We love optimism. We especially love it when start ups that aren’t making money get bought by big companies with deep pockets that want to be something else. We like it when we hear stories like Dopplr being acquired by Nokia because it keeps the dream alive, the dream of creating a business that people like but doesn’t make any money. Beautiful. I keep thinking of Laura on the Little House on the Prairie and wondering what Pa would say if she came home from school one day and pitched him her idea of a social networking site where kids out on the prairie could have a place to talk about all their chores and trips they would take together in the covered wagon. My, we’ve come a long way. – JLH
