   I agree with you on the collaborative part. Add in a "deviantart" component, and you got a killer product for designers.

   Coding is great, but what about exposing them to some hard, meaningful problems while we're at it as well? Otherwise, we're just gonna get 10 times more photo sharing apps in the future.

   I find it also depends on what profession you're in. It's tough to be content if you're a programmer and a non-entrepreneur vs being a teacher/non-entrepreneur, or social network, or nurse.

   to be fair, I don't think it's fair to judge their business plan from this blog post, but their attitude towards potential hires is pretty arrogant

   1) Create Google alerts for relevant keywords and if it's a blogger, leave an useful comment with a link to your blog at the end. 2) Create Twitter searches to find people with the problem your product solves, and tweet them your solution.

   I'm sort of skeptical that this can make me a better programmer. Drilling syntax will make me memorize the language, but it won't make me code better in that language. For that, you need to work on a system/project, and make mistakes. It's

    Facebook has something MySpace never had: an ecosystem. With Facebook Connect, a place to receive invites, a central place for contacts, albums, etc, a developer program, brand/fan pages, etc. it's hard to see them going away for a long lon

    How are they scammy? The affiliates want to make money, the networks want to make money.. sure some of the affiliates try shady techniques, but the affiliate network themselves are not scams - they do give prizes and reward top performers.

    Moral of story: don't target techies as your end users. They'll just look under your hood to make sure you're not doing anything embarassing like this, and passing back clear-text password in JSON.

    For crying out loud, no more changing stuff! We already enough to worry about with supporting Facebook Connect, rendering for iPad, iPhone, Android, BlackBerry, Windows Phone, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera, IE7,8,9, HTML5, etc.

    Just curious, what huge technical problems do you face? You're not dealing with big health data, nor are you analyzing health trends, nor do you have mobile apps.. you're just a blog/content site (albeit one visited by many ppl), so just wo

    This is similar to what MoreNiche is doing, and other affiliate networks. They have competitions and award prizes like iPods, and game consoles to top 5 or top 10 people with the most affiliate revenue. The hard part is actually getting tho

    More barriers to entry. You need to wait longer in order to rank, so it's better to get started asap with some content instead of waiting until everything is perfect.

    I never understood the appeal of doing a local online startup. The conversion rates are not much bigger in local, and your visitors are scattered all across the USA. So suppose you got a 1% conversion rate, and 1 million uniques. That's pre

    I see so many consumer startups brag about vanity metrics. If you're a consumer startup doing something that's not mobile-focused, the # of unique visitors you're getting per month as viewed in Quantcast or Compete just tells the complete s

    Hindrance or not, it adds an extra layer of friction in the quest of getting users, getting PR, getting attention, etc since people have been used to seeing most things already. And it's not about creativity, it's about making something to

    I agree with #1. Perhaps the better strategy is to create a blogging platform for 1 niche. Such as blogs for teachers, or blogs for weight loss.

    Yeah, and if it's a free product, you can usually tell who is your target user by the feedback he/she is giving. The hardcore users who would love to use it will be writing an essay filled with recommendations on how to improve it, while th

    They had to worry about IE initially.. then when they made it big, they had the money/time/resources to focus on branching out. Today, to make it big you have to worry about a lot more platforms.. and that's only to get started. Sux!
