"the art of project management", Scott Berkun. From O'reilly media. This book is gold. but when berkun said that the job is essentially just creating/updating lists for people, i liked my job less and the book more.

Great quality post @BradfordCross. I've been thinking about the value of social sharing. Especially, quantity vs quality. Broad social sharing ('quantity' AKA buzz, tweet, like, etc) returns little back to me. I've shared tons of links on t

FWIW, to do this you press 'door close' + 'desired floor'. this can also bypass other requests (not just change direction).

point #3 isnt exactly correct. On most Otis elevators the direction you call the lift with mandates an operation. If opposing sequence of requests occur, the lift doors will close and then re-open. You'll notice the directional light above

Google is probably making a lot of money off of Mahalo. Anyone want to take a stab at what that number could be?

I think tynt actually knows what was selected and copied even if it wasn't pasted. That nugget of data is captured and the content source can see what info people wanted a deeper dive on. ex: people commonly paste names and unfamiliar words

You need to hire Jenny Ersbak. She's done three interviews with you so far and I can only say praises about her (and I'm her boss). Email me if you'd like a reference.

At the earliest stages, you should just be identifying the problem. Interview general folks in your industry and ask, 'would you like a simpler XXX'. 'what is the most painful ZZZ'. 'what would get you to try a new service'. From that small

Good idea in using Netcraft. This certainly makes some sense. As AllRecipes is almost a decade old and based in Seattle, i can understand why they are on a Microsoft Stack. Thanks!

Ask HN: Why is AllRecipes.com so fast (Featured in those new Chrome Ads)?

Similar API's are available all over the web. the best seems to be www.pittpatt.com but it's kinda pricey. A big advantage is that PittPatt can be installed locally on a server to provide a secure app. Privacy could be a concern as the imag

Bezos invested in http://www.qliance.com/ and they might have simplified much of the required forms customarily requested.

some of the immediate buildings to the right (whitish) have a strange bloated imperfection. kinda ruins the picture. Zooming back is great as you really see that new skyscraper. Zooming in is pretty good too.

Bootup Labs in vancouver is very critical of this term. They adamantly stick to the word 'accelerator'. {try telling that to their last round of investments}

calling idealabs an incubator is the same as Mcdonalds trying out McPizza in the canadian markets. idealabs does not take in outside ideas/entrepreneurs.

bigdeal.com does this too. TechCrunch sponsored their jump into America and ultimately pulled out. It's super confusing for people and 99% of bidders get screwed. The reason why bids happen so fast is that they over bid a high amount and no

Some thoughts / insights Demand Media (DM) only covers the surface of a topic. Never a deep dive. Thus by nature, they are a lead generator. That's why they have descent ad rates and can pay real wages for content. But IMHO, they haven't be

Re: 4chan The $/impressions ratio sounds too good to be true. And that's exactly what it is. If you've ever used 4chan there would be no way you'd actually spend money advertising there. The site is process based where users constantly look
