The problem is that right now I have nobody in my shoes. Got here in the U.S. 2 months ago, barely know a few people and all of them are not in the startup world. But I do agree with you that I need a recommendation


Sorry to hear that-- it's difficult to live the start-up life even with a good support network; to do so on your own will be quite a challenge.

Are there people whose judgment you respect that you can ask? Even if you don't know them well, they might be willing to point you in the right direction.


Honestly, I think that I NEED to improve my network and my blog is a attempt of doing so. I'm also joining entrepreneur groups and attending to meetings. Yes, I do have some people whose judgment I trust and respect and I go after them all the time but they are most located in England and Brazil.


OMG. Did you never heard about one spon of sugar, one spon of salt and one liter of water? It's the best for dehydration.


Paul, I would like to get a recommendation about your outsourcing in India. Could you please contact me at thiagolg at gmail.com ?


No one?? Do I need to move to another city??


If you want something around $1,000 why not a macbook with a student discount? You can buy the white one for $890 if I'm not wrong.


Yes I did and I'm sure I have a great opportunity in my hands but I also have some difficulties to face. I had a co-founder which was the coder and unfortunately he had to drop off the idea because personal reasons. We were working in a online investment social network which I'm pretty sure is great but now I can see some reasons to not be selected. I can do really little coding and I'm a sole founder right now. Let's see what is going to happen.


Have you checked out socialpicks.com? Sounds kinda like what your doing. I know about it because I was working on a similar idea that never took off a few years ago. Gotta be aware of the competition :)


Yeah, like socialpicks there are many others but my idea is not about stocks. It is another type of investment.


that is funny kkkk Matt Marron first advice was: "Apply early. I’m guessing something like 75% of their applications are submitted in the last few days. That’s usually how those sorts of things work. Doing it earlier can only help get you a little more consideration time."


That is funny!! I was sure very young back than but I love to log on the BBS back in Brazil. There wasn't a lot of them but it was great fun to spend hours doing nothing just making the phone bill go bigger and bigger


I think this is awesome but I'm not sure of how the majority would feel about it, I'm afraid some will just think this is a waste of time. Given the number of comments here I think I'm right...


Hey! It looks like you are building something great!!

First I tried the page your website suggested and everything worked just fine. Than I decided to hit back and try another site. I typed the calendar URL I wanted and than I just couldn't hit Ok. It wasn't working. So I had to reload the page and than Ok button was working. Well, I'm using Firefox 3 maybe is because of that but you should check it out.

Also I tried to add http://www.core77.com/calendar/ and I couldn't because the only thing I got was the processing status bar for more than 10 minutes.

Have you ever thought about building a Firefox plugin for it? It would be a great tool.

Well, I can say is that your work is really pretty dam good! Good luck!


Thanks for the feedback! Speed is a significant issue that we are working on, especially when a bunch of people hit the site at once.

A FireFox plugin will also definitely happen in the not too distant future.
