Your description should be more prominent. It's sitting obscurely next to the ads. And about the ads: You don't need them, especially at this point. You don't have the traffic, I assume, to realize any type of real results from those ads -

"Startups are basically comedies [...]" I've been seriously waiting for a Scrubs-style primetime comedy on startups and/or Silicon Valley-esque entrepreneur culture. Maybe one of these days, I'll get a pilot-writer and pitch the idea to a n

John Battelle's book had some really good stories that have stuck with me. How does "The Google Story" compare?

Clicking 'About' already directs me to a full-page ad before I could even learn what the website was about. If that's the kind of thing that's waiting for us in Web 3.0, I hope we stay in 2.0 as long as possible.

Well what's an early stage? A co-founder would need to be existent at the founding, right? Otherwise he wouldn't be a co-founder but rather an addition to your team. But it's altogether possible to develop ideas on your own before locating

Well, I guess I meant it more in the sense that he's always been self-deprecating about being an MBA since he likes to promote the entrepreneur over the businessman. For a suit, he understands the culture pretty well.

Also, I've just gotten through reading a couple choice interviews from Founders at Work. These stories are true treasures. Above being insightful and inspiring for entrepreneurs, it's damned entertaining for anyone.

He hasn't always been a suit. But python_kiss is right, his advice is very practical. He does understand a lot about tech business, but then again he's no hacker himself.

I can't say it's one of the best places. But hey -- people have found some odder things on Craigslist.

I have not yet received word.

Absolutely. I was also thinking of setting something up as soon as we received word on admittance. I would love to meet the YC News community. Maybe even grab a drink afterward. Talk startup. :)

There's just the two of us so I'm involved in just about everything. We each have our own strong areas so we split up the development in regards to that. As it is right now, we conceptualize together and I head the front-end development wh

I have read up on OpenID's specifications and what it aims to deliver. If it is labeled a bandwagon, I think it may be a good one to jump onto. There a few provisions one must be wary of regarding security, but for the most part I believe i

I just read that article too. WordPress.com will be acting as an identity provider, similar to AOL. Any thoughts on OpenID implementation for existing popular networks? Considering that relying sites can filter which providers they allow a

Not a huge surprise, I suppose. Google's ad network is still the market leader. Though, I am very interested to see how much more relevant Yahoo's Search Marketing has gotten with its implementation of Pandora. So far, AdSense is the most

And a lot of other potential big name developments never saw the light of day due to the "corporate" part of corporate R&D. Yes, it is true that corporate R&D produced a long lists of greats; however, some of these faced serious barriers to

"If I were the CEO of a Web company planning to expand worldwide, I'd hit these countries in this order." Seems like a poor data analyzing. China's population is vastly greater than the UK -- it should be no surprise that there is a higher

There is more to reading than physical books. There are MSWord documents, spreadsheets, PowerPoints, etc. These are documents that someone might want to simply embed in a blog post. A user might want to embed a PowerPoint presentation on th

I'm not sure you can separate it into those distinct categories. It's a balancing act; the point will go to the startup with some aesthetics along with intuitive simplicity. There are certain weights you place on each factor depending on t

Your second sentence made it even more analogous to YouTube. When YouTube was younger, its popular use was to facilitate the spread of copyrighted content. Now there's a whole slew of user-generated videos out there. There will inevitably b

So which employed RDBMS are not SQL-based? I don't many are even offered commercially, and I can't think of a company utilizing something such off-standard.
