More easily tracking your brand (or your competitors) = helpful. Doing it through Twitter DMs = not so much, imho. Twitter just has way too much noise, so it's not a great interface for receiving alerts about important information. I'd rat

TechCrunch would never respect a company asking them to take down leaked photos... and these weren't leaked, they were published publicly. By which I mean: Can someone who has local copies of these put them up somewhere? (Dustin?) I'd be i

I'm kind of sick of the "kill Web 2.0" meme... it's easily as tired as the term Web 2.0. Web 2.0 isn't a version. For O'Reilly it's a marketing term used to sell books, blogs, magazines, and conferences. For everyone else who took part in

And of course, coincidence or not... does it really matter? I don't think anyone with a straight face could accuse TechStars or YC of actually stealing ideas at the investor level, but if an enterprising entrepreneur sees a good idea put i

Skype, IM (usually Yahoo! since it supports offline messages), Basecamp (less than I used to), Google Docs, email, and Senduit for sending large files back and forth.

GitHub, Linode, AWS. A merchant account is in the cards, though we don't know where yet (and haven't finished the process of incorporation, so can't get one yet). At some point we might use Exceptional (I like the look of it, but I'm not a

What's with the picture of Barney Frank? I thought this was an April fool's joke, but IMDB has a page for it and a quick Google search does turn up articles from 2006 mentioned Jolie being attached at one point.

But it could take incoming calls via wifi. 3G would be required only if you needed ~100% connectivity. In a wifi-only Skype app on an iPhone that supported background processes, it could auto connect to wifi networks whenever available and

Skype for the iPhone sounds great -- I'd love to be able to easily make free calls over wifi using my Skype Out account (the current Skype-enabled apps like TruPhone fall short, imho). But, and correct me if I'm wrong, without background pr

Er, architect does have more than one definition... I.e., "the deviser, maker, or creator of anything: the architects of the Constitution of the United States" (definition #3 on dictionary.com) My guess is that the word architect in the aut

Admirable, certainly. It's nice to see a CEO who is keen to experience his business from every angle. From observing the workplace of my girlfriend, who has recently worked in retail for a large, national corporation, I can tell that the p

There's sort of a chicken and egg problem for us: the service has more utility for users the more integrating partners we have / the more people who are hooking into our API. And for developers, the service becomes more useful the more use

We just today dropped approval on API key requests -- so they're instant, but we do still require some info (product name/description). We note in the how to enter area of the contest page to just put "API contest entry" in the description

You probably should have titled this with the traditional "Ask HN: Review my startup ____" ... since I was expecting something different. Anyway, seems like a nice, simple to-do list app. The shifts are a neat idea, but I'd be concerned th

Consistency is the most important part. You need to reset your internal clock to get used to going to sleep and waking up at the same time. Even though it sucks at first -- you may have trouble falling asleep and then getting up early you

Yeah, another semi-misleading headline from TechCrunch. It's not a "Facebook Poll" (since only Facebook itself can actually run polls these days, iirc), it's a third party app that is polling Facebook users. Edit: Looks like Arrington upda

I heard the same thing at FOWA in Miami this year from Gary Vaynerchuk (and have heard it from him before at other conferences). He said, paraphrasing: If you can't quit your job to follow your dream and build your startup because you have

This is why blogging will never (or at least can never adequately) replace traditional media. The list of most linked to sources for bloggers is almost exclusively traditional media. As high on citizen journalism as I have been in the past
