Congrats on the launch Trigger team!

Thanks Gordon :).

I'm pretty excited to be working in this area and with this team and investors. It has taken us a year of iterating with our early customers to get to this point and it's really just the start. There's so much to fix to make cross-platform app development simpler.

Congratulations guys, always great to see a start-up move on to the next phase. Good luck with everything.

Raspberry pi does look very interesting. Hopefully it inspires more kids to get involved at an earlier age. When is it supposed to be released?

Great post on an important topic. I also like Fred Wilson's advice:

"Above all else, look for great judgment and ethics."

+1 just for the title

I grew up in Durham, NC so it's great to see startups like Adzerk doing well. It's clear that the startup scene in the Triangle (with all the tech talent, access to universities, etc.) is blowing up. Keep it up!

Yes, it will likely stabilize in the mid-eighties over the next few weeks. However Blodget's main argument here is that the underwriters left a lot of money on the table. Assuming a more proper price for the stock of around $60 (instead of the $45) means that LinkedIn left about $130 million on the table.

agreed, that point stood out to me too.

also his note about not needing every iOS-device owner. And his footnote illustrates just how huge the iOS market is:

"If “only” 1% of current iOS-device owners bought Instapaper, I’d make about $5 million. I’d love to have 1% of the market"

Well laid out. The worst crime here is taking up the invaluable time of Dropbox developers who could and should be focused elsewhere.

Or from a slightly different perspective, "strongly encouraging the developers at Dropbox to focus _now_ on security/privacy issues that ought to have been dealt with before pushing their existing code live". Doesn't seem to deserve the label "worst crime" when described like that.

this is great to see. pandora while you read anyone?
