Very nice explanation, thanks for your input. I have read a little about the Filter/View system of CouchDB and I didn't really get the point as it just felt overly complex. Your blog/comment example helped though.

I've already made that facebook app, it didn't do so well.It was called iGot, as in "check out what I just Got." It let users put products on their profile and post a short review. I only had a couple dozen people ever use it.

It seems to help my focus. I noticed a few months back that when I start up some soft music, like Coldplay, I tend to get more done. I think it quiets the ADD part of me that feels the need for extra stimulus. Also, when I'm listening to mu

I fell in love with this site over the last few months. Not only were the numbers almost dead-on but the daily updates were all well written and insightful. Great work!

this article fails to mention that Obama has spent a lot of time talking about how small businesses and startups are the driving force of our economy, and his tax plan shows that he believes it. Fail ABCNews.

I think it's actually pretty hilarious. Ever since the Microsoft "I'm a PC" ads came out I've wondered what it meant for the Apple ads, I guess now we know. Apple has them coming and going, there really isn't much they can do. Gizmodo had a

I definitely got this vibe from the proceedings as well. Especially from the Macbook video that is all Ive. It's sad to see him go but good to know that it will be a slow transition.

If you need 23 essential tools then you're doing something wrong. When the article says "5 essential tools" then I'll be interested.

I didn't get to ask all the questions but it was a really great time. I'll write it up on my blog and then post it here for people to read over.

Haha I had the same problem the first time I set my Ruby crawler loose. Within 5 minutes I had crashed a "large electronics retailer's site". I'm omitting the name to protect the guilty.

While this article is funny it also just pisses me off. Who are these morons that are getting all this VC money? After a long fight I've finally decided to believe PG. It does matter where you start your startup, you're not going to get fun

The only hope is our elitist comment trolls. Also the fact that HN has far fewer users makes it much easier to deal with the problem. http://siteanalytics.compete.com/digg.com+reddit.com+news.yc...

Steganography has always interested me but using it in this way never really occurred to me. It would be cool to see someone do the same kind of thing with hCard info. You could embed your hCard in a profile picture and then by just draggin
