Startups Who Want To Change World - Only 10 Days To Apply To Triangle Startup Factory [Marty Rec]

Startups Who Want To Change World - Only 10 Days To Apply To Triangle Startup Factory [Marty Rec] | Startup Revolution | Scoop.it
Durham Incubator
Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

Only 10 days left to apply for Triangle Startup Factory's (TSF's) Y-Combinator-like accelerator program. I HIGHLY recommend Chris Hievly and Dave Neal at TSF for any entrepreneur who wants to change the world.

Why I Recommend TSF
I officially turned OLD on 1.1.13, my 55th birthday. I've learned a few things along the way. One lesson is some people GET IT while most do not. 

In this context "get it" means more than being an expert about an area of business expertise. Getting it means you live life bounded by passion, love and connection more than money or its many pursuits. To a true entrepreneur, money is a TOOL to be used to build cool stuff.  

Most of the really rich people I know, and 100% of the mega-successful entrepreneurs I've met and know, have a common approach to life. All mega-successful people are kind, generous and giving. 

Successful entrepreneurs didn't make their millions and then become kind, generous and giving. They made their millions BECAUSE they are all of those things.

 

Chris Hievly and Dave Neal are brilliant entrepreneurs who make a living now helping others. KUDOS to Chris and Dave and kudos to you if you are smart enough to apply and win a place at TSF.

Is Pinterest For Foodies? Pinterest First Acquisition Punchfork Social Curation of Recipes Site Says Yes

Is Pinterest For Foodies? Pinterest First Acquisition Punchfork Social Curation of Recipes Site Says Yes | Startup Revolution | Scoop.it
Pinterest buys social recipe search engine Punchfork.

Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

This purchase by Pinterest is interesting. We can assume Pinterest has amazing metrics on what really works on its content network. Does it buy a celebrity gossip rag or art magazine? No, it confirms one of my reactions to Pinterest - Pinterest is a foodie's dream.

Another thing I like about this purchase is the statement it makes about the importance of platform curation and curation in general. He who creates the place where conversations are had and mashed up wins. Here was my take on the death of websites and the rise of platforms from more than a year ago:

Platforms vs. Websites

Yummy Yummy !

Great deal

I had just started a Pinterest board of my favorite recipes from marmiton.org, France's best social recipe sharing site. The way Punchfork sends traffic to cooking blogs and other sources is that it publishes the picture and the ingredients but you have to go to the source to read the recipe

I have 2 account in Fcaebook...how can I add the APp on my personal page ? It goes always in the wrong page!

Gaia, Woobox works only on your FB Pages, NOT on your FB profile. That's the reason why you can't get it to do what you want. It doesn't do that. :-)
