"Fantastically put, thank you for this post, it also matches my -much shorter- experience. I call early VC a strictly promise-based investment vs a fact-based investment which is (or supposed to be) PE and the stock market. The earlier you understand this, the less time you waste wandering around with people who don't."

Re: Why I will never pursue cheating again - A Computer Scientist in a Business School - http://www.behind-the-enemy-lines.com/2011...
"First, Prof thank you for posting this and taking this discussion public, I can think of various reasons why such a move is a bold yet much needed one. A few years ago I had the opportunity to teach a post graduate course at NTUA, Greece. I requested all students to create a profile in the course's blog and publish all their assignments there. There was still cheating, but things were improving over the weeks without any major intervention of mine.Let's face it, cheating is a common practice, not only within universities but pretty much everywhere out there as well. I personally do not believe in punishments but in providing the right incentives, and social proof seems to be one of the few that actually works as you correctly pointed out."

Re: Financing Options: Convertible Debt - http://www.disqus.com/people...
"Fred, is there a way to secure other investor rights (apart from equity / monetary returns) with a convertible note? My understanding is that there is not, or at least it is not typical at all, and that's another characteristic of convertible loans with is pros and cons as an option."

Roll call...this can be great if we all participate. Add yourself to this shared map. I created a placemark on the 2 major intersections near where I live.

Mo, I'm a newb to the shared maps stuff, but I turned on collaboration and allowed anyone to edit the map. There should be an edit button and then you can add a placemark.
- Mark Krynsky
erm...Adelaide, SA, Australia
- Mo Kargas
Sydney, Australia.
- Andrew Trinh
Yeah, I don't see how to add anything to the map
- Rah-PM 2012
But you already have Rahsheen.
- Andrew Trinh
Well it's working because I see others are adding themselves...Make sure you are logged into your Google account.
- Mark Krynsky
After most have put their placemarks on, don't let anyone edit it because there's always someone out there waiting to fuck shit up.
- Andrew Trinh
This guide may help http://local.google.com/support...
- Mark Krynsky
@Andrew...good point. I just changed it from public to unlisted which only makes the map available to those with the URL.
- Mark Krynsky
Even so, last time we had the Confessions account details on FF it was tinkered with.
- Andrew Trinh
I added mine, but in the process of learning I think I nudged the Sydney, Australia points off a little. Sorry.
- Rob H.
Ok, think I did it!
- Bec Rowe @d0tski
Robert bought me a new house in the northern suburbs.

@Bec...nice. You are the first brave female on here.

Cool idea, Mark! I was thinking something like this would be fun the other day. Duly added myself - or at least the nearest big intersection. ;)
- Jandy
Mousing over the usernames shows your Google profile info...cool.

I marked a bus stop near my house. But not TOO near. :)

@Jill, make sure you are logged into your Google account and then click on the edit button above the list of names already on the map. You will then see the pushpin in the upper left hand side of the map.
- Mark Krynsky
Great idea!

Added. Seems like there are a lot of us in the Bay Area...we must do a get together at some point.
- Neal "thePuck" Jansons
@Neal yea, we really need a FriendFeed meetup. I might be up there for Web 2.0 in March...or we can have one at SXSW if a large number of us are going. Let's plan and get the Upcoming page going.
- Mark Krynsky
Am I the only FriendFeeder in VA?
- Aram Zucker-Scharff
@Mark Not gonna make SXSW, but am definitely down for working on an FF get together. March is long enough away to make sure plenty of people have time to plan ahead. I added you on Upcoming so we can start coordinating it. Anyone else interested/want to help set this up?
- Neal "thePuck" Jansons
Maybe we can talk Paul & Bret into letting us invade the FF offices for a meetup in conjunction with Web 2.0? That would be sooooo cool!
- Mark Krynsky
Oooh, now that's a really great idea.

DHH vs. Calacanis on This Week in Startups - http://news.ycombinator.com/item...
"I loved the interview, and I agree with most of DHH's comments, but I think that being absolute on the correctness of a number of opinions (like, "all VC powered companies are flawed" etc) is fundamentally wrong, absoluteness is not the case when you talk about people and their actions."
