The real problem is that it presupposes thought-crime. The DHS document in the sidebar says FAST will "identify individuals with malintent ... *Malintent: the state of mind of individuals intending to cause harm ..." Whether it's really sci

That's a valid point. It could be a good fit for this, but it's not as clear as something like Posterous, which mikeklaas mentions. You still have to go to the website first to figure out what it's all about.

Very true. Posterous executed amazingly. They addressed a large market with early adopters who were already primed by email-blog gateways & xmlrpc clients, and they had a great, repeatable message that was embedded in the email address:

Sign-up by email was among the worst decisions I made on a web "startup" years ago, because I was oblivious to how non-obvious this was for your average person. It's good that you seem to be aware of this barrier. Potential users didn't und

The poster edited their comment. It originally started something like "tl;dr no really I didn't read the article" and proceeded with the speculation (and hubris that it's the "only reasonable explanation") that remains at the time of this w

It's an interesting idea to look at non-internet innovation and see a decline, but the internet provides a lot of slack in the need to do hard, physical innovation. In the case of transportation, we're seeing productivity gains because the

I seem to remember that, at the time, one of the partners was unnamed on the website. Was that you, or someone else?

Of note, this was the core feature of Heroku when they first started out (no need to know git/command line).

Tom Scott's Tweleted demonstrated this a couple years ago, back when Twitter search.twitter.com showed deleted tweets. Knowing that it doesn't erase history, I still routinely delete inconsequential tweets, particularly @replies, to make m

I hope this isn't bad news for Swiffy, the very cool Flash->HTML5 converter they launched not long ago. Hopefully they'll commit to licensing the runtime so that people can continue to use their converted files. If they take it down, ex

I don't think it's misleading. The first image on the page shows a Macbook Air with Thunderbolt going to one side & power to the other. That image is just the first in a slide show of Macs connected to displays, and the page isn't about

It should be the maximum number of people that you can convincingly argue are potential customers. It sounds like you need to do more research. If you say 65 million people in the US, you should be prepared to answer a question like: "Out o

You don't have a market cap. At least not one that matters. Don't use that term in your deck; it means something completely different than what you think it means. Namely, it is the total value of your business based on what people have pai

I understood this in the original parent's comment from "monopoly game", and I suspect the original parent understood it & meant it that way. Rarely would those words be used together not meaning the board game. (NB nouns in German are

Also, users don't assign copyright, they merely (if the users have actually agreed to these terms) grant TwitPic a non-exclusive license. All someone has to do to get around it is tweet @ you and get your permission to use the image instead
