Mention TWiST and get $100 worth of PPC marketing FREE for every $1,000 you spend on Trada (Max $3,000 spend or $300 bonus). On average, advertisers who start working with Trada reduce their CPA by 10%!00:05:30 Ask Jason - Matthew Hamilton - What are the legal steps I should take to protect my website if I use outside help for reviews and such?00:07:00 Answer - This is very important and you should protect yourself. It is best to be upfront and tell them the deal you are offering. “Work For Hire (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_for_hire)” is the most common form of agreement. If you don’t want to spend a lot of money you can licence their work. This can take place in many forms, one time use or limited by medium whereby they own the words but you own them for using a particular medium such as the Internet or digital. These can also be for a set time frame. At Engadget we started out with Work For Hire and them wanted the writers to be responsible for their words which protected us legally to what they write. Reading contracts are very important for entrepreneurs, you should get comfortable with the words. (http://thisweekin.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/DNAmail-Logo.png)Provides fully hosted / managed Microsoft Exchange and Google Apps e-mail 00:15:30 The Interview00:15:45 How did Reddit start? We can a couple starting points but the day we got into Y Combinator (http://ycombinator.com/) is probably the better story. We were seniors at UVA and had a different idea for a startup (ordering food on cell phones). Paul Graham was giving a talk at Havard about how to start a startup. I was a fan he had written all the essays (http://www.paulgraham.com/articles.html) so we went and met him. We met him and he liked our cell phone idea, a couple days later we emailed him to say thank you. He mentioned that he was creating Y Combinator and that we should apply (2005). We applied and were turned down, we were pissed and on the train ride back home he called and said he liked us but not that idea. We arranged to go back up to Boston and had a brainstorming session that turned into what is now Reddit.00:18:00 Had you guys noticed Digg (http://digg.com) was becoming a hit? No we had no idea that Digg existed.00:18:30 What was the inspiration? Slashdot (http://slashdot.com) and Delicious (http://delicious.com)00:19:15 What made Slashdot work? Most importantly it was the communities.00:20:30 We tried to make Reddit democatic and let the new filter to the top and not curate anything. We tried recommendation engines and they didn’t work and our montra became let the humans do the hard part.00:20:45 The site has always been pretty much the same correct? Yes, we shoot for clean, simple and content heavy. We never used a designer our approach was to make it look a little nicer. Functionality was very important.00:23:05 How did you decide what happens when you click the headline? The discussion definitely came up and we focused on the users and what they would want. We weren’t motivated by page views.00:24:20 Tell me about Y Combinator, you resubmit and Paul says yes, now what? We start bouncing the name around more than the idea. We used stuckdomains (http://stuckdomains.com) which gave us names that were used and now available. Alexis’ (http://twitter.com/kn0thing) side project Breadpig (http://breadpig.com) came from typing “read” into the the site. Jason likes OneLook | 9/10/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Smart host, annoying show
I wanted to like it. I really, really did. But I just tried listening to my 3rd TWIST show. I just don't. Jason is great, has excellent business acumen and vision, and is someone who says things worth listening to, but this show doesn't do it for me. Lacks polish, always starts late, and always starts with banter that is Jasoncentric. It's his show, and while I appreciate his success and interested in his guests, the self stroking gets a little old. There are nuggets of wisdom that I am really interested in, but I just can't get through a full show without being annoyed.
Greatest ideas for startups...PERIOD!
I don't know about Getonthebus, but I'm saying this is hands down the best resource for any entrepreneur out there.
Sure, Jason gets off topic on occasion, but it's his show! Get over it!
The information is priceless. You get to hear insights about everything from how to plan a successful venture, get funding, find help, what will and won't work; and it's all in a "No BS" fashion, which is what we all need.
The guests are great and contribute so much from the 'trenches' of entrepreneurship. Listen to it all, and you'll get plenty of ideas on how to run a solid business. Even if you get just one good idea, isn't it worth what you paid? Oh wait....
Just sit down, shut up, listen, and learn.
Great stuff, lots of actionable information
The thing I love about what Jason has done with the podcast is that it not only throws out lots of information, but it also provides a ton of practical, actionable stuff. If you want to start your own company or just get a better understanding of what separates the great entrepreneurs from everyone else, this is a great place to start (and get a weekly dose of inspiration).
