I used to like DS but it is a cliquishe chat room full of emos and losers mostly. It is ok for some of the people to act like 2 year olds and others get in trouble for doing nothing wrong. It is just like high school. Doug sold out when he should have, it is sliding down its own slime into the gutter and a better one will evolve from the cyberspace that actually has some ethics. The fact that HSW owns it makes me want to throw up a little, hey I bet they have a group for that in there… along with 9990 other stupid and useless groups. What a waste of time….. but hey some people are amused watching the dukes of hazzard and americas next modle… geeze no wonder we are in trouble

!. Most of the people who make up the media these day are internet savvy (came out of a tech/programming background) and because of their familiarity and skill with the technology have figure out how to use it to”communicate” with the rest of us. They are very comfortable with technology based companies and notice a good percentage of them are based in the silcon valley.

2. Nobody ever pay attention to small businesses that make up a goo 80+% of our economy and consequently our overall market.

3. There are a lot of entrepreneurs who start businesses to earn a livelihood and perhaps provide jobs for others to earns a livelihood and never contemplate an exit strategy or failure for that matter.

Your thoughts?

I think in the current economic downturn everything that generates income becomes “unattractive/sexy” .

An anecdote: I heard recently that as much as a full fifth of the economy will be driven by the health care industry by 2015. Silicon Valley has no idea. Shhh, don’t tell…

So my question is, what will be the Silicon Valley of the health care industry? Or will there not be a parallel, since health care is ubiquitous and everyone needs it?

Call me a cynic but from the techcrunch link it appears that $5-$7 million of capital was invested, and it returned only $3.13 million. This is not a success. To be fair, that drop in value is the same as the broader equity market, but the goal of startups is to create true value (touche to Boris for pointing this out).

Daily Strength is by far the best site in this niche. biggest, strongest…
I do understand that Doug is your friend and from what i hear he is one champion! but how can a $3.1M (or even a $6.6M if they meet their goals) can be described as a success?? they raised $7M two years ago….
????

as i said I am a big fan of DS but the deal does sound like what techcrunch wrote….
