No. It's largely a very safe city and a great place to live in. I've lived here for 16 years (2 in Lakeview, 1 in Uptown, 3 in the West Loop and 10 in Lincoln Square). If I can help answer any questions about the various neighborhoods, you can reach me via [email protected].
Per Facebook as of March 2015, 936M people use the service every day, 798M using their phone. I love Twitter too, but with 13% of the world using it every day, it's no ghost town.
"I think, at the end of the year, if you picked your team right, you'd have a pretty good shot at a profitable business. And if it fails? Well, good news, you can do it all over again. 40 times. And still have $5 million left"
As someone who has bootstrapped a company to profitability, you're definitely right about people the most important ingredient.

Thanks - yep, design was done in-house by our design/UX director (http://www.signalhq.com/about-us/team/drew-myler). We're now focused on cleaning up our message so that you immediately know what the product does when hit the home page. I think a few walk through videos will be helpful, it's a great product.
Signal (http://www.signalhq.com) supports 13 including myself, co-founded in 2006. First few years as a founder we're incredibly tough (paid others but not ourselves), but we're doing great now.
I also didn't expect this but it doesn't really bother me either. It seems pretty logical to me - if I like something I'd like to have access to more of it.
I think Google is going to get behind Apps in a big way - it's just natural progression for them. We've been using it for three years and absolutely love it. I don't understand why people think using Google Apps and Microsoft products are mutually exclusive - I still write contracts w/Word and use Excel for forecasting.
No, I wouldn't pay for it. Shouldn't the trolling issue naturally work it self out over time? If anonymous users are the issue perhaps add some additional validation of identities?
