   Wouldn't it make more sense for Google to first shut down FeedBurner and then Google Reader? That way Google could ensure all FeedBurner subscriptions in Reader would be replaced A) with the location of the new feed provided by the site own

   Maybe if you compare them side by side, I don't know. When I first saw UI Kit however I immediately thought LayerVault had 'open sourced' their design as it looked so similar. I later learned the kit was created by a 3rd party.

   Is this article about WHAT TYPE OF BUSINESS to run, or HOW TO PRICE IT? I think it's mixing some logic of the two.

   Reminds me of the ElemiDate[1] app (not launched yet): "ElimiDate is a fun and new approach to dating. We all know how girls like getting guys` attention, and how guys are ready to show off to be the only ones in the horizon. This is what E

   You might want to make the newsletter subscription link better visible on your landing page. Took me a few seconds to figure out the first paragraph was a clickable link.

    For anyone else wondering what this API is about: It generates a (random) UUID. According to Wikipedia "the intent of UUIDs is to enable distributed systems to uniquely identify information without significant central coordination. In this

    kjhughes is correct. A lot of these pages are meant to gauge interest. If the market doesn't seem to be there the founders won't launch the product and you'll never hear about the product again. At Beta List we try to be selective and only

    A review can have multiple comments, and should have at least one. So the workflow is as follows: 1. Enter comment. Submit it. 2. Repeat step 1. 3. Submit review. Took me a few seconds as well to figure that out.

    I like this approach. Thing big, but take baby steps. Before you can do this though, you'll need to know which direction you're headed. What is it what you want to achieve? What's the next (physical) step you can take to get closer to that

    The original idea was to build an implicit or 'implied' network with a social graph based on your behavior rather than social graph you manually select yourself (like on Facebook, Twitter, Path, etc). I think that was a pretty big idea, and

    Here's another comparison in case people are interested: http://blog.capography.com/comparing-traffic-from-betalist-w... I should point out the comparison isn't totally fair as in this instance HN traffic is directed to specific blog post

    Interesting idea. Great name. Okay logo. Decent site design (I'd strip all the unnecessary stuff though.) The first thing I asked myself when visiting the site was: do these companies notice? My gut reaction is: probably not. You will want

    Would be fun, although if I hacked a project together I wouldn't have much time to continue with it after the conference (I'm a founder already). Perhaps have people choose between investment or lunch with you or one of the judges.
