Plain old marketing -- Give the consumer something flattering to identify with. Like the car commercial I saw last night: "It takes a special kind of person to appreciate the <insert car name>. We call them 'Type A People'..." And o

I think a formatting cheatsheet would be quite useful. I was just commenting a few minutes ago, and I wanted to put some rather large URLs in my comment, but I couldn't figure out the markup to link a text string to the URL. (It's just occu

I'm guessing your estimates are correct enough. I doubt the user count for all YC projects exceeds 500,000, and according to http://forevergeek.com/articles/debunking_the_myspace_myth_o... , MySpace has at least 43 million, which by your m

Could you elaborate on what makes the tagworld.com project so "big"? Edit: Also, I find it interesting that on a site so big (I mean MySpace, and thusly, on a site that should have a fair number of smart developers working on it), they ha

How many users does MySpace "run" with, again?

Yes. And "having a life" is overrated, as was noted already. I work 4-5 hours a day on a startup project, and another 4+ on a "real" job to pay the bills. However, I still find plenty of time to spend on things other than work, whether it b

Just a note concerning the <$20/month table, which is all I've looked at thus far: VPSLink's platform is Virtuozzo. And I can't speak for any of their other services, but their $7.95/month service SUCKS.

Why thank you. =)

I'm impressed. :)

This is particularly interesting because I find myself in somewhat the same situation. I've been working on a startup idea ( http://www.scriggle-it.com/ ) with a team that's never taken (or sought) VC funding. The only investment we've put

Switching from the 5 day view to the 3 month view, you tell me what's behind this chart, and I'll be impressed: http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=EURUSD=X&t=3m&l=on&#...

What sort of alternative end users (or possibly uses) would you foresee? There are already quite a few generic mailing list services out there, which is why we're trying to target musicians and build a site centered around fan bases.

If only it didn't cost money. We've also considered newswire press release services, etc., but I'm unconvinced as to how things like that would attract actual users.

A little background: I'm the lead developer on a self-funded Web startup. It's a (mostly) free service to help musicians and bands stay in touch with their fans. I have a lot of confidence in it as a great product. What are some (cheap) way
