It's too early to write this blog post. Arrington tried to manufacture a happy medium between not saying anything and outing every person at the meeting. Not outing everyone implies you're not entirely sure. Not being entirely sure, yet tal

Certainly the only time I've cited a movie trailer quote in this context: "If you were the ones who invented facebook, you would've invented facebook ."

People will eventually trust it based on how often others "fool around" with the app. I don't see any great reason to input fake crushes, so I'm not anticipating this being a huge problem, but I could be wrong. Previous services emailed you

This and other crush-matching apps aid with these issues by eliminating the chance that you could be rejected. CrushTease isn't really novel in this sense, other apps provided a medium so rejection won't happen, but there was no "happy medi

What I meant was that past services that tell both people make the relationship a little flat. Flirting becomes a little pointless, which is no fun. In the instance you specified, she is still uncertain as to whether he knows she's interes

There is a limit to the amount of people you can crush, it's set now at 20. Thoughts on this number?

Thanks, I appreciate your help, it definitely progressed my outlook on the concept by getting a fresh perspective, especially from someone who knows the field well.

This seems like great advice, or at least it's working out for me. I had the money before college to consider not going, but I never seriously considered it. If you get into a decent school, which most technically inclined people don't have

This would make sense, society tends to disfavor the different, as the tendency to "do what others do" is so deeply ingrained that anyone different in a less than obviously beneficial way is outcasted. If you're talking about the "mad geniu

Interesting, but the practical use of such a deck is negligible. Winning hands don't have an absolute value in poker, but are only worth the amount your opponent values his own second-best hand. I suppose the greatest benefit from this type

While you'll certainly be able to outsource the calls, when customer service is the service, you need to make sure to get good callers. Hopefully this is doable for low enough wages to make a good profit.

How has quora done so far? Would they consider themselves a huge success, mild success, etc?

Exactly, this is very relevant. The type of person who stumbles upon your web app is isn't necessarily the type of person who decides a good use of their time is completing mechanical turk tasks. But as long as you're aware of this when con

I vote for phone. It just has a different definition now, in a generation or so nobody will even remember that it was originally something used solely for voice conversations.

Yeah I was wondering about this, surely they didn't have 145 million "users" as in "created accounts", which is typically the definition. I imagine someone who checked the website once is part of their "user" tally.

I'm surprised that anyone willing to risk a mission to mars wouldn't be satisfied with the glory alone of attempting such a mission. I suppose the religious reasons are what would motivate people to want this.

So you're saying that the founders should be wary that VC's aren't as risk-averse in this sense?

I don't think it's necessary to disagree with a certain amount of someone's work- it's more important to be able to explain exactly why you agree with or don't agree with someone. This is what really prevents you from being the proverbial

How many emails per day would be the minimum for it to be worthwhile?

Yeah, I think I agree with this more. My guess would be that those with profound intellectual abilities gravitate towards fields with more "concrete complexity"- the math/science type careers that demand a considerable raw intelligence to h

It seems like once more people are using tablet devices like the iPad, these apps will skyrocket. Understandably, there aren't many right now because owning a tablet isn't yet a necessity.

This is a cool idea, I haven't seen something like this that's all encompassing. Ted.com is huge for talks within it's sphere, but for talks in general (as opposed to the more broad "videos in general" (youtube) this seems ideal.

Isn't the fact that you are interested in something motivation in itself? In school, you're required to take tests, an extrinsic motivator that implies your life will be better later if you buckle down and learn things you might not particu
