Obviously, you'll need bandwidth if you are hosting media content, but that seems to be the only real limiting factor. To me, this is a top down problem rather than a bottom up problem. My suggestion is that you should look at what you want

Bugbear.com is also not a commercial site, it is a guy's personal web presence. I would think that this would be a factor in the value of the bugbear.net name, especially for something homebrew or community oriented. If he ever did sell to

I think a number of us would agree that good domain names help, they lend something that is easy to remember, like a jingle, and help with SEO, but the Internet is full of successful businesses with not terribly cool names. Take NewEgg. Is

I agree that it is harder to find top notch people than mediocre, that just seems natural, following the talent bell curve(most in the middle level of ability, some very poor, some excel) but how does Google limits itself to C++? I read a

Your question, "How do you get on Digg's fron page?" reminds of the question, "How do you get to Carnegie Hall?" I'll quote the first paragraph of the referenced article (and is actually a good read): "There's a story, perhaps apocryphal, a

A comment more on the structure of the pages linked to than the content: I have to say that I really don't like slideshow pages, especially those that skip automatically to the next slide. Am I alone in this?

If you are by yourself, I firmly believe you need someone you trust to talk to. Everyone really needs a sounding board. I suggest that you try to find a partner or two. I'm kind of in the same boat and am contacting key people who I trust i

well, for starters, I'd suppose YC thinks favorably on the startups they've invested in. I mean, they're putting some of their money and I suspect a bunch of their time into them. Maybe I'm dense, but this seems obvious to me. YC has posted

I don't need micro-lending, but many others might. I've had ideas that could use an effective merchant micro-payment system usable by all, charging tiny amounts of money for individual services, but credit services charge fees currently pre

Let us ask you the same question, "What service would add enough value to your startup that you would be willing to pay for it?" I want to add "a service or product that you can't already find or that doesn't cut it for you and you're looki
