[ Inside Look: Mashable's Pete Cashmore ] Traits of Today’s Youth Ruling the Entrepreneurial Scene
Throughout history, youth culture put idols in the forefront, shaping and leading much of our consumerism. In the 70′s we worshipped the punks and glam rock, 80′s saw the rise of disco and pop sensations, 90′s idolized grunge and boy/girl pop groups, the millennium turned the spotlight on ourselves through the introduction of reality stars and social media, and now the dream of today is the tech start-up focused on change. They are here to utilize technology and social media platforms to empower individuals and direct their penchant for self-expression towards creating a better world.

Starting a Startup, Creativity Not Required
Now, before I begin, I want to clarify that this is not one of those posts that will justify ideas of creating a Twitter meets Turntable.fm minus Tumblr for Toddlers application. I’m also not knocking on people who are naturally creative, but I believe that there is a common misconception that entrepreneurs need to create something that ‘has never been done before’.

I stumbled across a sublime keyword tool the other day perfectly suited to identifying the approach your competition has taken. Continue Reading
