While leaving Manhattan on the Long Island Rail Road last week, I overhead an “entrepreneurial conversation” between two guys (college-aged) looking to earn extra cash.

- @stevegerencser At your table I'm humble. I respect advice from others that have knowledge and experience. Age shouldn't be such a factor.
- I've made grown men twice my age feel like they're sitting at the kiddie table.
- @ChrisHaddon Didn't know you were on Twitter. Change that avatar!
- Backing those links with KY? RT @lordofseo Link building campaign for 'dry vagina' this should be fun
