Yeah, I'd use Emacs too, if it only had a good editor...

What about education & higher ed? Seems like an enterprise wide (or district-wide, or campus-wide) tool for making dead simple webpages would be a killer way to spice up any class.

If your only standard for be a professional is showing up, maybe you should reconsider why you started your own company instead of working for MegaCorp. If you are the "business guy", It is your job to build the reputation, and his job to b

I'm not an AI guy, but isn't having people tag their photos is creating a gold mine of data for when they do automate the process?

I think you should definitely give the premium service model a shot. Even if it doesn't prove to be your final business model, you've already proven that you know what entrepreneurs want to hear, so maybe you could move into hosting panels/

Over the last several months your interviews have worked their way into my routine and I often turn to them for motivation and inspiration. I think that the opportunity to help other entrepreneurs is a big factor in folks being so candid wi

If your primary revenue stream will be ads (and I hope it isn't) then you should probably run them as soon as possible. I think you should launch with ads and make a concerted effort to find a new revenue model as soon as possible. an off-t

I would agree that decisions with 2 people are difficult, but I don't think they're impossible. A marriage could be considered a startup with only 2 founders, and in that case, making a decision where the equity is 50/50 is essential to mak

I guess part of my complaint is also this: People often put a bunch of answers to questions out there that no one asked, usually because the site isn't self explanatory, if people are really asking you questions, you have a great opportunit

This article brings up an issue I often face when looking at articles from sites like this. How do I know the slant of a news site I don't often read? I don't have a problem with a little bias, (in fact, bias is nearly impossible to elimina

So your frustration in bed is Apple's problem? ;) On a serious note, I agree 100%. There are lots of time where disabling rotation would be useful: in bed, in a small plane, or anything else super jostling. Maybe the ability to lock the per

I like it, but saying "Check us out at www..." at the end of the first paragraph seems like a tacky segue. Maybe move it to the end of the 3rd paragraph?

Does anyone know of an open-source alternative? I don't mean "lift up heavy shit until you get tired, don't eat bad food" either, I mean a tested, regimented, and focused system? I participated in the 911 Fitness Challenge http://www.911fi

I think your concept is sound, but I'll second the addition of a reputation system. Also, you're front page needs to let me know whats going on. If you cut down the number of auctions on the front page (maybe by only show the most active, w
