Yeah, it almost sounds like a fire sale.

My point is that focusing on "maximizing shareholder value" instead of innovation and customer experience is what got RIM in trouble in the first place. It seems no lessons have been learned.

Mr. Heins (new RIM CEO) says "we are undertaking a comprehensive review of strategic opportunities including partnerships and joint ventures, licensing, and other ways to leverage RIM's assets and maximize value for our stakeholders."

Can you imagine Steve Jobs saying stuff like "maximize value for our shareholders"?

Steve was obsessed with providing a user experience that blew people's minds and designing products that changed the world. And he did, repeatedly.

RIM's leadership has no vision, and so there is no chance they will survive.

Is it a print magazine or website? Website is less risky obviously. Going the print publication way will surely lead you to financial failure and starvation.

I say do it, but be okay with not having all the answers right now, but that other revenue opportunities related to your startup will likely manifest themselves.

Political concentration camps in North Korea. I'm serious.

Mind you, I do have an idea for this. If anyone is interest (even you Ben), hit me up on email.

The Internet (the iPhone automatically capitalized it for me) is kind of like air - it's ubiquitous, and yet we don't see the word air capitalized.

The design and explanation of the service is fine. I understood right away what you were offering.

I definitely need an about page with contact info, and some hint of price. More info required before I could go ahead with this.

I actually really like the idea. What's the pricing structure like?

I voted this story up because I want somebody to kick Salesforce's ass.

Silicon Valley investors (PG included) prefer to invest in young rockstarish startups, so why are we surprised when we see these high profile startups do immature and sexist things?

If maturity and manners were important to investors, they would be screening for it. As far as I know, they are not.

I see a need here, and if contactformify is dead simple to use, then I think you have a big market because not many companies seem to get it right (Wufoo notwithstanding).

Best of luck, and I will use your service!
