JUNE 5, 2011
2 preamble issues having read the comments on TC today: 1: I know that the prices of startup companies is much great in Silicon Valley than in smaller towns / less tech focused areas in the US and the US prices higher than many foreign markets.

They have seen one side of a market where many of us have seen the ebb and flow multiple times. Still, market amnesia by ordinarily rational actors always surprises me.

The public version was launched in 2007 and got on the front page of Digg, on Lifehacker and Smashing magazine. From 2007 to 2009 I added a lot of icons and made minor improvements. In 2011 I talked to a friend, Steffen Thilsted , who asked me if we should join a startup-competition called VentureCup together.
