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.
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 :)
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!
