I'm sorry you found it confusing (hence the redesign in progress ;) ). The hearts are white until you favourite a song. I can see how this can be confusing when they are red in the instruction text.

Getting TechCrunched should be a means to an end. Launching your startup in a certain way should not be a means to getting TechCrunched.

In-memory, in-process storage is by far the fastest option (assuming you know a hashtable from a granola bar). A single server can easily handle 1000+ requests/second, which is plenty. The only reason not to do it is if your data doesn't fi

Erm, if I spam 300 blogs a day by "dropping my card" for 3 days in a row, I can buy a Penguin book. http://entrecard.com/docs/doku.php?id=earning_credits http://entrecard.com/shop/category/10/

Funny, entrecard is one of the companies presenting at the Cambridge Web Innovators Group ( http://webinno17.eventbrite.com/ ) next week. I'm no longer sure if it was a bad thing that we couldn't get a spot to present there.

Still. Other US-only sites, like Hulu, don't ask for my drivers license.

In order to register I need a non-anonymous email (i.e., non-Gmail) or Credit card number or Scan of ID card. Are you serious?

From my experience, I wouldn't say the guys on Wall Street and in the City are "out there dancing". Most of them are in there, working 16 hours a day, up to 7 days a week. Think about supply and demand. Would they be getting such high salar

What would be really cool is if you could make it send an email when something happens. Few examples: - Let me know when the weather forecast for Boston is above 18* C (so I could plan a picnic for tomorrow, for example) - Notify me when th

Some things I figured while working on http://thefeelgood.com 1) Move as much of the work from MySQL to PHP. Things like joins, sorting, etc. are done in PHP. Your PHP nodes are much easier to scale - just throw in a new server when you n

1) I tried it in Safari and the Browse and Add buttons are unclickable, unless you click in the left corner. 2) Uploading without entering an email sends me to a login page, although I obviously don't have a login. 3) 1020px is quite wide,

I agree, I installed it and technology wise it's pretty cool. However, 1) once you install it you need to setup all your hardware (e.g., my WiFi only works in 8.04 and my second screen and USB mouse are still not working, and I'm fairly exp
