There needs to be real tangible benefits to the service. I understand it is early, but there aren't many benefits here (hide ads? friend notes?). Perhaps you guys should poll users on pain-points and alleviate them instead of introducing fe

These guys are using e-Junkie, which is a great service and I've used them before. They do cater to physical goods as well, but I rather disliked their flash interface.

I offer a similar service via BitBuffet.com (I own/run the site). It's similar to e-Junkie or Payloadz. Basically, you upload the PDF to us, point your PayPal's IPN point to us and we deliver the PDF to purchasers via email (we have a nice

This type of article is definitely interesting, but it strikes me as similar to the comparison of audiophile and consumer cables, or lossless vs. properly encoded high quality lossy formats. 99.9% of the population can't tell the difference

Could always just chop it to fit into a large sized, non-translucent capsule.

Well, I know from experience that even small time producers of digital goods want some form of DRM, whether they know it or not. A common question I get from my BitBuffet.com customers is "How do I know they won't share the file on their we

I guess I missed all the brew-ha-ha and build up. Am I mistaken, or can you sell GPL software legally? Even if his themes fall under GPL licensing which is somehow enforced, what difference does it make? (other than ideologically?)

This is a bit of what I had in mind for http://EveryMentor.com . Someone to be a "workout" buddy of sorts for pretty much any activity (from being a single founder to being a wedding planner). Needless to say, I like the idea!

Why not create a sub-community for subscribers only? I mean, normal users see subscriber and normal users posts but subscribers optionally only see other subscribers. Maybe this would create a tighter knit, higher quality group. As beaten a

This has happened before to a few small businesses. Most notable was the family in Michigan (?) selling hot sauce. Likewise, they created a Reddit-only discount and then rode the lightning by reporting back with the sales figures. This just

I'd be surprised if there was sufficient liquidity for shorts so soon after the IPO.

When the studios finally put all their shit on NetFlix, you'll likely see a pretty large dip in piracy. Piracy has two things going for it: convenience and cost. However, people are will to PAY for convenience. By making it more convenient

Just a design opinion, condense the logo (in grey background) onto the full content area (in white background). This would help tighten up the page and move that start now button up. If you have Firebug installed, change the margins on the

I am also a huge fan of this. Even if you don't have the big hit, you have a good chance of stumbling across something decent that can sustain you while you search for the big hit. The problem with this technique is I never know where to dr

A natural progression. I'm glad they finally went there. I am a happy customer of their 50 gig offering. I know there are a lot of YC companies out there (most of which I am not interested in the least, but hey, different market), but they

I think it shows how immature a platform is when a customer does all of the data crunching that the host should do for you: 1. Downloading the full list of top influential twitter users from trst.me (~22K users). 2. Hacking ad.ly's

I think this is extremely interesting; not because of the supposed "rigging" but because of the uproar and sleuthing of the community as a result of perceived misdoings. I mean, just think that this random guy Zach Anner has all these peopl

The reasons Python is so appealing to me are numerous, but the primary ones are (1) Django (2) script based (like PHP, no waiting for compilation) (3) easy to scan (no need for {} and everything is nicely nested) It's good, clean fun if you

Hard to imagine they estimate about a year's worth left until exhaustion. And IPv6 isn't remotely close to being fully adopted. Is it safe to assume that IPv4 would continue to be used even after exhaustion, but we would need to start using

I think this really hits the nail on the head. Make sure your product's core function is well designed and the rest falls into place. Because that, my friends, is where it really counts.

The problem is finding the less-famous ones. Try hitting up the Inc 5000 for owners of similar firms. Maybe start in the 2k-3k range.

Try my site http://EveryMentor.com . It might be a long-shot, or a little off of what you ideally would like, but you might just find someone. You can create multiple accounts to match up with several people too!

Thanks for the info, I have little NLP experience but have been diving into machine learning and simple neural nets. What are your thoughts on NLTK? I've yet to use it.

Google is a champion speed and consider it a core-competency. I know that when building EveryMentor.com I did my best to keep it fast and lightweight and I am really proud of how responsive it feels. HTML requests are 260ms and after the in

Bah. We seem to be having trouble with Google Apps blocking emails based on a daily limit, apparently the upgrade hasn't gone through yet and is forcing an error on SMTP connections. Working on it. Edit: fixed (sorta). We're just caching em
