I think they will use this to tweak AppStore app ranking algorithm. User app reviews only go so far.

Yeah, I know it's not make by YC. I just wasn't sure if the problem was on my end. I guess I shouldn't have assumed everyone maintains paid apps! Thanks for the tip. I will check out Hackerful.

Wasn't bitcoin founded on the belief that it should be a currency free from transactional fees? Oh the irony of this Bitcoin Black Friday schtick!

I am living vicariously through my friend who got in at $12. He unloaded $150,000 this week. He thinks its the new Gold and will hit $2K next year.

What separates the "billionaire entrepreneurs" and the "other entrepreneurs" is that the billionaire entrepreneurs know something others don't (market insight). With this being said, I believe if you knew something

I just reread what I wrote. Yikes! Please excuse all the auto-correct typos. Is this a "new" startup or is it part of your previously funded searchles company? I completely understand that a redesign is only a piece of the puzzle

The 'more' link is not what pisses me off. What really sucks is when you go to submit a thoughtful reply and you get hit with a bullshit expired event upon submission. Then you need to click 'back' open new window, and p

What were your previous startups in? Consumer? Enterprise? Perhaps you can start writing about your failures to connect with more technical people.

I learned basics by understanding html + then I dug deeper in dhtml. I remember looking at demo source files to learn how they worked. I studied simple code that I could implement. I did this for a couple years. Rather than read books, I r

They do it the same way as narcissistic techies do it. They "listen" for @ mentions throughout the day via twitter clients. Years ago I tweeted about comcast service issues and 5 min later I received a phone call from a comcast se

Digg, Myspace, BitTorrent, etc... at varying degrees were all able to monetize users and made millions upon millions of dollars while doing so. In fact, this answer from the founder of BitTorrent is to my point. http://www.quora.

Not joking. If you know of any please share. To clarify, I am talking about consumer plays here.
