I read your about page and it looks like you would be privy to such a solution but I still think people really value branding, deliverables and personal training because of risk-aversion. If the idea is so simple, that's perfect. You coul

The reason I was asking was to see if there are any unique sites or online communities you could target yourself, but I'm still not sure which ones those would be. That type of advertisement costs money as well, but maybe there would be a h

Hey Samir, what do you mean by balloon distribution business? Like big balloons that go on top of retail buildings, those get well balloons or just regular sized balloons.

Pawn, don't be a pawn! The only way I could justify him giving you 20% is if he has customers secured . Secured means money in the bank account and not verbal commitments. And I'm not sure I understand him saying he has more risks. Is he p

Man, that's great. I'm guessing the big clients would be news organizations. I would aggressive argue that this should be on their homepage as their updated news feed and then have the timeline move by the hour.

Thanks, I'm going to resubmit the question in a different way because the new news feed is being flooded with pop tech news.

market penetration strategies can be more important than market size. for example, a smaller market with better acquisition strategies could be better than a larger market with nebulous or not unique acquisition strategies.

why not just put a tag in place of the up arrow that says (Job) or (Job Ad). That's more intuitive to me (I'm new to HN).

It's not a video contest. It could be just like the YC application videos and the people at CodeYourIdea can screen it to make sure it's just a webcam and nothing car salesmanish. I don't know about other people, but I would appreciate an i

As ridiculous as this sounds, because I'm human. I like to see the face of the lady that makes my coffee and I like to see the face other people as well. I like to see a name on the bottom of emails instead of just the company's. I prefer t

Plus if there is an exchange of at least $2,000 dollars I would like to at least see your face.

As in racial discrimination? Yeah, I'm sure it will for some. But it's still really useful. For example, I'm sure the videos play a big role in YC applications, although probably not as a first criteria. Plus it's not like the developers wo

You know, having coders or designers submit 30 second videos describing their skills and previous projects is an easy way to differentiate from other freelancing sites. Let non-paying visiters to the site see that as well. I would feel like

Makes me feel better about staying in Austin as opposed to moving to California. I know there is less talent and risk capital here but UT-Austin is a big school with some great talent. For example, there's a bunch of honors program students

I would focus on trying to figure out a way to translate all of those "Happy B-Day" posts on facebook into people giving $1 towards a gift and making that process as seamless as possible. Then I'd call it something like GiftMePlease.com. Th

Congrats on launching. From a non-hacker currently learning rails and with a new found respect for developers, respect. My thing is I'm afraid to log-on, especially with my twitter account. For example, I would never type the 3rd to-do item
