Think about this: If the email ended with something like "Sent from my iPhone", I would probably overlook certain spelling errors and assume that the mail was a real message from a real person, not a form letter. The real goal, to make the

You know that, even on mechanical turk, you'd still have to pay people something to look at the x-ray images, whether they find a weapon or not? What you're describing would still cost a significant amount of money (even at, say, a penny pe

I used to believe that too, but I've changed my mind. Now, I'll always prefer clean organized code, even if it doesn't work. I can always hire someone or jump in myself and make the changes that are necessary. It is safer to assume that

Find a local meetup, and try to connect with people in your area who have cool ideas. Then put together a team and start building. BTW, if you happen to be in the NYC or Philly area, email me.

We intended to make online communities (swarms) work more like real-life communities. A user could belong to multiple swarms. People who don't feel like they belong in a swarm could leave (or be forcibly voted out by the group) and join an

Would you consider forking the entire site into multiple HNs? e.g. where one site encourages civility and another encourages nastiness? Along a similar idea, I once started work (and since abandoned it) on a social news site where the idea

On the contrary, I would argue that conversations of more than 140 characters are not conversations at all. They're speeches, talks, blog posts, etc. When you converse with someone, you need to stop talking sometimes and listen to what t

In regard to social networking, I think the author means "Don't build a generic social network (Facebook, MySpace, Orkut, Friendster, etc)" We have enough of those, and I think Social Booth doesn't really fit in to that category. All use
