The embedded YouTube videos are perfectly fine because YouTube makes embedding smart and easy, and their method of embedding is light in its resource demands. However, the additional videos that you have embedded from other hosting platforms like Videopress and Vimeo are resource hogs, and they are causing this page either to take MINUTES to load or to cause the browser (Firefox, Chrome, others) to crash in memory. Instead, please provide links to these videos that launch in a new page or in unique viewer. Alternatively, you could also use a plugin to create a video gallery or unique player in WordPress. The previous, recommended solution (link to video and open in new page or window), though, is easier and quicker to implement. Please note that this problem was addressed to you in the comments by someone else almost 2 years ago and has obviously either not merited the attention it deserves or has simply not been corrected for reasons unknown.

Reply Hi steve, your HBR paper was great and recently I stumbled upon your MOOC at udacity on ” how to build a startup”. Abour 90 MBA students are taking this MOOC at Alliance University, Bangalore, India which is presently midway. There is a request from here. Can you come on a live skype session with these youngsters from Bangalore India, talk to them and clear their doubts at a convenient time in the next two weeks ? It will def give a great thrust for the lean startup ecosystem in India. Thanks, regards, George.. Douglas Chew , on February 27, 2016 at 7:32 am said: STEVE BLANK FOR PRESIDENT!
