If you’ve taken the roller coaster ride that is a startup – you know what I’m talking about.

Our interview this morning is with David Sacks, CEO of Geni.com, an online family tree and social networking site, as well as Yammer, the instant messaging startup spun out of Geni.com at TechCrunch50.

I started showing my partners more deals that I found interesting and doing loads of analysis on the future of markets I thought were ripe for disruption. Come 2009 we felt really bullish about the future for startups because the froth was gone and so, too, were wantrapreneurs. Yesterday was a Monday. And not a pleasant one.

For as long as I can remember, computer users have been complaining about the array of names and passwords required to get work done – a different unique user identification name and password are required to start the computer, email, social networks, banking, read online news, connect to the office, or check your phone bill.
