sometimes i wish i was from the current generation...(but not often)
i am so much from the brick/mortar era
it's fascinating watching these young kids
these young entrepreneurs create these new niches

Yeah. These guys went from two people at a kitchen table to 75 employees with offices in NYC and San Fran, not bad for three years.

wow....pretty cool BT

I was at least thinking along the same lines a year or so ago
i "checked in" to my Facebook at an Italian Restaurant
the older guy waiter asked me what I was doing
i told him I was "checking in" on my Facebook
& everyone on my Facebook friends list would see I was eating @ his restaurant
he brought the mgr over....and I explained how it worked
and if they could get more people to "check in" on Facebook
that they would get their name out there to a lot of people
and basically it would be no cost advertising....they were
really unaware of the "check in" feature on Facebook & they
really liked the idea of spreading their name for free....
so they brought me a free Tiramisu dessert.....
I get a free dessert and these kids get rich! ....lol

Is the kid going to run for president in 12? If it were a choice between him or the one we have I would go for the kid.
