@zombidev I hear ya. Taking this convo offline for now. It's dominated my thread already.

@danzitting Most def. I don't think every startup can have stunning design from the start, but should definitely move in that direction.

@zombidev Additionally, I did try to help JK, by RT his freelance request, since retracted. Oh well. I'm sure he will do fine.

@zombidev That maybe true, but we are one community. JK doesn't seem to value that.

@WELLO Great pics Jerry. Thanks for sharing.

Great insight into emerging Detroit startup scene. “@joshlinkner: DVP. Detroit. Madison. Jake. How sweet. http://t.co/UqZVCOCI”

@justinko Neither actually

@justinko I see that I can add rude to the growing list of 'pleasant' attributes. Must have hit a nerve. :-)

@justinko Dude. You just did. Cant believe you brought up money like that. Lame.

Enjoyed meeting Brad & Brad and touring Seed Philly tonight. Great things on horizon "@bradoyler: @jamieontiveros cc @seedphilly @Denenberg"

@bradoyler it was great meeting you tonight. Really enjoyed hanging out and getting a sense for the Philly startup scene. Cheers!!

@justinko yeah. And because we're neighbors. :)

@justinko I'm in Philly this week, but will be back in Denver on Friday. Coffee this weekend or next week?

.@Pv @hnshah I enjoy using WP & @LaunchEffect for my landing pages. Polished is an understatement. Premium coming soon. #LeanStartupHack

Philly airport is empty today. Is there a football game on or something?

@gtcaz Congrats. On what subject?

@SenorG I totally missed it. Wish I could have made it.

Woot! "@paulg: If the people lead, the leaders will follow: http://t.co/Ek2EEC7Y"

@jasonh @davidpaulyoung thanks Jason. That definitely helps. Happy New Year guys.

@jasonh I'm considering using a 'lifetime' fundraising approach. Have any lessons learned that you can share? /cc @davidpaulyoung

@springsstartup Thanks for the follow. I'm following you back here: @jamieontiveros

@wanderfowl Ha! Well said.

@wanderfowl I'd agree that makes sense. for retail type sites.

@mja It was. I did get one perfect score out of, "who knows how many".

@wanderfowl True. What's a better approach? Signing in with Facebook or Twitter? Social media profiles are more ID like, I think.

@wanderfowl Awesome.

@wanderfowl Is that a Google Voice number?

@wanderfowl Depends on the store, but most likely not. Interesting because there are startups trying to collect that for brick and mortars.

@wanderfowl Also, you don't gain early access typically without a valid addy. I now have an email dedicated to startups.

@wanderfowl I don't consider email as and ID. It's more like a phone #. Sure i have a firstname.lastname@Gmail, but rarely give it out.

@mja Check it out. “@jonto: I stumbled across the Kerning game recently. It's strangely addictive. http://t.co/zP3wAKSq”

@mja Did you play that kerning game that I liked awhile back? It's mad fun.

@wanderfowl email addresses are currency for VC backed startups. Agree that the end goal should be tailored to the situation.

@mja Isn't that always the case, eh? I'm sure they're fine.

@UnLogikal If it does gain traction, I think you're right in that it will take share from Android.

@MayorLawrence Thanks for the follow Mayor!! Keep us abreast of the good work being done on your side of town!

@gionnicrawford It is stressful, but you'll find a way. Best of luck.

@bryanFenster I kept it open. Waiting for the call.
