Why the gender bias? Even women seem to start these small businesses that just happen to be helping the economy. Honestly, I'd much rather hear stories of off-beat small businesses getting value from technology than yet another twitter app

I'll bid $500. For real. HN is likely one of the worst places to try and sell something like this. We all believe we can rewrite 80% of something like this in a couple of weekends, given sufficient caffeine. The $500 bid is based on the l

I'm a Pro member as well. I think the subscription fee is well worth it if you are looking to draw more traffic to your website via SEO. It's the combination of the tools and the community. Disclaimer: Rand Fishkin's a friend (but I would

It will be interesting to also see the numbers a few days after the initial spike has subsided. This will give you a sense for the "trailer" on that early interest. Thanks for sharing your numbers. Very interesting.

The page won't load at all for me. Can anyone provide a quick hint to what it actually is? Thanks.

Was able to get my desired name: http://facebook.com/dharmesh Oddly, that makes me happy.

I agree. Angel investment is a very long term game and you'll be dealing with many issues that are separate from the startup you're investing in. I'd advise joining a reputable angel group or at least finding a few active angels that you ca

The best time to submit a story? When you have something relevant and interesting to share! (Sorry, couldn't resist)

I'm glad too. @ericries is doing a phenomenal job pushing that movement.

Actually, I don't think they used either in the original article or title.

I'd suggest Startup2Startup that's held in Palo Alto. I attended the most recent one while I was out in the valley, and I thought it was really good.

As it turns out, startups are not just about what you can walk away with (though that's certainly a plus). It's nice to be able to share the experience with others that you like and respect.

Very timely. I had the exact same question (need to implement some sort of simple user management system for http://grader.com ). I looked at ClickPass a little while ago, but thought they had merged with someone else and wasn't sure if t

Windows 7 is what Vista should have been in the first place -- smaller and snappier. To late for Microsoft to capture those that jumped to Mac, but might keep some Windows people around longer.

My favorite part: "Shipped horribly buggy beta in 6 months. Charged from day one. No PR, no launch. Revenues: $10 million" Lots to learn from this approach. Eric gets it.

Might I ask what made this one particularly lame. Lame, I understand, but particularly lame? It was a Friday afternoon thing with beer, food, and decent conversation. [disclaimer: I'm a founder @HubSpot, the company that hosted the eve

Any HN folks planning on attending? I spoke at last year's event (and am speaking again this year). It was a great event. Tad on the expensive side, but well managed and organized.

I'm (mostly) with you on this. Primary focus should be building the best product you can. But, there's a fair amount of learning to be had from watching your competitors. So, I'd say: "Watch and learn from your competitors, just don't fol

It might just be me, but it disappoints me a bit to see startups put blogs as a sub-domain of WordPress.com. (WordPress itself is great, but it's much better to use a sub-domain or sub-folder of the primary domain -- for controlling the SE

Indeed, passion (at a macro-level) is important. But even within your passion lies a long list of tactical things that need to be selected from. The challenge is limited resources. You can't do everything (regardless of level of passion),

I'm hoping Jason and crew write a blog article describing what they changed (and why). Would make for some great reading.

VCs generally bring in entrepreneurs in residence (EIRs) for one of the following reasons: 1. To help source (i.e. find) great startups they can consider for investment. 2. To help provide advice/guidance to existing portfolio companies (

Takes a lot of effort to hear it. I think the mic is too far from the speaker (and likely built-in to the camera).

Very creative idea. However, I'm not convinced that mainstream users will get comfortable with it (because it looks "different"). This, plus the fact that enough problems can exist from creation/sharing/clicking that it's likely just not w

I'd go one step further: Not only should you have your logo link back to your startup's main home page -- you should include a simple text link, with the right keywords in the anchor text, to link back. This is for search engines (so if yo
