But I don't understand why I'm asked to add at least TEN interests? And the categories presented are not good fit to my interests (for example, please add startup, venture capital, fashion etc.)

EXACTLY as sometimes the comments of an article can be more insightful (good audience makes a news site more valuable)  "What does matter, though, is if a story has real commentary in a few hundred Tweets, the commentary was insightful, and the commentary ties it in with the user’s interests."

"The game is real" and "you learn very quickly that you better be able to back up your talk with action, because nobody gets a free pass": humorous read yet quite philosophical...

"The phones are also sold solely online." when such a cost-effective model works, it works!

 

http://www.xiaomi.com/index.php website has no English version, so it's only available for China market and not shipped overseas?

Surprised to see ONLY 30 percent of Japanese survey respondents saying they visited a social media site within the last six months, compared to 67 percent in the US., 90 percent in China, and 70 percent in South Korea.

 

It's also interesting to see that "61% digital audiences make decision of purchase because of social media campaign (in China)" and wonder if there's similar study done recently in the U.S.?

 @VentureDeal Then it's like public trading of some sort at that time IF (and big IF) transparency is demanded?

 @rurikbradbury agreed "who you know" can definitely get you in the door but it's the everything else that really matters decides how long you really stay relevant.

 @hamishmckenzie personally I mainly use Facebook for work now so @path is difinitely filling a need for a more personal network but I agree it takes time to make it sticky there with the right sort of "audience" for sharing.

@hamishmckenzie, besides social web browser, what do you think of the mobile experience using "@path"?

The title is catchy...

 

But very well said here "...too much lean-flavored Kool-aid being drunk by both VCs and entrepreneurs." and here "Angels betting on lean startup iphone apps don’t have the money to play this game. Only VCs have the deep pockets to make this happen. The question now, is will they?"

 

The same goes to B2B startups in the sense that they can't play quick-exit game and don't act like favorite kids on the block.

Without googling, I know for sure it's much easier for men to "freeze their stuff". And IVF isn't fun experience for women when last time I heard people discuss it!

 @PatrickTeng I guess you can outsource all the parental "work", but again the happiness also lies in the process.
