		<description>I&#039;m tired of hearing feedback about issues within the gay community in Portland when most of those being asked to comment are the typical white privileged queers. Q Patrol and Q Center and Q Anything is a real setback for all queer people. They don&#039;t challenge the current community that is more concerned with horrendous and offensive drag or dance nights centered around the consumption of alcohol and attitude. I moved to Portland expecting something revolutionary but all i&#039;ve come across is racism, sexism, elitism, and self-aggrandizing posers. blah blah blah........</description>

In my view, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you probably did, the net will likely be a lot more useful than ever before.</description>

		<description>Definitely consider that which you said. Your favorite reason seemed to be on the net the easiest factor to keep in mind of. I say to you, I certainly get annoyed whilst folks think about worries that they plainly do not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined out the whole thing with no need side effect , other people could take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thank you</description>

		<description>There is a fine art to capturing potentially valuable negative feedback and still maintaining control over your product. What you want to do is focus on the giver of the feedback. Talk about what made them feel this way, figure out exactly what their experience was and probe to see if they have had any earlier positive experiences that they could relate. Whenever the discussion veers towards what *you* should do, steer it back to the person giving feedback. Remember, it&#039;s neither the right or the burden of someone else to actually decide what your course should be. Feedback is great, but you have to decide what to make of it.</description>

What you want to do is focus on the giver of the feedback. Talk about what made them feel this way, figure out exactly what their experience was and probe to see if they have had any earlier positive experiences that they could relate. Whenever the discussion veers towards what *you* should do, steer it back to the person giving feedback. Remember, it&#8217;s neither the right or the burden of someone else to actually decide what your course should be. Feedback is great, but you have to decide what to make of it.</p>

		<description>I agree , especially in networking part . All people we have met for the last 6 months we got to know them in events( most of them with AaltoES ). &lt;br&gt;Get some business cards with you and never miss an opportunity , sometime just by asking questions to the panel someone will likely come to you and introduce himself.</description>

		<description>&quot;I don’t care about your age, if you’re a guy or a girl, if you’re a local or a foreigner. I don’t care which school you are from&quot; . As a foreigner studying outside Aalto University this made my day. Thanks for everyone who made it possible to people from AMK to be able to join in and keep it open for everyone !</description>

		<description>And were still just seeing the tip of the iceberg... I&#039;ve been involved for 4 years now in spreading the spirit of enterprise among my peers (students) and am now looking at the next generation of kids comming in to school.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I&#039;ve got to tell you, if you keep pounding that drum the whole jungle will come. That drum that we hear in the distance is now on our doorstep loud and clear. While we are looking back at this, the next generation is emerged into it which will undoutable be something even better. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So as we&#039;ve all discovered it doesn&#039;t need millions to make the greatest encyclopedia in the world, the world of communications can altered by devices from a former rubber boot factory and enthusiastic positive people can make a change in the future of Finland and entrepreneurship - and they have all ready.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So thank you&#039;s go out to all the people involved in the efforts mentioned and the ones made by everyone in the &quot;community&quot; for their sweat equity - the magic potion of all entrepreneurially minded.</description>

		<description>Ramine, thank you for the important reminder of the progress of the Finnish startup ecosystem during the last few years! Having my background in the &#039;established&#039; software business in Finland (and in the Nordics), and now the last year and a half that I’ve been part of the Finnish startup scene – I must say that I’ve experienced the spirit of the latter overwhelmingly positive, full of enthusiasm, and innovation.  This has been a very interesting step from one environment to another, very happy that I’ve taken it. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The Finnish startup ecosystem – with figures like you, Ramine, and Antti Vilpponen, Ville Vesterinen, Antti Akonniemi, Taneli Tikka, to name a few that I have personally met during my first steps here – has a welcoming, open attitude that strengthens and speeds up this positive progress . &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Keep up the great work!  Curiosity always kills the ‘can’t’!</description>

		<description>Could not agree with you more on this Ramine!  it is extremely important for us to realize that some things are massively better today than 5 years ago.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Also to realize that the vast majority of countries out there would be thrilled to be where Finland is today.  Are there challenges? Yes, definitely. But the direction is positive, and the level is strong.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It is also critical to realize that any one of us, no matter how active we are, only observes some fraction of the activity in the ecosystem, and it is dangerous to draw deep conclusions about the ecosystem as whole without understanding that fact. It can lead to some crazy policy mistakes.  Just got back from 7th trip to Israel (dating back to 1997) where I was again reminded of this by some real pro&#039;s.  Will post something on this when I get a chance (and some sleep :).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thanks again for this post!</description>

		<description>Ramine, thank you for the important reminder of the progress of the Finnish startup ecosystem during the last few years! Having my background in the &#039;established&#039; software business in Finland (and in the Nordics), and now the last year and a half that I’ve been part of the Finnish startup scene – I must say that I’ve experienced the spirit of the latter overwhelmingly positive, full of enthusiasm, and innovation.  This has been a very interesting step from one environment to another, very happy that I’ve taken it. 

The Finnish startup ecosystem – with figures like you, Ramine, and Antti Vilpponen, Ville Vesterinen, Antti Akonniemi, Taneli Tikka, to name a few that I have personally met during my first steps here – has a welcoming, open attitude that strengthens and speeds up this positive progress . 

Keep up the great work!  Curiosity always kills the ‘can’t’!
