i had an attny buddy that wanted to use an exercise ball instead of an office chair. ultimately he got made fun of by so many people that he ended up not doing it. i can see startup people using it, but very few will do so in a more profess

i've always thought this would be an interesting idea. it's neat to see someone doing it. if u think about it, the YC program operates under a similar concept (people are more impt than the idea).

Just downloaded it for myself. I figure I've read more than $3 worth of your HN posts in the past to justify buying the app regardless.

Andrew, I don't hike, but a buddy of mine is always hiking. I forwarded him the link. Very cool looking screenshot on the homepage. I almost want to buy the app just to see it work as I walk down the street for coffee. Good luck with the ap

I think the dingitsup.com design is great. I won't use the service, but I appreciate how simple the design is (and I really like the white and grey color scheme). Designs like this make it very easy to understand what's being offered. Altho

I think the idea has promise. I could definitely see larger companies using it to communicate within departments on a real-time collaborative basis (versus in-person meetings or blasting a one-way email to a group and then having to resend

This is dead on. But it looks like, to some degree, Twitter Search is solving this problem. Twitter is able to do this because, luckily, Twitter has a base of users that are willing to supply the instantaneous news. As a real-life example,

Most investors are going to demand standard terms. Any time you go with non-market terms, you better have a very compelling product. And in a down economy that's even more important. To some degree negotiating a term sheet is like poker. Th

Aneesh, it sounds to me like you've been part of the 1% club for a long time. I applaud you for that. Without people like you, HN wouldn't be my homepage. But the point is that the vast majority of HN users are likely not contributors. Inst

I think that's a great idea. And 33% is a hell of a lot more than 1%. I think basically you found a clever way to convince a lof the people that Feld would say are "on the fence" to become active users by breaking down the biggest barrier,
