Question: It seems (to me) that a lot of landing pages look very similar - I'm not a designed, so is there a template out there that could be used, or are all of these built individually, from scratch?

Nobody is stopping you from doing that. The entire point of AB&B is that you truly (could) get to stay at "home away from home", and experience what you wouldn't get at a hotel. Not that I'm defending or promoting AB&B, but staying

You're absolutely right. I was able to tell from the Snapjoy link what the startup did, and whether or not it was a thread worth browsing through. In 2 seconds. If all YC (and non-YC) startups describe what they do in the title in 10 word

Unfollowing isn't an option because I'd still like to get the occasional post from Person X - just not as frequently as I'd like to see posts from Person Y. I'm not talking about "firehose people" - my point is, it would be great if I could

This is something that Google+ needs to deal with immediately. It's also a problem that Twitter faces. Certain folks tend to dominate or flood my Twitter or Google+ stream - but muting/blocking/unfollowing them is not really an option. From

In my profile. It would be great if we could simply subscribe to public Circles (haven't played around with G+ enough to know if such an option exists in the first place), as opposed to having to add people one by one.

Yes, but "green" and "tea" make it sound a lot healthier. It's every marketer's dream come true.

1. Skype offers the best product in its market (and is the market leader) 2. Skype has 110m+ active users, and 660m+ overall users. $8.5b is too much, in my opinion, but Microsoft obviously believe that it's a fair price to pay for the reas

What will be interesting now is the question of if Microsoft will work with Facebook on Skype, or use it as a platform to compete with Facebook. I recall reading a few articles on Facebook exploring a partnership with Skype - it certainly

Good point, thanks. But one of the biggest factors in favor of Skype is still its free audio conferencing capability. Google Voice does not have this, unfortunately, and I wonder why.

While you're right about loyalty, quality matters too. Skype is infinitely better than Google Voice when it comes to video calls (very little lag, if at all!) - plus, users can video conference for free, which is not an option with Google V

Clear, concise explanations. Good job. A tip: It would be better if you could expand on the "Real World" section, especially when it comes to specific examples (e.g. dictionaries etc). That way, more students would relate to understanding e
