“Some companies offered us right off the bat up to one million, and then we got another offer that was like two million,” he says.

He and D’Angelo at first decided not to sell.

“I don’t really like putting a price-tag on the stuff I do. That’s just like not the point,” Zuckerberg says.

Really?? Is this a joke? How can a journalist even write that?

Great Idea. I suspect you will be do most of your marketing in NYC. I will be starting a local business startup too. I am curious to learn how you market in a big city such as NYC.

PS I added the site to http://appuseful.com/app/n/Rent-hop .

After reading some comments, I just want to give some words of encouragements.

Don't worry too much about your bloated competition such as Blackboard. I am currently a college student and I hate having having to check blackboard. I would much rather have assignment and announcements emailed to me. Most students are lazy like that too. However there are several things that schools need.

-roster page where students can email the whole class or select number of students

-discussion board

-some communication channel for parents, parents heavily invested in their child and a lot of them have zero clue of what they are learning

-A simple class page incase the student wants to login and get their assignments without their clutter of their email.

-Clear subject lines for emails that are sent out

I love the design and the font. You should definitely save the list of students emails. Have a page where it has the class roster and be able to email students individually or groups of students.

Be sure to submit it to http://AppUseful.com also!

I cannot believe why so many people are so enamored with Seth Goldin's grossly glorified common sense.

    * Word spreads.

No shit. Word of mouth, that is really important.

   * Needs are similar.

Wow you need to pick a market with multiple customers. Brilliant!!!

    * Budgets exist.

Make sure your Customers have money! Don't know if you guys know this, if your customers don't have money, they cannot pay you!

     * Barriers exist.

Who has not heard of barriers to entry? Well IMHO, barrier to entry from the technology standpoint is not that important. There are many programmer than can make twitter, youtube, wordpress clones...etc. Execution is more crucial

We will get rid of the background hover effect. It was something we were just playing with. Will consider getting the getting rid of website title suggestion.

Ya I agree is hard to define a webapp. If the site is useful and have functionality other than just displaying images and content, we would consider it.

Our goal is to make AppUseful straightforward enough to market to the mainstream users. There are already a lot of resources that target the geek community. About half of my friends still don't know about popular sites such as Yelp.

That is definitely something we would spend a lot of time on. We are starting to see some categories that don't fit. The tag approach of go2web20 is confusing for the average users, we will add subcategories in the future. Our rating system will display the higher quality apps to the users first.
