How the rich live, eh? I really don't see the point in facebook aquiring it unless it's something IPO related (which I haven't been following). Facebook could of created a better service and got a better brand name, more users,…

Very interesting points rasied. Nice article. I would engage or comment further if I wasn't as busy.

I think you have a nice way of writing. You also thoroughly back up your points which is nice. Bookmarked!

Ben,

I totally agree.

Sam,

I know this is probably what you didn't want to hear as it will consume time, money and resources but unfortunately you need to know your parents are protected. If you can't or don't have…

I agree wikipedia is often manipulated and made biased to a certian someone or company. There was a case last year where an employee for citrix slowly started to edit the page on cloud computering. Also there are the infamous…

Jeremy,

I'm not totaly agreeing with Edoardo, I'm merely saying one reason employees like to see a university degree. Personally I wouldn't employee someone just on their grades but on a factor of things such as skill and personality. Although…

One of the best things about going to university to an employer, is that it shows, when you finish your degree, that you were dedicated and didn't give up easily. A lot of employers want staff who won't leave after…

Quora isn't really anything new. We've have Yahoo Answer and ask jeeves (to name a few) for years and they haven't ousted wikipedia.

I can see quora actually entering the deadpool...

Ah that's a nuisance! I've been reading Amazon Payments terms of service, and all the other legal jargon, and as you're aware it does say if your under 18 you can only use it under a parent/gaurdians name.

As you…

Amazon... could you not use paypal? I think after so much paypal will need to verify you, but I guess you can close the account before then. Otherwise for stability, you could look into opening a paypal business (don't think…

True I guess. However if it's online then I couldn't do it at school amongst other places.

I would still recommend a book. Read it in bed; take it to school and at the end of the day nothing beats a paperback!

Greetings,

Could you please elaborate a bit more? A few questions....Do you know any coding languages? If you don't it's probably worth learning something, when I first started around 4 years ago I rented various books from my local library…

+1 to JT. This is a inconsequential feature which can be easily applied if deemed necessary by the gumroad team.

Tom,

I'm not critising Propelly! I'm critising the actual business concept (including gumroad). I think it's flawed unless you're a famous person or someone with a great social following. You have to admit yourself though, It's better for you to…

I read about seasteading and found it very interesting. Would be cheaper to purchase Sealand and expand it though. Wish I could come but live in little old England.

EDIT: Just read Sean Hastings of havenco is going to be…

Tom,

You sell website themes on propelly, right? You're telling me that you've sold more on propelly than on lets say a theme marketplace?

Hmm, No I dont think they have the appetite to answer that question. I guess you've been crossed of the christmas card list :/

I think you can probably count on one hand how many people value that 'niche'. Time will tell as to what happens.

HA! Are you the same guy who posted on airy labs facebook? 'Why are you running your company with your mom and dad?' If you're I couldn't agree more, why would you want to?
