   I agree, they want to remain stealthy and keep the prying eyes of journalists and rivals out but need to be able to convince potential employees to actually contact them.

   Unbelievable. Why is it that the Government never consults groups which know about internet privacy and freedom like the Open Rights Group but consult "Consumer rights groups" which usually work on retail issues. I'm not sure if any UK poli

   Happy Birthday Steve, his inovation and mentality is inspiring and his Segway's are awesome. (Gotta love Segways).

   Congrats, the startup i'm working on http://getdealy.com/creative got to 1000 in a few days as well, but this was mostly by Forrst Ads and telling users we had on a couple of other design lists about the deal.

   This is to be expected, I think it's good that Google isn't doing what companies like Yahoo are doing and rivalling their own products or releasing a half hearted integration between products. Google is linking all of their services neatly

   But of course this tech is built into YouTube, the most popular video streaming site on the internet. It pretty much automatically becomes a mass market tool.

   There's probably a correlation between intelligence and technical skill (using a computer), if you're intelligent you've got a higher chance of actually learning how it works or picking it up faster. Many of those which are intelligent and

   I suppose you can read all the startup stories you like but in the end you won't learn anything unless you just jump in, see how it goes and iterate from what you learn. I think Hacker News has taught me a lot though, i'm not saying learnin

    Make it more clear what you get, i'd consider signing up right now if I knew the kinds of things you offer, instead of so many stock images. Also I had to scroll down to the bottom to understand the product, maybe try to make it clearer fro

    I believe so. Opera show cased this beta email design/feature set which was very appealing for anyone not interested in using Google's services. They do seem to be innovating though, the new Gmail design is much better in my opinion and if

    I'm running a theme so it's hard to tell but it seems pretty snappy for me.

    The email signup form is here, not sure if more should be added to this as well. Once it's launched it will just show a deal/bundle. http://www.getdealy.com/creative/

    I prefer Goo.gl as it looks more like Google but I guess the shorter the better. There's http://gplus.co/ for Google profiles at the moment (unofficial) so G.co would be cool. Update: I thought they'd just replaced Goo.gl but looks like i

    Impressive, surely this can't 'just' be early adopters like many say? I mean considering Google has total integration between search, mail and other products I feel Google+ can be very successful. Also this is about a 1/5 of MySpace and it'

    I don't think i'd work for any large corporation at this time of my life. Maybe if I launched something which was acquired and had a good amount of freedom.

    For some reason me and my friends are in and i'm 17. I don't remember entering my age into Google, I never lied just never entered it. Not sure what their data source it. Once hunch was Google accounts which use YouTube as they have an age

    I've had this since a week after it's announcement like November I think. I like that chat is integrated with messages but I don't use it like an email account.

    Don't use terminology like Sensei and Grasshopper as it confused me with what the idea even is. Plus it means you've got a lot more text with all the brackets. Although I do not like the colour scheme, it's really distracting.

    Thanks for posting, i've been building up a bookmark folder of these and this will be even better. I think there should be some kind of sorting of articles in a library format. So those interested in YC or what ever subject can find a curat

    I think it is, it's really easy to create a theme or port a static site over to make it dynamic. Half of tumblr's users are teen girls but they are geeks so they make lot's available for us geeks to use it to hack.

    Thanks for the reply, Agreed, I suppose it makes a lot more sense to buy a domain like this in such a way. I'm not sure if they are selling them at the moment but it's interesting.

    No Skypein numbers? How? I swear it's available in a lot of obscure countries? And Canada is far from that, you'd expect it to have this.
