Consider integrating Slashdot into your service. I love Slashdot, and the comments there are the best anywhere.

Sure, Mogotest fulfills the needs of the hardcore web designer set, but I see the trend moving towards CMS platforms like Wordpress and pre-tested, standard compliant templates, rather than designing from scratch. That means professionals f

Hmm. Great idea, truly. But $45 /mnth? Don't get me wrong. I'm not a miser. I buy software, ebooks, audiobooks and online subscriptions without batting an eyelash. But $45 mnth seems to break an invisible threshold for me. For $45 a month,

My idea for you? Make RandomRunners.com happen. I'll even give you the domain name. The concept is here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1554144

I don't push past my comfort zone near enough. It's been such an issue with me, I devised a game for myself to take chances and seek out rejection. The game (I call it Rejection Therapy) worked so well that I documented my idea online (alth

Forget yourself. Go befriend a lonely kid, or play chess with elderly people in a retirement home. Or help out at a food bank. You'll discover what an awesome person you really are.

Perhaps runmap.net and mapmyrun.com, along with realtime platforms like Twitter could be leveraged as part of RandomRunner's service?

Random Runners would add a social and competitive element to the runs too. You could announce "hey, if anyone wants to run 26.2 today, I'll be at the Java Cafe on Fifth st. and Main at 3pm." Random Runners could report on the outcome of the

Thanks David. I should probably survey a runners forum next.

That's the ad hoc pitch for the idea I got about 30 minutes ago in the shower. I registered a couple of domain names and now I'd like to get some input from the HN clan. Could this work? If so, what are the minimum amount of features I'll n

You can assume two things of insightful comments from successful HN members: 1) they are older than you, or put more time in than you, thereby had more time to learn success systems, gain experience and accomplish things. 2) they are acquir

A lot of spinning going on here. Your competitor is spinning your content for his gains (not cool), and you are spinning your wheels wondering what you should do. There is no better way to put a competitor on the defensive than by innovatin

Befriend a superconnector. A superconnector is someone who knows everyone. You can identify a superconnector from a mile away. They are the ones who are usually talking on their Blackberrys - talking with contacts and setting up deals. They

I like my competitors. I don't think about them much (weird, and potentially dangerous, I know), and I would never link to them, but I do respect them. I'm currently looking for a blue ocean strategy that will erase any competition, but reg

Just because an item is "business deductible" doesn't mean you should buy it. At tax time, you'll probably only get back .30 cents on the dollar for the purchase anyway.

I like how you phrased that: artificially limited choices. It's accurate, since we always have choices, even ones that are contextually unrelated.

I just woke up, so you can't hold me responsible for anything I say in the following statement: Yes, I do think it can work, with strong marketing. This kind of business is like an ugly guy trying to pick up women. It's a numbers game. The

My advice? Stop reading Hacker News. You can't afford distractions. Finish your project. In fact, I'm going to take my own advice. Good luck.

I like the look. The colors are rich and warm. I instantly signed up, and will do so with many of my blogs. However, that said, it doesn't seem like something a quality longform content blog would use. It's more for an auxiliary lower rank

I've used DreamWeaver exclusively for about a decade (way back when Macromedia was the shiznit), mostly for static HTML/CSS projects. Then recently, my main PC died, and with it my last Adobe Creative Suite 5 licence (I couldn't get back in

In related news, I just discovered (today in fact) a real-life Adobe DreamWeaver alternative that DOESN'T SUCK! And for the most part, it's completely free, unless you want the Pro version which costs a whopping $59: http://www.evrsoft.com

Reddit is user generated content. Without the users, who are the readers and contributers, Reddit wouldn't even exist. And yet they want subscription fees from the very users who carry the website? Reddit have ads plastered prominently on t
