not really but a good read I never really thought about how many reads and writes there were. However I suspect that twitter profile pages and user pages do not hit the database much and most likely store the data for these pages as xml.

I like the idea but it will just end up with tit for tat down modding. It would only work if the down modders idenity was hidden from the person. I actually think you should get a point for commenting in the first place, this might get more

I dunno, I use plenty of web apps for running my business that are a lot better than anything I have found for the desktop. Also they saved me when I switched to the mac as I didn't need to look for a new version.

if this is asp.net then learn html and mark up the designs. That will free him up more than having to work with your code. I love it when working on a project and someone hands me great xhtml and css and I don't have to think about that sid

Microsoft and I would change its name as soon as I owned it. I would then split it into seperate companies. I think MS is tainted by its past and some people just can't get past that. So if you split the best parts off you could build bette

the Joel Spolsky one is really good to listen to. He has some good advice.

I think web based start ups could be massive in the under-developed world. They don't have the infrastructure as more developed nations. Look at Estonia they have moved most of their infrastructure online and its working well for them(well

1. Yes 2. not sure, fanboyism perhaps 3. can't they already apply to YC? There is also seedcamp over here in the UK/Europe.

I looked at that but you can't really get any feel for audience size from Technorati. If you could mashup a service like compete.com with Technorati then you would no doubt have a powerful tool. I was thinking of hiring someone to get start

good point about the pagerank and could be helpful if you are in a crowded market.

I think a TC post is worth nothing to most startup unless 1. you are targeting thier audience 2. you are after hype to get some VC's interested 3. you are targeting a mainstream audience and hope that other bloggers or mainstream media will

1. its going ok but its just me at the moment and its self funded, I am working 50/50 client work and startup work at the moment. 2. first product very soon, just need to do the final tweak and get some beta testing done to make sure its ea

yeah good point but they are not losing money and I think you will see google do the same thing in a few years once they hit the peak for their products. Yahoo's problem seems to be the management and the fact they are still playing catch u

its a good deal for stockholders I think. If you read the hype Yahoo is not doing to great(which I find hard to believe as they make a load of cash). I think the combined search powers could be really good.

I wonder what this means for itunes? surely they won't drop the support because they would lose a lot of cashflow.

so thats 206% of people? I am confused by those numbers. I personally do it to share cool stuff and engage with people with the same interests as me.

NASCAR need to control their fans, not the first incident where these idoits have caused trouble. They should be banned for life from all circuits. Also is there not laws in the US to make this a punishable offence?, I know in the UK they c

yep it would be fairly simple to do. The problem with this method is IE6 does not support it and if you are doing client work they are not going to like the fact that it does not work on IE6.

I am looking forward to the next release, this one ain't great. MS MVC should go further than rails and will no doubt scale without much hassle. I wish they would just do a standard release of ruby.net in visual studio. yeah there is Ironru
