@lolitataub Nah. Just go for something other than the .com then. Can you lock down the matching social handles?

🤔 Asking for a founder: would you pay $700/yr for a domain? The name I want is considered “premium” and being held hostage by Godaddy. No one owns it they have just jacked up the price on it bc they feel it’s “that valuable.”

@naval I freakin' love surprises, I love 'em

@StartupGoneWild Heya... follow back so I can dm ya?

@Daniel_Johnsen @ProfBarrett @pjlaurie @ChadRenando @AaronBirkby @BadenURen @mspaulinefetaui @OQCE_ @sbxr Love the blog post and thought experiment, but I think we need to be careful to distinguish the goals and work of the startup from those of the ecosystem builder. Very different goals, models, tools, metrics, etc.

@Daniel_Johnsen @ProfBarrett @pjlaurie @ChadRenando @AaronBirkby @BadenURen @mspaulinefetaui @OQCE_ @sbxr While scalable startups are one product of an entrepreneurial ecosystem, the ecosystem itself is not scalable in the same way. Most of the startup community is made up of people, services, events, and other things that are naturally limited to repeatability.

What if #Brisbane or Queensland or Australia viewed a startup — what stage would it be in? Interesting thought exercise. @ProfBarrett @pjlaurie @ChadRenando @AaronBirkby @BadenURen @mspaulinefetaui @OQCE_ @sbxr

@sartajsinghgill @theemilykey One option is to use an advanced Google search to discover the subdomains which have been indexed. Won't necessarily reveal the real company names, but the results include a lot of leads... google.com/search?q=site%…

@theemilykey Random request - how to find private foundations who are using SmartSimple or Fluxx for their Grants Management Systems? One way is most clients would have a sub-domain name to access their SAAS, like weston.smartsimple.ca (which is for the Westin foundation). Can chat more 👍

@storyofastartup @ryankuder 1 snooty glass Chemex ritual for me please, 29 grams freshly ground light roast, 525ml water, makes 2 mugfuls

@ryankuder Max 2 cups from my machine in the morning. Then hot water with lemon or tea for the rest of the day.

☕️ I'm concerned that I'm drinking too much coffee. I'd like to sanity check my coffee consumption with y'all. Am I normal? How much coffee do you drink on an average day?

@mjdoyleAU @Daniel_Johnsen @appgyver @AmieDelisa @bubble @phil_martin_dev That’s correct. Actually I taught Daniel everything he knows about Bubble.

@Daniel_Johnsen @appgyver @AmieDelisa @theredhype @bubble @phil_martin_dev I do believe Michael introduced me to Bubble by telling me it was what you were using.

Do you remember what you googled that opened the door to the world of no-code?

@Daniel_Johnsen @mjdoyleAU @appgyver @AmieDelisa @bubble @phil_martin_dev Memory is a funny thing, isn’t it.

@mjdoyleAU @appgyver @AmieDelisa @theredhype @bubble @phil_martin_dev Hey now.... I remember this differently.

@mjdoyleAU You might post this question in the NoCode Reddit forum.

#NoCode brains trust, I have a backend question for you: Firebase or AWS? Explain. TIA :) #firebase #aws #amazonaws #cloudstorage #backend #development #nocoden00b #programmingn00b #100DaysOfNoCode

@nglaros Seems like what we need is a hand signal rather than a word.

How many times a day do you hear or say something like "sorry, no audio... we can see you but we can't hear you". We need a word for this.

@dbrown @nglaros That sidewalk dance is a juke! The term is used when athletes mislead opponents with quick fake directions.

@nglaros You know when you (used to) walk down the street and someone is walking the other way. You stop in front of each other both shift one way, then the other way until you figure it out. We need a word for that too.

@ryankuder Foundation: Wordpress + MailChimp. Extensions: Medium, social channels.

Say I wanted to start a blog. What's the best blogging platform that you'd start on today? Asking for a friend.

@lolitataub Fountain Innovation Fund in KCMO has invested in @Stenovate — led by Lauren Lawrence, currently in closed beta, launching publicly next month.

What funds *actually invest in pre-revenue companies?

@KristenBell In your professional opinion, is the mapinguari alive and well in the Amazon? And should there be an expedition to go play with its babies?

@Bose Maybe I'm just grumpy today. It's infuriating that I have to be logged into an account in order to make an adjustment in the app to the NC 700 HPs which are synced to my iPhone.

@carlyslater Not really what you’re looking for, but things I like... @reallygoodemail and email.geeks.chat

WRITING EMAILS: What are the best books, articles & templates for beginners at writing emails (both casual and semi-formal) in a biz environment? I learned iteratively, so i don't have a go-to list when asked to help those who are new to this "nuanced" form of writing.
