Twitter Never Fails To Fail

August 9, 2015

For those familiar with Bethany McLean's The Smartest Guys In The Room, the forthcoming comparison will make sense; for those unfamiliar with her book, regarding Enron's executive leadership, the following analogy may fall on deaf ears. In any case, allow me to preface all further Enron remarks by first decrying the company's actions. While its employees were, for the most part, incredibly intelligent, Enron epitomizes all that was, and still is, wrong with corporate America.

July 1, 2015

In the world of venture capitalism, funding comparisons are often drawn between startups and more “mature," publically traded companies. Interestingly enough, in one of the most prevalent comparisons, Facebook (FB), which is possibly the most controversial startup to date, now represents the standard for “old” tech companies.

Exclusively For Party Animals

June 10, 2015

Are you afraid of posting memorable life events on social media because your employer might see the actual craziness that occupies every second of your world (outside the office)?

The Battle For Ride-Sharing Supremacy

May 27, 2015

The battle of relevant ride-sharing companies has dwindled down to two fierce rivals: Uber and Lyft.
