Excellent advice Lorenzo. Being persistent is definitely a major key to success. Persistence can take days, weeks, months, and even years. Great video! :)

I think it'll be difficult once FriendFeed undergo its complete change. I mean many users are fond of the "FriendFeed" name. I think it would be wise for Facebook to just keep the name and brand and expand upon it with its own technology. :)

Meliza,
Excellent show! As with Twitter, this was coming and it's quite interesting and Twitter was preparing for it. Apple dominates the phone market with their iPhone. Though the Palm Pre is kicking heat against the innovative thinker (Apple). Awesome work! Meliza, I'm looking forward to finally meeting you and the Vator Team next month. ;)

Hey Meliza!
Very great show! This is virtually where the world is going to. In times of stress and recession, it is innovation and new startups that reels in the full-time consumers, creating more opportunities. :)

Hey Meliza,
Thank you for showing this to me. I'm wondering how will social sites like Facebook will be able to play into the demographics in China? Especially since the country has over 3 billion people?
I watched Siri CTO Tom Gruber sharing his insight for entrepreneurs and I must say that he is right on the money. I love it when you guys do entrepreneur interviews as it always gives me a better perspective on things. Keep it up! :D
