I don't understand the hostility in this thread.
Willix - For those of us that aren't aware of freelancer, can you provide some numbers on the kind of growth this team has been able to achieve? Also, it will help to know some top performing growth tactics for you guys...examples as specific as the airbnb one would be great!

>> Groupon's business-professor cofounder, Eric Lefkofsky, has dumped about $382 million of his shares in the prior private financings.
It's important to know what percentage of his total shares he dumped to form an opinion on this.

Though I've admired the Groupon humor in their emails and PR, these ads just didn't seem funny...not sure what taste it leaves in the mouth...
sk_0919 | 15 years ago | on: Why I Don’t Buy the Quora Hype
The site-wide quality of answers matters less for Quora to be useful to an individual when you're following people rather than topics. You see answers upvoted by people you follow or answered by people you follow.
Quora will continue to work for the same reasons that Twitter does...I get tweets from people I follow, millions of bieber fans don't affect my twitter homepage.

Though this article is about Politics, it gives us insight into how legacy can be different from reality at times...or almost always

"Don't be evil" must be one of the biggest PR regrets of Google. Everything they do today is measured up to that

It might be savvy marketing. With the attention this post is getting, someone from Apple would probably contact them soon

As I've grown older, I've come to believe that holding strong opinions and being decisive is extremely important and impactful. It comes with the caveat though that as soon as you find you're wrong, you need to be able to change direction and not cling to your disproved beliefs.
