Hi Joshu,

1) How aggressive are you in getting deals done? Are you more like "lets have a chat, sign here" or more like "okay, call me if you ever need funding."?

2) I'm actually working on a site similar to Delicious, http://www.howl.com. Its not quite bookmarking, we call it link blogging. What do you make of the market? Thanks




I am not that aggressive. If the entrepreneur doesn't understand how I can help/add value/etc then I don't really push it. It's not something that comes up a lot.

Looks kinda neat. Feels tumblr-y. As an investor I avoid content-y stuff like this (how do you monetize? ads probably) but as a user and as a developer I like stuff like this.


howl looks neat (good domain) how are you better than tumblr?


still figuring that out. I think we're lighter and easier to post with. We also don't offer any blogging tools other than pasting links. We think we can do comments and content discovery better.
