A startup focused on revenue (and profit) is going to get more traction than one that's based on an advertising revenue model.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;He also supported the ideas of starting "micro-startups" like his latest venture, StockTwits, where the cost is so low that you can afford to grow it very slowly through lousy times.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Ben Yoskovitz</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 01 Dec 2008 20:39:00 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
