Startup.com was very insightful I imagine that it is hard to
start up a company and this movie shows that. There are a lot of factors that
go into creating and maintaining a business, not only that but you have to make
sure that who you are working for has the same plan in mind or you come to a
divide that could ultimately shut your whole business down, which is what we
kind of saw with the situation between the two co-founders, they were not on
the same page which was a main factor in the demise of this company. Another factor
to the website not being successful was the lack of uniqueness from other sites.
I feel like when you go in to make your own company you have to think about the
possibilities of other people doing or thinking the same things as you, I think
a little more research into the kind of work that the founders wanted this site
to perform and if others were doing it those things and how they were doing it
would have gave this team a better view on how they could be different and rise
above. One think that I was happy about at the end of the film was that both
co-founders maintained their long friendship that had got them that business to
start with. That made me happy because it showed a really good example of keeping
things professional and not letting the job in between personal relationships,
they are very strong people for that, and that’s what I commend them on out of
everything lol.
Hmm so what came first is the question. the egg or the chicken (I think that how that joke goes). Well the same can be asked about the email and postal services. Although we all know the Postal services came first, but it’s just so similar to email one could ask which came first. Some similarities include the option of mail forwarding. In the postal service world, you can forward your mail to a new residence if you are leaving your old one and still would like to receive your mail, similar to that if you just want to forward an email to another email you can do that, as long as you have the forwarding address for both. Just like with postal services you receive your mail at a specific address that hopefully you only have, just like an email address its just yours and the mail comes directly to you. I didn't really know how similar the email and the postal service was until I really thought about.
