No, you wouldn't be able to operate your business under the name Groupon in Australia.

There are multiple Groupon "clones" on the ground in Australia, a few doing some fairly big numbers. Groupon have acquired one of the biggest (if my sources are correct) in JumpOnIt.com.au. Scoopons b…

It's not all that clear from the link but I believe they are all online courses so anyone can attend. :)

A fairly detailed article around the circumstances that have lead to the charges filed against him. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1307137/Su... Certainly not the definitive sourc…

I think the idea of web-ads inside your desktop app are a great idea. You can then spend more time finding an ad network catering to your niche rather than your technology.

I'm working on an ad network for the second time in 2 years. The key in my opinion has been around sales, assuming you're a premium network. It took me 2 years to understand the sales process and to m…

So easy to make these kinds of comments. We know it's a largely white and masculine list but it's also who inspired us. Who are the top 50 people who inspire you?

It's neither.

This is so relevant to me in my business where we have been shifting into business development mode. I've had a bunch of meetings that have come about from cold calling potential clients. Almost ever…

I went back to finish by degree after a few years in the work force and while it has been tough it's definitely been rewarding. It certainly hasn't stopped me pursuing the startup life and over the la…

What country are you from? I'm trying to think of an accent that would make it sound like "audioso"...

I'll also add that I've been looking for something like this for a client so I'll make sure I check both products out FWIW.

This kind of surprises me. I had naively assumed that it wasn't all that difficult to get an article on Techcrunch. How did you "reach out"?

I agree with the opening sentence. There really are some amazing tech companies doing great things in Australia that don't get enough recognition. In the last fortnight I've met a couple of these seri…

When I first saw Divvyshot (YC09?) I thought that it was more of a feature than a startup. And I guess I was kind of right because Facebook eventually bought the company - the incredibly talented comp…

This is all really helpful, thank you. Other suggestions I've had are "excel" and Behance's "Action Method".

I don't think he's saying it's necessarily bad to sell domain names but I think the intention here is to help out your fellow hackers. If you've got a domain you're not using and a member of this com…

I really like your determination here. Sales might not have come rushing through the door but you've persisted and changed tack where you needed to in order to make it a success. Keep at it!

on that note checkout 750words.com. Basically you write 750 words a day and it analyses the text to tell you about what you have written - whether it's extroverted, self-centred, positive etc. These s…

This program was cancelled some time ago.

I think this is fairly short sighted - they've got a lot of people to lose before they become irrelevant and they're still in a growth curve.

Crappy design + too much irrelevant advertising + incredibly slow load times. The next version definitely needs to take the best elements of all of those services but initially it needs simplicity and…

This article isn't about the fact that he quit his job or how he went about it, it's about challenging the norms of society and not just accepting them. I think it's this naivety that let's many entre…

I'll also add that I really like working with people who I can consider my equals or who are better than me. To give someone who is as good as me or better a lesser equity share when we're both pushin…
