The fever of startup plans is everywhere, as proven by a controversial article from money.CNN entitled “How to build a Bulletproof startup” ; a pretty scary article, if you ask me, assembling plenty of todays common knowledge and infos on BIG IDEAS, Team, Angels, VCs, etc. Useful info for the noobies, but lousy info for the people knowing more on the subject than the average Joe. Because what they try to teach is nothing more than how to build a Internet Bubble 1.0 startup, exactly the kind of startup you woudln’t want to build.
More comments on the subject over the 37signals blog, in a post called How to shoot a bullet through your startup. Nice and insightful.

PS. as an american from the entrepreneurship conference I assisted 2 weeks ago said: when the taxi driver gives you real-estate tips, you should jump of the boat or at least not jump in; in my paraphrase, if cnn starts giving tips on successful startups, the boat is close to sinking. Who knows?
