I killed a lot of zombie startup projects for my startup, Pressyo. Many of them didn't get off the ground because we couldn't secure the basic distributions. Here is a list: ProjectPY - a digg/reddit clone but much saner. This was the first

Flagging content is broken too - or at least people's behaviour in flagging. Take for example, there was a very interesting link to Teacups and Storms re: gender politics. I had wanted to continue reading what other HNers thought about the

No brainer for me: automobiles. The world IMO is run by information (in the Claude Shannon kinda way). Internet and medicine trumps autos any day (I walk a lot anyway - almost everywhere I go)

I have been seeing a lot of static blog generators being paraded around lately. I seriously think that static blog generators should be the next "hello world" when learning a new language. It seems to be useful in doing just that.

I absolutely agree. If your startup/project etc is the kind that falls into the long tail, you will stand to benefit from advertising a lot. For Fork the Cookbook, we had at one point contemplated targeting "recipe management app" and relat

It is a great way to get data, which is why I mentioned "except for quick tests". For actual growth, it's actually a pretty poor channel. A lot of time and energy will need to be spent optimizing ads, LP, CTA, etc. Time spent on funnel opti
