This is not evident from your demo. Can you include the tooltips to show up by default in your demo page? I am guessing most people would first want to see how the tooltips come up, before they get interested in editing/authoring them.

There are at least 2 types of people that are looking for jobs: One that is actively looking and second, passively. Most of the job search is addressed at the former. I'd pick the second type of folks - there are no specific channels for th

Also, TC (and others) have a huge following from startup community. For early stage companies, funding and hiring have big impact, perhaps next only to customer acquisition (and that is usually not shared). So i wonder if they are only serv

I am surprised that it costs lesser than India's unmanned moon mission ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chandrayaan-1 ). If ISRO can pull it off for under $100 million, that would be quite an achievement. Given the recent commercial interests

They forgot one item in the list of things they make fun of: "Create a landing page and collect emails without telling why/what they are signing up for, because it will be awesome".

Well, keep in mind that India was fairly rich till before the colonisation. From wikipedia[1], according to the Indian Prime Minister: "There is no doubt that our grievances against the British Empire had a sound basis. As the painstaking s

Considering that a (considerable/significant) section of their target audience could be "on the move" and not have a great internet connection, not sure if the 3.5MB gorgeous looking site is a good idea.

You should mention why you are interested in joining a startup that is going to Chile. Are you in Chile yourself? Or is there some other reason for this. I am not going to Startup Chile, but the question popped on my head as i read your web

Bubble 1.0 - Just have a prototype, and money will follow you. Bubble 2.0 - Ship a product, make sure you have enough users, and money will follow you. Post this bubble, is it going to be: "Make profits, because that is where your money is"

Looks clean. Can you add title/description of the video being played?

Yup, that caught my attention too. And i think it puts things in perspective - Google search is a really really complex system. The fact that 1 year of Gmail usage roughly translates to about only 6% power usage as 100 searches is insane.

Name is important to some extent. Ease of remembering, easy to spell and its association to your service/product/app are all some factors. Here is how i go about finding names: * Start with a list of nouns/names that you think your product

I live in India, I have a 2mbps connection at home and pay about $40/month. Not sure what lag you are referring to. I dont have any problems talking to people on skype wherever in the world they may be.

Thanks for sharing your lessons. The biggest takeaway for me is this: > Literally schedule in specific time to think & be creative– you need it.

As a developer, i'd really think hard about developing a native app. I know that some apps cannot go web based, but we need to push the boundaries of what is possible with mobile browsers. I can't think of any other way of keeping the mobil

A great article. I am a solo founder myself and this article has given me more confidence about doing this alone, at least for a while. I have a couple of employees on board, so work load is not a big problem. I'd still love another founder

Bit off topic. But i seriously don't understand the negative sentiment anything related to Google of late. It used to be Facebook a while back, and it seems to be Google's turn right now. There must be some sort of group behaviour explanati

Ok, but what is RESTful thinking? The way i think about REST is this: here is my stateful application, how can i make it available over HTTP/REST. So i start identifying resources. Most of them are easy - they map to your domains models. Bu

Yup. The author is wrong in his assumption. You can always model the "process" parts using a resource(payment resource as against pay, transaction as against credit/debit etc).

On the other hand, someone has to make a start. We might see more such products, even if it is only moderately successful.

And calling out other businesses(FlipKart, LetsBuy etc) when promoting their own business makes this video unwatchable.

Why should they do this in their spare time? If it is important to the business, shouldn't the employers provide time for their employees to learn new technologies?

Legacy applications. When you have invested on applications that sadly work only on IE6, then you have no choice but to block the updates. It would be great if windows can run different versions of IE on the same machine, or even at the sa
