How can you prevent online sex predators from signing up on facebook? How can you prevent Joe and Joe Inc from calling Mary Smith? I think the best thing to do is raise awareness and make sure that people know the risks of putting their information online.

I just spent a few days at Red Herring's ETRE summit, and your post perfectly reflects the overall sentiment I took away from that event. Despite the economic downturn, there was a *lot* of optimism among from VCs and founders alike. Why? New opportunities, and fascinating challenges. It's a goldmine for those who can get it right and stick it out... so here's to seeing you on the other side! Cheers, Tara Kelly Passpack Founding Partner Excellent.

We were super-pleased that you received a great logo in your project. As you saw, crowdSPRING provides choice and protections (free customized legal agreements, as an example) not available anywhere else. We founded crowdSPRING to provide a way for the small and mid-size businesses who didn't have good options to buy creative, to meet the millions of really talented people around the world who love to create but didn't have an outlet to find clients. At the moment, we have nearly 8,000 talented creatives from 130+ countries working on crowdSPRING and buyers from 32 countries have posted over 1,000 projects. We're big fans of some of the other companies you've mentioned, including 37signals (we use Basecamp for our development). And you are absolutely right - this is a perfect time for people to pursue their dreams. Good luck to all!

Prosper is actually shut down for a quiet period now. : ) It's been a crazy last few weeks for the p2p lending world. LendingClub also opened up a secondary market after approval from the SEC.
