I did a search and didn't see this mentioned. In any case, a very useful feature would be a way to track your comments in the different submissions and the stories that you voted up. There are a lot of really great stories on here and

All I know is that it works. I tried out a few terms and got what I had in mind every time. They heavily emphasize speech recognition, I think. For what this is, it's very cool. The technology is there and the product works. I think thi

A lot of you would-be entrepreneurs should give this a read. There are many things to consider in the crucial first steps.

Humans have too much compassion. We need cold, hard algorithms! Indiscriminating, zero-tolerant machines! ;)

Of course it'd be ideal to create a company with a sustaining business model; there's no question about that. Is that the only time a company should be formed? That may be akin to only purchasing shares in long-term growth companie

It shouldn't be a problem as long as they have a business model this time around. :) Good article, thanks.

I've been trying out their beta for the last couple weeks, and while some may find it nice, it doesn't hook me at all.

With their hard ties to VCs, if TechStars do not continue with you in their next round, you are auto-stigmatized. TechStars has then effectively marked you as undesirable in a sense and others might not give you a fair look.

Just wanted to comment that Kulveer's blog and Harjeet's blog, Mealticket, are some of my favorites. For me, the most useful advices and resources are often anecdotal.

Whenever there's a blog post about Y Combinator's summer funding, I always see TechStars and Lightspeed brought up or mentioned in the comments. Comparisons will be made, naturally. There is a lot of discussion regarding the funding vs. sha

Advertiser heaven, absolutely. Has anyone here read John Battelle's "The Search?" He coins the term "Database of Intentions." He suggests some really provocative scenarios that is even more applicable now with recommendation

I can't say I agree with you there. You might have missed the point a little bit. Even if you are 100% passionate in your product and believe in it every step of the way, it doesn't mean that you can just put up your house to pursue it. The

Oh, and I just wanted to add: This "article" is one of the best things I've read all day. It was so helpful that I made enough mental notes while reading that I had to transfer them to paper.

It sounds like a good idea. I'd love to be part of a OpenCoffee Club over here. I wonder if there will be any interest in starting one over here in Silicon Valley... :P Has anyone heard of or used Zoodango.com, founded by James Sun? This re

I think a community feature is valuable to many sites if it isn't a tacked-on afterthought that eventually becomes a burden for the users. Whatever the site may offer, it's *usually* a plus for a user to be able to interact with other users

This article seems way more indepth than it really should be. It takes naming a company and dissects it into an exact science. A simplistic approach is quite often the best one. Just pick a name that resonates and is representative of what

Great panel. Django is absolutely wonderful. With some more documentation, a surge in widespread use is imminent.

You're right. The problem usually isn't in the product, it's usually the problematic current implementation of it. There's a lot of things to consider and I look forward to that article.

I posted this article to extend on another one that was posted ("Forget VC Money, Fund Yourself"). It's important to remember that a seemingly "me-too" site must drastically improve on the execution and implementation on an

by danielha 20y ago
Anyone can be a foolish bozo and try to sell a me-too with hype. But good VCs will be able to see this. The me-toos that CAN succeed is the one that actually do it better -- they can implement an existing concept in a way that executes bet

Ah, there's nothing like rampant speculation following an acquisition. Always fun stuff. I must say that this is a far reach even as far as reckless speculation goes. The acquisition of AdScape more likely ties in with Google's business as

The Web2.0 designation will probably die soon, but the next-generation of the web is here to stay. This is not a bubble of web products cropping up to ride the acquisition-hype-train (though many are). With the "Web1.0", companies

It may seem that their ideas were initially as innocuous as they come, but that's probably not the whole of it. YouTube's Chad and Steve say that they just wanted to create a cool site where you can share videos like Flickr users share the

What makes this VCR in particular worth more than $50? I must say the pictures are beautiful, however.
