Venture Captial Talks Tomorrow, RSS Feeds, and Blogs - 04/03/08

This brings to mind one of Aaron's own complaints back in Chapter One, I believe (don't quote me).  About how Google's feedback and submit your idea sheets requested less information concerning your idea than a fast food chain asked about how you liked their burgers.

Would you like fries with that?  o.O

[Aaron Stanton]

It was Jack in the Box.  The Google Biz. Dev. forms asked for less information about you than the Jack in the Box feedback forms. 

[Joseph]

Thats because once you send the form they just look up your name or ip address and compare it to their massive database of personal information and they learn the rest of what they need to know. 

[Jo Red]

That's because that's really all the information they look at when they skim over all the possible ideas. They look at things as high level at that stage, if they are interested, then they want to learn more so that's when they contact you.
