siong1987 thanks man! it was fun doing the event. i hope i wasn't too harsh to our hosts when i said that, i don't mean whatsoever that all these events are useless. i've been to my fair share of these startup talks and many are great. and this one was a great opportunity for attendees, but a balance needs to be found.

i still even find myself reading more articles on "news.ycombo" then i should be and get caught in the too much analysis/thinking phase, and not enough doing. it's like an addiction for most people to get stuck in that too, so these events and all the blogs talking about how to start a business should almost carry a warning label :)
