But after wandering the hipster cafes of SOMA for 31 days meeting amazing people, I failed to find something I love. While I dreamt up ideas for a company, my personal passion tugged at me. I ignored it because I judged it to be too risky. Too impossible to consider. Too ambitious to be sane. For someone who has told thousands of entrepreneurs to follow their passions, my denial felt hypocritical." The Five Types of Virality Josh Elman "The other key is to make sure your product is easy to describe. The words you use to describe your product — on your home page, in your press messaging, and in the product itself will be the foundation of how your users describe it."

How much space parked cars take up lining both sides of the street, and how much of our cities go unused covered by parking lots." 20 Million Visits A Month Ethan Smith "Here's what I've seen occurover and over: Founder starts a company. He's not an SEO expert, buthears that it's important. He asks around, and is told to launch 50 million pages." Remember operator billing?
