It looks like their twitter account is active and responsive: http://twitter.com/#!/iWantMyName -- I see you're also on twitter; try reaching them through that.

Well-explained service. http://tarpipe.com/ is a similar tool that's been around for a while; I think the HN crowd will like the fine-grain detail of it more. And it works with a much larger number of services.

This has the potential to be a good series, and a pretty nice tool for recruitment.

It doesn't produce an emotional response from me, and it doesn't give me any idea of what you are / what you're offering. My best guess based on the slogan would be that you're some kind of prototyping site or crafting site. I'm not seeing

This is an interesting article, it's unfortunate that the HN submission has been titled with the least interesting fact from it.

I'd advise keeping things in context. Milestones and obstacles both seem monumental up close, but if you can keep fixed in your mind the larger context they exist in, you'll have an easier time staying steady. No matter what happens today,

SearchYC has been an invaluable tool for me. It's easily tripled the value I've gotten from Hacker News. Thank you for all your work on it.

Definitely depends on the topic. Typically I search for a forum dedicated to the subject. The forum's search will be great for finding generations of people asking how to do the same things you're now wondering about. And forums provide a l

But don't you think that's kind of shitty? "in line with what most of the rest of the industry does" doesn't make it any better of a metric.

I've found Quora to be great for non-tech topics. Human relationships, cooking, pop culture, lifestyle topics are all active on Quora and contain good content.

Most of the lowercase brand names you mentioned are only lowercase in their logo. Facebook, MSN, Amazon, Twitter, and Hulu all use a capitalized name on their own site when written in non-graphical text. It's all about what image you want t

I'm not Derek, but as a remote-working team member for a business that has many other remote-working team members, this is a similar problem I've been trying to solve by encouraging use of a private twitter-like network through Status.net (

Something about the typography on your site just makes my eyes glaze over. Line-spacing, maybe? I think that's it. Too much line-height, not enough space between paragraphs. Try: .entry p { color: black; line-height: 140%; margin-bot

Bettween.com is good for this sort of thing, and looks like it does a better job of threading which tweets others are in reply to than NearMetter is doing. http://bettween.com/ioerror/zedshaw

Go to wherever most other people are creating startups. "Where" does matter. Having a community of peers to learn from, a talent pool to recruit from, and a local community to gain initial users from is essential. Go to or start a meetup

I think you're suffering from confirmation bias. Certainly there's a lot of repeating content, but there's tons of new stuff on HN constantly. An unfortunate habit I once noticed in myself was skipping over articles whose titles I didn't un

And this was the main problem for us. Drupal's internals were a mess of multi-layered abstraction and unclear organization. Wordpress's core code has some frustrating choices in it, but even I as primarily a non-developer have been able to

The single best improvement you could make right now is to ban a user based on IP if they exceed a certain amount of downvotes over a period of time. That would at least fix the spam problem.

I'd pay $20 / month for it. More (up to $50) if I felt it improved my efficiency enough that I'm continually saving hours of time by using it compared to another service. How many people subscribe to hundreds of feeds I don't know, but any

I reluctantly switched from Bloglines to Google Reader a year or so ago when it became clear they weren't improving their product any further. Unfortunately, I've been just as frustrated with Google's lack of innovation. And it seems like t
