Ben Horowitz writes about the dangers of following a super-successful startup with an immediate next swing-of-the-bat. Signs of impending failure include premature focus on monetization, fixing or avoiding mistakes from the last company, and dismissing the details. He calls this Second Startup Syndrome.

But my favorite observation of Ben's is the presence of founder anxiety as evidence of fighting the good fight. Nice pattern recognition. Both Ben and Marc are so good at recognizing, labeling and expositing patterns (Which is why I'd hire either one of them as a product manager any day).

However, I am baffled as to why Ben's blog requires Flash just to display headlines and section headers. What is up with that? Among other problems, it discourages sharing, since one cannot right-click to copy a link in order to paste into twitter, email, facebook, etc.

You don't even need html5 for that!
