What a great title. I *have* to read this post. BRB. - Yolanda

Part of the problem is that web development is fairly easy. Almost anyone can learn some html, javascript, css and php and present a decent looking website. People think that once you have a website, the money should start rolling in. - Rob Diana

"I would definitely agree that a bad founder/CEO/management team can and will ruin a great idea. My main point is that people, I think too often, suggest that the idea part just isnt very important. My point is that the idea part is *really* important, and that the reason the tech market has been sucking is because of lack of good ideas. I would tend to argue that, particularly in the current market, you need both good ideas and good mgmt/execution." - Hank Williams
i have no help for you but i just wanted to comment that every time i see one of your posts on Friendfeed I want to like it JUST for the blog title. - Nathan Rein

"I would agree that the data is more valuable to users than the map stuff. But I do think that giving people real thumbnail dynamic insight into a site is going to become much more common and important compared to dry static homepages.
