Interview Follow-up
Could a thank-you note be the difference between landing or losing a job?
Many job seekers forgo sending one as they fear it may botch a good interview or positive interaction with a potential employer. So, if you decide to send one, should it be written or sent digitally? And what should it say?

Silicon Valley Private Bus Service Gets More VC Funding
In the wake of Uber's rapid growth and swelling market cap, other companies have rushed to rethink aspects of urban transportation. One of them is Chariot, a startup that's offering a new way to survive the daily commute by running 14-passenger vans across San Francisco on five set routes during the morning and afternoon rush. Rides cost between $3 and $5 apiece, and passengers can book from their smartphones and use mobile apps to monitor the location of the vans in real time. And, of course, coming in May, the buses will include onboard Wi-Fi.

Over the years, we've mistakenly believed that anumber of founders have obtained specific college degrees based on their LinkedIn.
