I think we don't need anyone to show us numbers or stats that Google+ is not gaining traction. We already know that, just compare your Facebook usage vs G+ usage. Compare the # of friends who talk about Facebook vs. G+. Compare the # of non

This is awesome. Link this to an easy way for restaurant goers to sign up for a mailing list, and I think restaurant owners will sign up for this kinda service. Great great idea that actually solves a problem. Let me know if you need any he

Everyday, that % is going up... not always because we're discovering new ones everyday, but because everyday 300 species die off because of the destruction we cause.

Why does he even need a job? Didn't SlashDot earn him enough to live on for rest of his life?

They got off too easy. It's easily billions they earned through this methods. Facebook is the same story. Many of their ad dollars are from scams, and shady schemes, not legitimate businesses. I mean... spending advertising dollars to adver

It's the online gambling part that's the hugest hurdle. After that it's the business deals. And you're conceding you're gonna do it in a narrow niche. Add those three together, and you got a business model that's not worth doing. "Cool" ide

I tend to agree. Hipmunk has a hip name, and is trying to create a brand for themselves, but it's hard to use word of mouth to market a flight search engine... it's like trying to use viral marketing to market a detergent. It's hard to comp

1 million searches is OK but Compete shows them at 200K visitors/month: http://siteanalytics.compete.com/hipmunk.com/ and surprisingly, it shows they had MORE visits a year ago than they do around this time... so where's the growth? it se

I feel most people just aren't emotionally intelligent enough to know how to talk to a depressed person. When they talk to a depressed person, part of them is still thinking about their own lives, what they would do, prior experiences, etc.

I'm a Problem Solver, but have some traits of an Inventor. I believe in being pragmatic, but also realize if you make the process dry + boring, it's not a good recipe for productivity, which is essential in solving problems. People say you

I hope they can do an IPO, and short it, along with Demand Media. You gotta invest in what you know.

In your logo, I think the shit needs to be bit more explicit. It just looks like cream or something.

I hope they don't change the visual proportions.. I think I got 44 hard-coded in 100 different places in my apps, and this includes stuff like custom buttons and images.

Doing stuff by yourself whether it's a startup, consulting, side projects are is very lonely. There's a lot of insecurity you will face, and the sad thing is there will be very little people to commiserate with, unlike the corporate world.

I don't think it's gonna work because this isn't a site that will garner much loyalty. Students will eventually graduate, plus buying textbooks is seasonal. He's just gonna do a lot of manual work for one-time sales. It's not gonna improve

Wait a minute, I got a question I hope people can clear up for me... because I see a huge elephant in the room. So they're saying if you have a H1-B visa, you can work for your own company full-time. But.. umm.. if you have a H1-B visa, tha

It's nice that LinkedIn has a great process: regression testing and the like, but what if you work in an environment where you can't afford to test every single little thing, and where business models, let alone requirements change constant

I know many of these students are just slackers outside of the classroom. They remind me of employees who put in a lot of face time, but don't produce extraordinary results. I wonder how it must feel to go through all that hard work, then g

If you use GitHub, EngineYard is pretty easy and smooth to use as well. Just git push, then redeploy. The only pain is creating custom recipes for stuff they don't support. But I do like the ability to SSH. I can go in, run scripts, delete

I can't speak for others, but I do want a co-founder. But 1 of 3 things happen: 1) The person I really really want to be my co-founder is working on his own gig, and can't join me, and I can't join them. 2) They're not the entrepreneurial t

Good news for consumers. Horrible news for developers. OK.. let's see, we gotta make an iPhone app, an Android app, a web app, one for the Blackberry, maybe one for Windows Phone, and ooh.. a Facebook app! Now a Chrome app..

Are there any stats available that show the historic performance of YC or TechStars funded companies? I know YC has hit a number of homeruns in Heroku, and AirBnb, but what is their success rate? 10% 5%?

But don't they need to grow to justify that valuation? A mailing list is a depreciating asset. You can milk it year after year, but the number of subscribers who buy a Groupon will decrease.
