I like to use social engineering when I need to reach top bloggers, and sometimes lie... "I'm facing a crisis, give me some advice... blah blah" Then 5 months later, tell them "Thanks so much for your life changing advice, it inspired me to

I fall into the same trap. It's an addiction to perfection.

Most people have the mentality the ENTIRE product should be built with $5000, let alone a prototype. Of course, this probably doesn't matter to you since you'll get 2-3 ppl who understand the economics and time involved, and you won't get o

There's many things to do pre-launch. For a consumer product, they can include: 1) Starting a blog and establishing yourself as an expert. At the very least, at least get some content out there for search engines to crawl. 2) Establishing y

Yeah, but I'm talking about something more general and less hacker nature. More like a dating/social thing than an expertise request. HNOfficehours seems more very rigid. Some people just want to meet new people, and make a potential friend

Office/Lunch Hours Have everyone make a profile with their "open hours" where they're free to have lunch or meet up with someone who wants to discuss things of interest with. Don't make it formal, just make it so that people can see what ti

I totally agree. The best case scenario is to make a product that is useful for 1 user, but becomes even more useful as more and more users use it. The best example is FourSquare. You can check in, and earn badges, but as you tell more and

Writers think it's the writing that makes a startup successful. Engineers think it's the good, well-organized, efficient code. Salespeople think it's their clever, shrewd selling strategy. Management think it's their leadership.

They're definitely not more important. The actual stakeholders come first b/c they were the ones who took on the most risk. Second came the employees who took a job for a company that might not even have existed in a year. Third came the so

They dun even need to do anything except put a link to their new service on their main domain and it already gives them an instant boost. Which they already do for 99% of all their related services.

No need for proof, just intuition. Think about it: they can create any new website and instantly give it good Pagerank/TrustRank/whatever by internally linking to it from the Google.com domain. They dun even need to manually boost it.

This isn't really a startup acquision - more like a talent acquisition. Google can easily create a similar service, and since they are the gatekeeper, they could just pump their site in front of everyone else in the rankings (like they do w

Between 9K - 13K a month from affiliate commissions (CJ) promoting diet programs, and web hosts. 50% is from a network of sites. 50% is from a vastly successful Adwords campaign.

What's Octopart's backup strategy if Google somehow punishes their site in their next algorithm change (ala so many other innocent sites during the Panda Update)? I bet 80% of the traffic comes from search engines. If those 80% leave, it's

Noone will care in 1 week. Billions of ppl will continue to use Facebook, and 90% of them will not even know about this news. Nothing to see here, just tech boys making a huge commotion over very little

The social graph isn't what's important. The platform is what is.

I'm not suprised TheLadders scrapes results from other sites. Otherwise their database would be almost empty. Hardly can you find an employer willing to disclose salary and say this job is paying 100K and more.

I think the author has the "grass is greener on the other side" mentality. Guess what? Those white kids who slacked off at high school, and didn't care about getting the A+? Those kids also have issues in life - instead of wondering why the

Life is too short to spend any enormous amt of time on an OSS project. Invest your skills into your own business, and reap the rewards of it.

An extra 6 months won't kill you at all. Plus, I think finding a technical co-founder, or CTO will take longer than expected. Those 6 months are pretty much a sure bet if you devote enough time to learning, and you'll have the skills to do

Just curious, do you think this same strategy could work for finding someone to date? Cold emailing asking for a cup of coffee? Do I need to sneak in a hidden agenda?

Is it possible that the Google Panda Update may have contributed to it as well? If people want good content, I can't imagine a bad design would deter 50% of users... even Craigslist is horribly designed

The message from this article seems a little flawed. Your stock price doesn't go up because you pampered Wall Street analysts, treated them nicely, etc. Your price goes up when you earn billions of dollars more than people expected. It's al

I agree. Fooling yourself to work is something you may need to do temporarily, but if you need to do this on a consistent basis, maybe you need to reevaluate your life, and make a change. Life shouldn't be about forcing yourself to do thing

Do it yourself. Write a personal email, tell them your story, and give them a serious (but below your max) offer. If you can find the name of the owner, do some research about him/her, and see if you can find some commonalities just to get

I'm with StackOverflow on this one. If I was then, I wouldn't waste my time fine tuning the detection, and just block all of Amazon ECS.

While salary is certainly important, I can't help but think that it's wiser to work harder on yourself than on your job. In the end, the stress/time that you spend worrying about salary increases and getting underpaid should be spent improv
