Nice work! A big improvement would be to not go through the submission step if the article has already been submitted (and has votes). Would be more like the reddit button. Speaking of which, making this look more like the standard social

I'm with you on this one. I favor something brandable vs. just a pure keyword match. And, having your cake and eating it too is not that hard. Start with a root keyword and modify to make it brandable.

Have been using this for a little while now. Totally awesome. The simple example on the home page should have one more line of code that shows that you use r.content to get to the content that came back from the request. That would seem t

Sorry about that. The tips weren't listed in any sort of "priority" order. The reason the traction one was last wasn't because it's the least important, but because I thought it was a good way to "close" the article. Often, the last item

Wow, quite a riveting story. Frankly, I don't know that the guys did anything particularly wrong along the way. It was a series of small things, and at each one, I'm sure they were telling themselves "well, it's not a major deal, we've come

I'm totally with you. I respect Eric Ries for the following reasons: 1. He's on the path of truth and justice (i.e. the concept of the lean startup is "right" -- the more people follow it, the less entrepreneurial energy is wasted). 2. He'

Probably one of the most brilliantly transparent blog posts I've seen from an entrepreneur, ever. My advice to Rand: 1) Don't overthink valuation. 2) The partner is the most important component. 3) You'd be an idiot not to take some m

No, I am not saying that (and actually felt compelled to update the article and make that point clearer). I'm a fan of building profitable, sustainable startups. I don't consider that to be mediocre at all.

They're not suggesting that it is free, just that it doesn't have the "usual" strings attached. To get cash, office space and a network without giving up any equity is a relatively remarkable thing.

Peldi's talk was awesome at BoS last year. He embodies the combination of humor, humility and smarts that makes for a great entrepreneur. Well worth it.

I'd argue that raising money from YC (specifically) might be harder than raising money generally from angels/VCs. There are still only a finite number of YC applications selected into every cohort (and my guess is, as the brand grows, the n

I use Rapportive all day, every day. It's now an automatic reflex to look in the Rapportive margin when I'm working on email. The new Facebook integration will be awesome -- may actually get me to use Facebook more.

Thanks for clearing that up. I was beginning to wonder if we had done something tasteful. We're the polar opposite of search engine spam. We believe passionately in great, original content!
