What about putting a cap on the number of users that can register per day? This keeps the community growing but in a controlled fashion.

Gary has always been a little over the top for me, but it works for him and comes off naturally. He deserves all of the fame he gets because he works his ass off. He claims to answer every e-mail. Based on how quickly he's built a following

Nice concept and good implementation. My only suggestion is get rid of the ads. Paid lists will be a huge revenue generator, no need to scare people off with ads. I'd suggest checking out Google Hot Trends ( http://www.google.com/trends/hot

I'm in the same situation. When I need a break I head to the local coffee shop. If that's too loud I'll head to school or the library. Changing scenery often helps keep the juices flowing. I find even moving around the apartment helps. I ha

The double edged sword of Craigslist is that they accept nearly everything. They're good enough for most people, which is why they'll continue to dominate. However there are many vertical niches within classifieds that can still compete wit

I thought the numbers were one of the things that made it fun. Having a low ICQ number showed you were an early adopter, much like having a short URL or twitter name.

Thanks guys. I must have missed that. After I couldn't get SMS working I headed to the FAQ where it said you were still working on it. I think I just need to read a little more carefully :).

I'm actually launching a hosting review site right now (tonight) so it's interesting this came up. I've found this is very much the case across all hosting review sites. I decided to shift focus towards working with hosts (any host) that wa

Awesome idea. Two criticisms, however: You should get a privacy policy up asap. You're collecting and storing a lot of private information, so you should have a policy that dictates your stance. Also, not having SMS support yet is a deal-br

By bloated I mean local newspapers covering national news. When small papers have newsrooms with 60 reporters, and 40% of those reporters cover national news--that's a problem. To see evidence of this go look at your local paper. Mine write

I thought it was confusing how the quiz controls changed after I answered the first question. You should make that consistent. Otherwise nice work.

While rediff may not have a claim on the copyright, they did go through the effort of compiling the quotes. At the very least, link back as a sign of respect for someone else's hard work.

I wish Google Checkout would move into PayPal's market. They've been a monopoly way too long. PayPal has fat margins right now and nobody comes close to beating them. Google is the right company to compete with PayPal. They could implement

I'm all for making reading easier on us by condensing it. But this article takes their (rediff.com) entire post, posts it in full and never gives them credit. Why isn't this plagiarism?

Any site that uses an interstitial on its homepage deserves to be beaten over the head. This breaks usability rules left and right. Hopefully this is just for the launch of the site and not permanent.

I agree with you, but their short-term interests are putting them out of business. Businesses that take a long-term approach are the ones that are winning (Amazon and Toyota spring to mind). Point being I don't think anyone can compete with
