Just release already. This from 28 February 08 (and blog posts dating back about 9 to 10 months as well): We have been working on our Social Marketplace “Onista” for quite sometime and every week (and every month) we think we are almost re

Hank's titles are almost always hyperbole. While this is an interesting idea to help advance the revenue model, I'm not sure I understood how this would potentially 'save' the music business.

well I didn't like the name either, but I thought maybe it made sense for the tipping aspect. Seems like you're building a great product, and branding/positioning/messaging is obviously very important for what you two are doing.

OP is fairly articulate and intelligent, but would be greatly appreciated if he would stop trolling with his titles.

Given that OP ripped a quote out of context, we will continue to use it as such. If a reporter/interviewer asks you about your failures, and you simply reference your success, does that necessarily mean you do not fix your mistakes? How do

When asked about the balls he dropped in big spots, he responded, ‘What about the ball I caught?’” So while an exceptionally score on a standardized test might suggest dyslexia, the guy’s an egotistical bonehead even without mitigating fac

It was a solid post -- I'm all for finding real 'paying' customers, as well -- just seems that some of the posts are prodding other web app startups (a lot of your fellow YC compadres actually). Solid writing though.

is it just me or do these guys' post seem to reek of quite a bit of arrogance? Great that they're 'making something people want' but their posts are generally condescending -- stop the incessant chatter and show off this amazing product you

Not exactly. He already had lots of traction. I think the author's supposing that Zuck went to a VC before FB took off like crazy. Sure, Facebook may not have made sense until it existed in some form, nor friendfeed, but that doesn't mea

so the analogy still works. AWS=electricity for startups. For restaurants the power does sometimes go out too. If it's life critical, like a hospital, I'm sure you'll be fully redundant.

data center = electricity for startups. why is this analogy funny? Instead of running their own generator (server and storage), for those startups who don't need to, they can use Amazon's power, AWS. am I missing something here?
