The inverse is sadly still true. 49.61% of our visitors used IE in the last 30 days. 10M+ uniques, predominantly users in schools.

TechCrunch: "Cloudkick Now Managing 1 Million Servers" Cloudkick Blog: "...we've just hit 1,000,000 servers registered all-time in Cloudkick." Those statements aren't even close to equivalent. The HN guidelines say it well: Please subm

Remove ?sexy_title from the URL and you get: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1734510 Flagged. I hold out hope that the difference between a 12 point story and a 120 point story on HN is not a sexy title.

I just read the first 100 messages in my Gmail spam box. Five had unsubscribe links that were highly suspicious -- misleading .ru domains and GET parameters that could not possibly identify me. Four had links that were paired with US addr

Snarky comments were running through my mind, but I credit them for being reasonably up front about the uncertainty of radiation risks. The first item under under Radiation -> Health Risks starts with: What is the impact of everyda

Thanks for hard numbers. Can you describe in general terms what kind of startup you're in? How many years from nothing to now?

There's some really interesting data in there. I am having trouble understanding what "Monthly Expenses" means. For San Francisco it's over $14K. Too much for an average person, too little to be the aggregate expenditure of all Mint user

We tried to buy one today. Sold out on the Virgin website. Aside from that, I'm thrilled to see Virgin nuke the wireless data market. Pogue is right on -- other providers are charging outrageous prices for this service.

tl;dr? Go back and read it. This is a smart, honest, and detailed look at startup failure. It's also very well cross-referenced with valuable articles for founders.

Wikispaces.com does 9M uniques and 75M pageviews a month per Google Analytics. Quantcast says 1.4M uniques, Compete says 900K. Neither trend in the right direction. Alexa is comically low on pageviews and maybe 6x low on reach when we com
