- lincolnq 17y agoHmm. I think your comment sets a bad tone for the discussion, especially as the top-rated comment. While I wouldn't want to back many of these startups as they're written, I think some of them have potential to be grown into a viable business idea, and dismissing them all in one shot just biases the whole thread negatively. I guess I'd just rather read constructive posts first.
- jpwagner 17y agoBest way to get easy karma: say hey-thats-not-fair to the cynical posts (regardless of hilarity.)
- lincolnq 17y agoI don't think karma is deserved for either of our posts. They both add to the noise. But I'm trying to reduce the overall noise (in a way which has more impact than downvoting) and you're increasing it. (voters: all the posts in this thread should be at 0 or 1 and at the bottom -- please make it so)

- dkokelley 17y agoI would like to think of this document as more of a brainstorming session than polished startup pitches. Throw everything out there and see what sticks. Some people might find a gem from part of an idea, and tweak it to make it viable, even though the rest of the idea is garbage.
- ntoshev 17y agoPainful? I read only the ones that interest me (quickly judged from elevator pitches) and it's exciting!
