They clearly write the blog entries, but now you wanna tell me they wrote the thank you message for the signup?

That was the context of my citation earlier on.

“so by commenting on typos, you are insulting your peers.”

No, I’m not. It’s a sad day when we have to cast patent nets, but thanks to Microsoft, we have no choice. Don’t be fooled. I am very sad about having to patent every little invention I make up. Thanks to Microsoft, we have to spend thousands of dollars, and countless hours drawing those stupid illustrations in Dia.

I would like nothing more than a world without patents. Microsoft, and their evilness will never let that happen.

Eventually people are going to get sick of the WII’s novelty. They are going to get sick of not seeing spellling and grammar errors in search results, or being able to search for spelling mistakes on websites.

When you are a small entity you really have to start laying out some IP land mines with good inventions that are probably going to be used in the near foreseeable future, and that’s what I’m about. That and selling social networking software. I used to be about selling programming but that didn’t pay very well. So now I am about this.

I wrote “the average worker”

You are citing the average IT MANAGER. Big difference.

“If you want people to take you seriously”

I actually don’t really care if they take me seriously. The pending patent will take care of that. If I open up Google or MSN one day and see a “grammar search” where it lists grammatical or spelling errors on indexed pages, I will call up the patent army and enforce my invention.

Aside from that I just want people to click on the $199 paypal payment button and buy my social networking script, which they will. Because it rox.

” I was really told that the average worker does only make 2k/y in those countries though…..I’m really sorry Mike if you were offended by the whole Indians make poor salaries thing, but why the hell do you think corporate America moved low skill jobs there? It’s because they can run people into the ground like pets there for cheap. That’s reality. They are very mean.”

Chris…i am not offended by Indian or Chinese workers making 2k/y, I am just offended that a guy as uneducated as you are making stupid comments on a site like Techcrunch. If you want people to take you seriously, you need to smarten up a little and “try” to learn from others. Claiming that you have something that Google, Yahoo, Microsoft or Powerset does not have, is not helping especially when your sitespaces.net’s cloning job turned out to look worst than MySpace.

Stop acting like you know everything by putting others down. If not, you will just end up a superficial guy with a big head who everyone will ignore.

Oh lol, by the way, Indian and Chinese workers make more than 2k/year

The good thing about this thread is that it lead me to invent a component on my search engine that exposes search results with spelling errors highlighted and have the search results of indexed sites organized based on spelling errors.

Google doesn’t have that, Yahoo doesn’t, Microsoft doesn’t, powerset doesn’t.

Plus I patented site:example.com search for spelling and grammar mistakes too. I have a whole year to get the illustrations for the utility patent done now. It won’t take me 2 months. I just have to release my social script.

This is actually my 8th patent app, so this thread was awesome for me.

I’m really sorry Mike if you were offended by the whole Indians make poor salaries thing, but why the hell do you think corporate America moved low skill jobs there? It’s because they can run people into the ground like pets there for cheap. That’s reality. They are very mean.

” I was told that the average yearly salary is $2000 in China and India,
so if you can do this ONE LITTLE THING for us,
consider you won’t have to work again for the rest of the year. ”

You are a real moron. Please leave Techcrunch, you and your “Myspace clone” site. Good luck getting funding.

A search engine that spits out only pages with spelling errors of spidered websites

3.455555555555555 repeating million in VC.

– the founding member

But the first premise of getting 30 pitches is still extremely unlikely – most companies are lucky if they get a handful, and most don’t pan out for an actual term sheet.

I don’t know where such stats come from, my guess is more from companies who have already pitched. But in the larger scheme, it’s much more likely that 1) a company would have a very hard time getting 30 pitches (where they come in for the meeting and do the full presentation, not “send your info and I’ll look it over”) 2) getting 3 term sheets from 30 pitches (10%) is wildly optimistic.

I also don’t know what hot area @”A”[#2] poster did to get 3 term sheets out of a mere 6 meetings, this is fantastic, unless one already started a succesful company, is well connected, or has a super-hot idea/company, but a lot of start-ups read this blog and the reality is that this is FAR from the reality. In reality, less than 1% of all companies seeking VC funding get any money. Your chances are greater with angels, friends & family, building revenue, or other creative means of raising money – not VCs.

BTW, @15, you can keep proof reading my site for grammar mistakes for free if you like. My vim will be open until 5PM.

Features are not differentiators.

You seem to have the skills and enthusiasm, but your me-too approach will never work. The sooner you accept that, the better off you’ll be.

Classic.

My vim says you’re wrong.

Seriously. Get the fuck out of here. We’re all tired of listening to you and your shameless self-promotion for your shitty me-too ideas. Please find another website to spam.

At least their typo is an actual word…from your own website’s privacy page at http://sitespac...dex.php?privacy:
“We do not share your email address or any other information with any other agency, company, or *diety*, period.”

WTF is a diety? I can only assuming you mean *deity*, but your India-based outsourced development team that works for $8 / hr made a mistake.

Right?
