Congratson a great site. It's useful and interesting. No, don't invest much more into it and no, it can't be a business. It's a super niche site intended for a supernniche audience. You've proven that you can go from idea to production,

HN has a lot of young inexperienced, overconfident people eager to ridicule you and your idea. It's good for technical feedback, but not great for support or business feedback. I thnk the poster did the exact right thing.

1 is really good, 2 is a solution looking for a problem and i doubt it will scale. Idea 1 could be huge, because right now, there is no central gift certificate web site. It's a really good idea, but absolutely requires a good quality dom

Double down on BOSS, open up monetization and let 1,000 niche search engines bloom (yahoo monetization is a nightmare right now). Double down on YUI, support niche deal sites. Start a venture fund and make seed 100 $1M seed investments in

Congrats on launching something. Ignore the haters. I have to agree with iampims, people will give this 10 seconds before moving on, and it's just not clear what it is for. I would recommend fixing your tagline as a first priority so pe

Yeah, but this problem already exists on WordPress comments for example. People are free to add whatever link they want with their comments. I don't think a Glen Beck link is spam, (though I do personally think he's a gimmick).

i definitely have to add country codes for localization. the reason i'm using pictures is because everyone some of the challenges are from photos, but i grabbed a bunch of royalty-free clipart for the seed data. a few of my early testers

i only collect answer data for the purposes of improving responses, nothing else. (not a huge fan of luis von ahn, for reasons i'll keep to myself).

yeah, the ads right now are low quality, but remember, the ads are revenue shared with the blogger. so it's a way to monetize your comments. if it gets traction, i'll be experimenting with deals, coupons, localized offers, etc. the curre

right now there is a set of seed data on there. there will hopefully be new challenges being entered every day, then i plan to use a quarantine, IP logging, etc. strategies to prevent catalog attacks. this is crowd sourced, so ihope to ha

the human in charge of maintaining that challenge will see answers come in and decide to accept them. If you sign up for an account, you'll get a dashboard, which shows you stats on all of your challenges, how many impressions you have, et

The human submitters get to see what answers people have submitted. So, they can see that you typed "yellow car" and then decide if that is a legitimate answer. It's all crowd sourced. If you submit a challenge, you OWN that challenge, a

I added FB to Pikk and saw a mild uptick in signups. You also get the benefit of using users real names and images. It took about 4 hours of work or so to get it live. Hope this helps. Kevin
