thankuz | 15 years ago | on: What will Google offer?

For a company that boasts so much about 'eating their own dog food,' it seems like a lot of things like that get overlooked on most of their new products. I used to call them out all the time on being hypocrites about a lot of the Webmaster / SEO rules they preached and didn't follow on their own domains (ie. canonical URLs, 301 redirects, sloppy URLs, etc.)

Pretty safe to say that if it's new, shiny, buzzing, makes money and users love it - Google will either (offer to) buy it, or build it.

Funny. I thought the same at first glance. I actually hovered over each underlined text block out of habit, even though subconsciously after the first one I knew the others weren't links.

Might want to check out: Chargify, Spreedly or Recurly

I also read a great post on setting up payments the right way, on the cheap, but I can't find it now. Will post if I do.

One nice thing about PayPal is you can use them for Offline, Web and Mobile payments - there are pros and cons to consider, might want to contact a few companies and explain your needs.

thankuz | 15 years ago | on: The only question your startup needs to answer: What’s your one thing?

I see your points and they are well received. I am not THAT scientific, it's really just an expression, but to argue your point a bit I pose this:

Rather than thinking of it as a laser being focused on an object or location (cause to converge on or toward a central point) try thinking of it as physical time and effort (focus) in a direct beam like a laser (concentration of attention or physical energy on something).

Really, it all depends on your perspective, and how you define "focus". And, whether or not you take it as an analogy or for face value.

Simple. Build a $70MM startup incubator in a mansion and fill it with the best and brightest. Like the Playboy mansion only for startup founders. Could call it Startup Centerfold. Could even have it's own Grotto for super secret deal discussions. And, yes, they can have their own calendar too!
