If you're in the market for a powerful and user friendly Help Desk solution, please take a look at my company's flagship product HelpSpot.
I agree with Ryan on this one, there’s way too much emphasis on being a “real” (funded) startup when the smart money with the best chance on a decent return (IMHO) is boot strapping for most web ideas these days.
PS. Yes, I’m back from my apparent hiatus. Hopefully I’ll blow the cobwebs off around here and be posting a little more often.

Nice to have you back - I only came across the blog the other day but i've been compelled to read through every single archive since :s

As much as I enjoy Paul Graham's writing, he is sort of a one trick pony. The only way anyone can make money is the way that *he* made his.
It seems like in his world there are no millionaire laundromat owners.
