DISQUS

Nitpick: the tunnel is made of concrete, not PVC

Isn't this the same with any "reviews" site? Doesn't Yelp have the same credibility and authority deficit?

I am not saying The Funded is the end-all, but it seems like the point is for budding entrepreneurs to have a relatively safe place to help each other interact with a very secretive and intimidating market. Part of that is done through relative anonymity (i.e. your email is not stored with your login). Once you have "certified" users you have taken that away.

Google is getting FAST. I found this searching for information about the author element in RSS 2.0.

I am working on an application (statzen.com) that publishes feeds for many different blogs and am planning to provide support for the <comments> element.

On a somewhat related note, it seems that in order for the author element to be valid, it must expose an email address to spammers. What if that author element had an alternate syntax that allowed a URL to a contact form i.e.:

<author>http://example.com/contact (author name)</author>

So, do I include the donation when I send in the Executive Summary, or do I wait until we get to term sheet signing?
