I'm trying to understand what they're going for here. The interesting part is that the "pokes" are ephemeral. Is that special because every other type of electronic message has permanence?

In my experience, the way to approach this is to start writing tests for any bug fixes or new features added. Over time, coverage increases and the product becomes much more solid.

This is a great question. Our primary crowd will initially be tech-focused, so if you pitched an idea where your target market is restaurants, you're not going to get people from the community clicking "I'd use it." That said, you would p

You wouldn't want to post up something like a "trade secret" on our site, that's for sure. However, living in Silicon Valley I have actually found that most people in the tech community don't have problems sharing their ideas. I like to s

We intend to borrow some strategies that have made Kickstarter and other sites for funding projects successful. For example, we'll devote a lot of attention to making individual concepts easy to share, which will ultimately bring more user

In some ways this is similar to Launchrock from the perspective of the poster. However, whether or not it's usually true with most launch pages, when you show people your launch page you are implying that you intend to launch. The purpo

The most important part I saw was that the new terms differ in the Amendments section, and would take away the provision to vote on future changes.

borplk, the idea is that all of your contacts are contactable through the action of e-mailing them via their thinbox address. Even if they aren't registered, they will still be contacted (via SMS asking them to register) by the unified act

For sending text messages that is correct. It may not be clear enough that the purpose of e-mailing a [NUMBER]@thinbox.com address is not to send an SMS to someone's phone. The initial SMS is just a way to ASK for the recipient's e-mail a

It only works with U.S. mobile phone numbers right now, sorry!

Ultimately, our plan for Thinbox is that the number mapping will be connected to more information than just an e-mail address. A path we're considering that might have some more obvious use cases: a mapping of phone numbers -> mailing a

The idea is that it can happen automatically and seamlessly. We are planning to release a mobile sync app that will automatically "fill in the blanks" in your contact list. Basically, for any contact that has a mobile number and no email

If they aren't registered, we send them a text message asking for them to reply with their phone number. Any e-mails thereafter to [YOUR_NUMBER]@thinbox.com are automatically forwarded. Thanks for the feedback though. Admittedly, we coul

I really appreciate any feedback. This is an early stage version, but I wanted to get it out there and see what people had to say before taking it too far in one direction. Also note: Thinbox only works with U.S. phone number at this time.

It's interesting to think of someone using this for their current bf/gf, breaking up (not sure if there is a button for this yet), and then using it again with their new significant other. It seems like some people might not want to even s

Submissions from intelligent dyslexic people would sometimes end up being flagged as false positives, but I think it would be an acceptable cost for some searches. In many situations the right answer is out there in more than one place, an

As a thought experiment, could the effect demonstrated here be used for a transport system on a much colder planet with a much stronger magnetic field (I do realize that these two properties tend to correlate in opposite directions)? What

Sounds like you read 4HWW. I'm doing pretty much the same thing. Half-way back from BA, kicking it in Panama for the moment.

Great stuff so far. I'd especially like to hear from a neuroscientist or physicist if you're out there.
