What has been proposed by Project Playfair is not a novel idea. In reporting and analysis (aka Business Intelligence) tools, “drillable” charts and graphs are very common, as is native connectivity with Excel. And, doing all of this over the web is also not new.

Google “web-based business intelligence” to see what I mean.

It would be awesome if tableFinder could integrate the Zagat restaurant guide as well (”show me all open tables with Zagat food score of 25 or better…”).

Thanks for providing us with the alternative to the “MBA-Lite analysis”. Perhaps you should read #25 again, as you seem to be saying similar things. Way to help out this “tiresome” commentary.

The internet has made it possible for individuals and small groups to form start-ups on a shoestring.

It reminds a bit of the frontier times when people would trade in what-ever they could grow on their bit of land. The land is now the information super-highway and these start-ups are the land-owners.

A lot of them may disappear as quickly as they have started, but by the law of numbers a few will survive and grow. With the right kind of help and support more of them will survive.

Good luck to the winners. With this investment you have an opportunity to have a real go at it.

To those of you who have not won this round, do not give up. Your idea may just have to grow a little more before somebody will take notice.

“… and Zemanta looks at it and then start to add the most likely links” … “This kin of application exists a lot in academic and enterprise content management systems but hasn’t appeared on the Web very much to date as the tend to be” … “in its ability to look intelligent at content and decide what to do with it…”

“… so that you an track you incoming and outgoings and start to really analysis your personal finances…”

“… It also create a social network …”

Can’t — stand — to — read — any — more — typos.
You’re an editor, man. Either slow down or look down.

I agree with a couple of the earlier poster that Zemanta does indeed look promising.

Once the Zemanta algorithim is converted to English for example the use of the product will take off.

@ 42 Dave: Having funded my own startups I tend to agree. I’m a pretty strong believer that in most cases you should seek funding quite a bit later than the idea stage.

However with such programs it’s often the case, particularly with yCombinator, that very young entrepreneurs get their first kick at the can. In my very early 20s I remember having seemingly unlimited tolerance for risk but need some structure and guidance to direct the good ideas. I think the yCombinator model is more about providing the structure that’s necessary for the ideas to flourish than it is removing risk.

@ 41 Ted:

This type of getup is not necessary to encourage individuals to take the plunge. I have nothing against these programs, but I truly believe that when you remove the risk of personal failure, you remove the most important incentive for success.

Usually (not always), true sacrifice separates the wannabes from the real deals…imho.

I hope all of the guys/gals in this program do great and I wish them luck.

What a great thing it would be if this type of getup continued in the web community — Seedcamp, Y-Combinator, etc — to encourage individuals to take the plunge and try to create their own companies instead of just taking the safe route with a 9-5.

Good summary. I enjoyed it. However, can I get a job as an editor? I don’t like re-reading my blog posts and I am sure there are lots of grammatical/spelling errors, but I read TechCrunch anyways so why not have me handle some editing?

Congrats to those selected. And great choice in partnering with Hummus Bros for the food. Get those guys into the American fast casual segment and they will be as big (bigger than) as any of these businesses.
