I'm not sure how many people here are "domainers" but this could very well end up being a nuclear bomb dropped on the web domain industry. I honestly can't think of all the implications of how this might change how people interact with the

My web games portal http://fstr.net earns about $5 per month. I put in a couple of hours a week looking through the games list and picking a few to become 'features' If I put hours in I can do better - If I submit links to gaming sites i

As a tangent to the article itself, is "THENEXTWEB" a scraper site or content farm? Who the hell ends an article with this sentence? If a multi-billion dollar company like Sony can have the Do they not have editors? Do they not c

Your discussion of "Tribe Signalling" is interesting. It reminds me of all the stuff that Desmond Morris was talking about in "the Human Animal" (and more recently http://www.exactitudes.com/ ). By wearing certain clothes you're sending

Look at me and my Ethnocentricity! How true that there are other cultures where these services are still trying to get traction and expose's like this one can have an actual impact. Thanks for pointing that out :)

Honestly, I'm shocked my the downvotes being levied against all of these "who cares" type posts. How much face is really being lost by Facebook? The audience of Facebook users that will read about the "negative PR campaign" will be infan

What's the TV license at now? 180 pounds or ~275 US? If it came with access to iPlayer, 4oD & iTVoD I'd probably be willing to pay for a UK TV license. (I'm in Canada)

While I agree that it does come across as very biased, I think it might be a valid and valuable evaluation of some of node's current areas of weakness. Maybe rather than taking it as flame-bait & starting a holy war over it, we could ta

Funny thing, my Father used to own a travel agency. This is exactly the sort of thing that travel agents were paid to know AND search for. Before the rise of all the internet discount travel sites, travel agents earned their keep by doing

I strongly disagree with this. I think the author is projecting his worldview onto Stack. Just like virtually everything else in education, you only get out what you put in. If you use it in a lazy way, then it makes you lazy but if you cod

Is it really necessary? Early disclosure of the results is against the law for a number of reasons. Why not just respect our democratic process?

I just logged in to say the same thing. You should be charging the asker 30% more - so the answerer might "see" get $35 but the asker is actually paying $50. Subtle difference ... but it's how I feel about it. EDIT I've also got a real
