Awesome, what's the site? I'll look out for it.

We'd love to know what you think of it as a concept, and if you'd want to use this for your own site. Also, love to hear about any other features you'd like, other types of game dynamics that we might employ. We're trying to figure where to

The point is to provide this functionality for other sites. We're using ourself to launch ourself. Once we're out of beta, you won't need to do the referrals. We think it's a good way to create hype about your new startup.

We do that so that you can't game the system with the same email address. + are invalid.

Ya, sign on up and refer some friends. ;) We're letting people into the WYSIWYG editor in the next few days. We've got the first few sites built on our platform launching soon (hopefully tonight). We're also creating a widget for you to use

Hoping to have something ready for consumption this coming week. Analytics are on the roadmap. We'll probably have some basic stuff baked in with the initial release.

We're doing a number of things to combat gaming including cookies, double opt-in and potentially some external email verification through a third party service. We're definitely, definitely thinking about it.

I'm one of the guys behind LaunchRock. While we're not planning on open sourcing it, we'll be offering this in several forms. One option will be to redirect your DNS to our servers while your launching the form. The other, and perhaps more

Location. I thought they'd be perfect for it, but I think their implementation shows that they just don't quite get it. It doesn't matter to me that someone was at Wawa 15 hours ago.

I can set this up if Gabe wants it. It shouldn't be too big of deal. Gabe, let me know.

Sort of. Twitter and Yammer are great for putting things out there quickly to get feedback or an answer to a question. Private conversations though will always be important. That being said, I often appreciate a DM instead of an email becau

Lets just hope they don't have ridiculous restrictions on embedding.

I've been using the plugin for a few weeks. It doesn't often come into effect (I don't misspell that often), but it is nice to have when I do!

Wow, great idea. They're going to cause their followers to explode overnight which will convert to future sales for them from the Twitter account. Genius.

I love my Macs, but man, I wish they would update on a more continuous basis. I have a 3 month old Mac Mini, and this is pretty frustrating.

I wouldn't say it is the classes though. College transformed me as a person and forced me to grow up. Maybe it helps that I go to Drexel where we have co-op (school for 6 months, work for 6 months, repeat). Anyway, I would not have been pre

I'm glad that I took all of my money out a month or so before the crash and invested it in my start up. My start up might not be successful, but I would have lost it one way or the other. At least this way, it is in my hands.

I am all for being eco-friendly, heck my startup is focusing on helping the green building community, but I'm also for not killing people. We already know radios are distracting. I don't want the guy in the car next to me determining his sp

That's why I love getting my hands on those leaked PDF copies of textbooks. Hope there aren't any publishers on here. ;)
56.
by jaymstr 18y ago
That works often, but a lot of publishers have a fun little trick where they barely change the content but do change the problem sets.

This is a tough one. I sometimes regret choosing to go to college, but it truly changed everything for me. I studied Materials Engineering, and now I'm doing a web startup, but I really believe the college experience, the connections I've m

I hope this happens for my childrens' sake. (Thankfully, that is a long way away.) In addition to being too heavy to haul around, textbooks are expensive and constantly outdated, forcing students to sell them for often 10 cents on the dolla

I'd love to see the numbers to back this up. Gotta love that a company is essentially bribing its customers to quit. They must be pretty bad to justify the $300 bribe.

This is a really interesting Q&A about OpenSocial. We're trying to decide right now if we want to integrate it into our project, http://konnect.me , but I am not sure it is gaining the traction. Facebook not being on board the OpenSoci
