Time to start a company

When I first read Caterina's bad time to start a company I knew that I couldn't have been the only one who disagreed with her. I was going to write a drawn out entry, but it seems the people in the comments have voiced many of my own opinions along with David over at 37signals.

There is never a bad time to start a good company in my opinion, but there is always a bad time to start a bad company.

Thankfully Caterina updated the entry:

I was talking here about consumer-facing Web 2.0 companies based in San Francisco and the Valley, which bears repeating. Given that 9 out of 10 companies fail, I just think the odds are getting worse.

Ugly Is Trendy

Which is far from envious, IMO. At least Scrivs does it intentionally.

Well obviously I'm not need in conversation.

It's Hard Being A Custodian

Robert Nyman (9rules member) laments on the fact that the hardwork you put into a design might all be for nothing once the client gets their hands on it. Just the way life goes, everyone is a tweaker.

Choke on a Mint

David takes the opposite viewpoint on what many of the web have considered this month's hot new web app. I will refrain from any judgement till I use it.

When you read it keep an open mind and don't think with your Inman heart. I love the guy just like everyone else.

Colly finally shows you how to make it in

I can't remember if I wrote something like this a while ago or not when I was running the Vault, but if I did I know it wasn't this good. Too many people assume their sites should be in every showcase around.

Make it for the users and the rest will take care of itself.

Colly rolls on with the trolls

Trolls will be trolls and haters will be haters.

Colly speaks my mind

Ever since I sold the CSS Vault I wondered why people would continue to create new CSS galleries that didn't push the envelope. There is a reason that Stylegala is on top and it isn't because of its design. Colly explains what needs to change, but I don't think much will change. Almost makes me want to enter the game again.
