Yup, I will be keeping it up indefinitely, I don't see any reason why to remove .. but if it ever came down to that, I will ping the HN community so that everybody knows. I guess anyone looking to build a co-founder dating site has to figur

Imho, this spreadsheet captures the very bare essence of a co-founder dating site. Find your co-founder with nothing more than your browser's "Control-F"

Not at all, I was pondering about that earlier and decided to defer the decision to the public ;)

by jayliew 17y ago
that's true. Maybe it just needs to be re-worded "poll: single founder, or >1 co-founders ?"

Basically the value proposition is providing more granular privacy controls for Twitter; you can decide who can see a piece of content or not. I think it's a good idea, although I probably won't use it since I don't have enough followers on

I agree. I hate the "all talk and no bite" talks .. we can argue to death about every single point, but we need some execution, even if it's to disprove a hypothesis “Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration!” - Edison

Seconded. Imho the person at the top has to really understand their product, and understanding the capabilities and shortcomings your product includes understanding the competitive landscape. Even if he doesn't compare his phone to iPhone,

I think there's something to be said about the value of impatience as well. Wanting to pick up a golf stick today and be Tiger Woods is what makes you walk in the store and pick up that stick - then go to the driving range. Otherwise surfin

I used django-socialregistration and recommend it. It has generic support for any OAuth (Twitter is one), OpenID, and FacebookConnect. http://github.com/flashingpumpkin/django-socialregistration I've only used the Twitter-OAuth part of it

Hmm .. so this is a sales / lead generation problem right? * Just to look at today's solutions - have you tried digging LinkedIn real hard to find the person with the right title? Knowing the exact title or "path" on LinkedIn would quickly
