Got my idea up, hashpic.com. Hundreds of thousands of pics are being submitted to Twitter/etc real time. Get people to #tag the pics, geo location is already there. We do not host the pics, but we classify and help discovery of pics using t

I have a domain and an idea, I pay you $400 and you work on this project and launch it in a month. Revenue is advertising. I own the site/code, you get the revenue from ads up to $400, anything excess is mine to keep. How's that?

I was going to write about something about my own AlphaLab experience, but great advice Don! Btw smackBOTS is now a Top 100 app (free). Going to pen down some thoughts down on that too.

I've had a linode for 2 years and never had a downtime due to them.

Linode has been awesome since I got a VPS through RailsRumble with them 2 years ago. Till this day, I still use Linode and they have the best price for VPS as well as features that you get FOC unlike slice host. And you know what's great ab

Payment should be easily taken care of, paypalx, etc... The only shortcoming is just the speed compared to native apps and of course the missing features that you can't really access through safari.

An AS3 to objective-c framework? If that's the case, I love to talk to you a little bit more. LeftRight Studios, based in Pittsburgh, is my startup and we develop mobile games.

We're hiring a Ruby/Rails engineer to build up an innovative and large scale mobile service focusing on the iPhone now. We're an Alphalab summer 09 company. You will be employee #1. Preferably someone from the Pittsburgh area or East Coast.

Get a template, themeforest had the nicest themes out there for a reasonable price $20 - $40 if you can't even afford that, my suggestion is to launch as is, eye candy doesn't make up for features and functionality. Reddit is an example. I'

Welcome back to US and HN, Jason. Are you transitioning away from SocialMedian? We're building a mobile startup now focusing on the iPhone, love to talk to you if iPhone startup does not scare you away :)

Seriously if they are so hung up on undocumented API calls, they should just implement that check as part of the binary upload process. Run the binary through an automated flagging system. This will not only benefit developers but also c

Same thing here. We just got an update rejected for a line of code that calls an undocumented API within a function that was no where called in the program, dead code and they rejected the update that had an important bug fix that we emaile

Just curious, who is hosting this? Also, lots if good feedback given by others but I especially liked using your service to send invoices, etc. So here's my suggestion, create a developer API and other web applications can use your service

That's pretty typical. Startups get bought out because they start taking market shares away from the 8lb gorilla. If they're wooing them, there's really something wrong there and they should start thinking real hard how to compete and gain

Spot on! My exact thoughts. It would be hard to think of Twitter as a protocol since nothing about Twitter is open except for their API. Google wave would be a more appropriate example for a web service/protocol.

This was also an idea that I was playing around with in 2008. The basis of the idea is that millions of people have knowledge of using a speadsheet but not many of then can develop and launch a web app. So my idea was to provide the missing

We've "grown" a lot as a startup through out AlphaLab. We've also learned a whole lot during AlphaLab and Demo day itself has definitely brought us a good amount of interests and leads. If I get around to it, I plan to write a blog post on
