   Don't take responsibility for content people create on your site, or you open yourself up to legal liability for it. Most services like posterous, twitter, Wordpress.com etc. prohibit users posting defamatory or harassing material, giving y

   I'd agree with the first, but why the second? As I mentioned in another thread, nothing I've seen suggests that fares are a barrier to use of the bus or subway. With the MBTA, subway rides are $2, bus rides are $1.50, and a week-long pass f

   Nothing I've seen suggests that fares are a barrier to use of the bus or subway. With the MBTA, subway rides are $2, bus rides are $1.50, and a week-long pass for unlimited use of both is $15. Even New York's $89/month for unlimited use of

   I try to keep it in mind as we develop, it's especially important for us because our target market is not at all web savvy (and them not having to be so to use our service is one of our big selling points). Right now we're very focused on g

    There's an excellent comparison of all the big virtual server services, with Linode recommended as a clear winner on almost all of the benchmarks (as always, YMMV). http://journal.uggedal.com/vps-performance-comparison The one thing I rea

    When I was reading, I wondered if I just consider different things as "mistakes" than Jason, or if he was actively censoring himself. I agree with you that "dialing the wrong number" isn't the kind of mistake I feel like is keeping me back.

    The e-mail field in your profile doesn't cause your e-mail to display publicly; it's unfortunate HN doesn't make it more clear. You have to add it in the bio section to cause it to be publicly viewable. The area I'm in is Hiawassee, GA. Cra

    I have to disagree. 1) To clarify on the purpose a bit, it's aim wouldn't be to be just like Craigslist. Craigslist is good, but has plenty of room for imrpovement. And the unique characteristics of a local community make a more customized

    Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't think Ning would work. For one, it's all about getting people to join the community, which is too high a barrier for most people to post a classified ad real quick. For another, Ning's design and com

    Simple service. If your goal is to make money of the AdSense ads, you might want to think about what kind of actions you want to encourage users to take after they've checked a domain's server, in order to increase their time on your site.
