Faster growth than Twitter, and hiring php hacker. I would be knocking these guys' doors down.

Oh 37Signals. I can't figure you guys out sometimes. One day, you're telling people to be happy with small niche markets. The next, you're on a soapbox preaching about $170 million exits as merely "bending over." Make up your minds.

had a fun time living in the hacker house this summer, the house was pretty quiet during the day since most people worked at funded start-ups with offices. that allowed us to concentrate during the day, and throughout much of the night.

i think the cost is the surprising factor about this story. taken from the site you posted: Q:How much did it cost? A:The system that is presented is a little over-engineered for historical reasons as well as for future expansion and test

i don't recall reading where he claims it will sell more. you're defending status quo on this, but in reality, i'm sure zappos had to try a lot of different things to get where they were. so did a lot of companies. and yet you're criticizin

This is really exciting news; traditionally the carriers have been a bit closed in nature, and this represents a healthy step forward for people like myself who use and enjoy Loopt. Look forward to seeing this technology progress!

you're not crazy, this would make for a good read. it's like founders at work, but improvised and down in the trenches. we have a tent you can borrow for a few nights if you'd like, won't charge. look up the palo alto hacker house and if

so you're saying that people can be controlled because they lack the foresight to understand that some reviews could be fake in any given iphone application? i think that's called ignorance.
