   Groupon raised the 1 billion in January which means that both the COO and CTO stayed long enough to cash in on the Series G round and then left.

   I'm assuming that they knew that Groupon would use the money to keep its original employees around for another year, pump revenue. The payoff at the end for the investors and the employees is a huge IPO.

   This is really cool. I would send this over to Sebastian Marshall at sebastianmarshall.com. His blog has a good amount of readers and I think he would love to cover something like this.

   Thanks! We're working on doing a demo video, but in the meantime the Twitter account access is to a. get all of your articles and b. to allow you to participate in the comment system on the site which is basically a Facebook comment system

   We did reach the front page early in the morning EST (starting at about 6 AM and ending at around 1 PM) so HN traffic was a little lower than usual in that period.

    Hey sammville thanks for your feedback! Right now we're showing the tweets in reverse chronological order by tweet time, but that doesn't take into account when the article was actually published. We'll definitely take a look and see if we

    Thanks for your feedback, I'm sorry you didn't give the app a try. Unfortunately we can't grab any of the headlines from your Twitter feed without having you sign into your account so that would be a tough obstacle for us to overcome. Event

    Interesting. We were thinking about popping up a lightbox for a new user to remind them if they didn't use the keys. Do you think that would be too intrusive? We definitely considered doing that, the biggest question that we ran into was ho

    Pro tip: You can navigate through the articles using the arrow keys on your keyboard. Do you guys have any suggestions as to how to make this more clear? (We already say to do so on the loading screen but feel not many people pick up on it)

    First we pull as much of your Twitter timeline as we can, and find the ones that have links in them. We used an open source project called Goose to grab the article text from those links and store it in our database and then push it to the

    Thanks for your feedback. We felt like the value added features are the convenience that the app affords e.g no scrolling, and the decision to follow or unfollow is done with just one click. We also provide information to help you make your

    Thanks for your thoughts we'll definitely work to add more value, but for now it will tell you how many tweets per day the tweep has and tell you whether they are following you back.

    Thanks for the advice! Right now we're just grabbing the data from Twitter and presenting it without sorting it by any kind of algorithm, but we'll definitely think about how to present the people you're most likely to "kill" first, that's

    I like the concept! My only issue is that I don't know how to pronounce your currency - maybe make it more clear what the verbalization of the symbol is. Otherwise cool site.

    Hey thanks for your thoughts. I definitely agree that I don't necessarily look at the author's name to decide whether I like the article enough to upvote it - that's not really the point I was trying to make (I guess I didn't make it clear

    Definitely marketing and finding an audience plays a part in it, but I don't think that you can find that market without some degree of credibility. In looking at your posts it's clear that you have a high degree of experience in this field

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts and I see your point, and I think that all of us have the goal of winning in mind. Of course it would be better to just succeed right off the bat. But that's not realistic. Success is a process. This post wa

    Whoa I love the local maxima metaphor that's awesome. And I agree, failure is all about personal growth and overcoming fear.
