You make great points. I think good hackers who are interested in doing a startup really should pay attention - what we think is interesting is useful is often not anything people want. Great if you're just hacking, but not so much if you w

Equity. It's called dilution.

We are demoing some domain specific use cases in Labs, but the goal is ultimately an open box search engine at web scale.

Anaphoric: Our consumer web search product is still some time away, but we have launched Powerlabs to a small group of users and we are inviting more every week. I'll see if I can get you in to the next batch.

I remember having this conversation at Startup School last year with some very smart hackers over dinner. The overwhelming majority felt that Facebook was exactly that, a fad like MySpace or Friend or whatever, that it won't be around in 5

Dude, just want to say you have a great sense of design. Are you applying for YC this round?

by blader 19y ago
Yes. http://www.techcrunch.com/wp-content/smincomebig.png My app ( http://apps.facebook.com/themafia ) is currently doing around 9K a month a revenue, and it's not even that successful by Facebook app standards.
