My advice is work for a big company first. The seed capital is nice to have, plus the mentorship and learning how things are done in the "real world" before starting up will be helpful. You'll probably notice lots of bottlenecks which you can then work on solving with your startup.
The key point is: You can start a startup at any time, but you can only enter a big company in a graduate position for about a year after graduation. After that, you'll have a much tougher time getting in.
It's a bad idea for the vast majority of people, unless of course you're selling a method to make money with a blog, in which case it becomes scammy MLM.
I'd suggest it's partly a matter of time investment required. If I could get a barber license in 4 weeks, or even 12 weeks, I wouldn't mind. But at a year of study, it becomes a more serious venture.
I agree Keyle. This is exactly what I said above and got greyed out for (deleted post above). I don't have time to read useless crap on here. I come here for good, useful content about startups and tech.
HN is very easy to shill vote up on own posts though, and I suggest thats what is happening here. A large part of its quality came from its obscurity.
It's becoming famous and its time to make a new one.
Although many content pieces on the internet are provided completely free, some of the content producers make a living from the advertising revenue their work provides. Without that revenue, they would stop producing their interesting articles.
In my Adwords experience I can safely say Google has the worst customer experience I have ever known. It makes Ebay look good.
Buyers should note these are cheap because they're going to be tracking your every move. Every site you visit and everything you type will be logged using the autocomplete function as it already is within Chrome.
Not really, but people like to think it does. Also the Panda update led many to believe they need a 2000 word article minimum. Which is just plain wrong.
On a side note, why has no serious competitor to Skype appeared? Given the maturity of the tech involved (its just VOIP) and the size of the pie, i'd have thought there would be more competition for a slice.
