I'd say it's worth it. It won't take long. Try and do what you can to squeeze out some SEO juice, throw in Google analytics, and an email field; see if you get any hits or email addresses.

For the Facebook bra color meme, I think the mysterious nature of it all helped give it momentum as many people didn't quite understand what was going, leading people to either post a color to mock the situation or ask around to find out wh

I hate to be 'that guy' who's always putting down Andriod, but there are a few 'features' listed here that make me think Google just doesn't get how customers actually use their phones. The cube menu interface seems really impractical, and

Well, posting this here will definitely generate a bit more traffic for you. I've been looking for an economics-centered version of HN for the past few weeks, and seeing as how newmogul isn't being run anymore, your site becomes an appealin

The teaming system seems interesting. But, I just finished going through their book 'Getting Real' and a lot of what they're aiming for in the blog post seems to go somewhat against the principles they outline in the book. In the book, they

I've been searching for something like this for a long time and haven't found anything similar to BBM. I do use an app called WhatsApp ( http://www.whatsapp.com/ ) which gives you free text messaging capabilities via your 3G connection; so

Congrats! That's great news. How'd that partnership come about? Did they contact you, or the other way around?

That doesn't always hold. If a submission on security came and tptacek commented, I'd probably upvote his comment knowing that he's pretty damn well versed in that field.

Let's relax a bit and cut the dramatics. I do it mostly, and not all that often, to increase the turnover rate on the front page. And when I say 'I do it mostly', I mean upvote others' submissions without giving them a proper read. Stories

Yes and no. Yes in that submissions do not rise solely based on their quality and merits. But no in that I have seen many many submissions, specifically Ask HNs, fall right through the 'new' page without an upvote. So I'll upvote them after

The assisted braking 'feature' where the system moves your calipers closer to your rotors sounds really stupid and dangerous. When I press the brakes, I am expecting a buffer period between initial contact with my pedal and the actual decel

I came expecting points addressing ATTs shortfalls in service, and how they plan on improving. That's not what I got, unfortunately.

We're targeting churches, and those who work there aren't that technically savvy, so I think offering phone support would help quite a bit.

Yeah, I should've included that as a third point. We get Arabic television stations at home that I'll watch to try to read headlines, etc, for practice, but the font changes so drastically from show to show that I often find some letters un

Arabic is a hell of language to learn. Even as an Egyptian born in a semi-Arabic speaking house, and in the middle of trying to teach myself the language, I'm finding Arabic really difficult to learn. My two main problems are: a) Many words

Is there a tutorial you could point me to that'll teach me how to make buttons with a style similar to that 'Play Now' button?

Ah, I was rooting for you guys. I really was. But you played this in the most unwise way. You are nothing more than a speck on the bottom of Microsoft's foot. You're not even a gnat causing them the tiniest bit of annoyance. It's harsh, but

I've always found the use of $ when referring to Microsoft to be really really childish, and weird when I see people here, who are presumably mature adults, doing the same.

So, my experience was the complete opposite to his. Had Facebook not forced me to view my privacy settings, I probably never would have. The settings they suggested were quite conservative and I definitely didn't feel as if they were trying

You do know that probably most of Etherpad's users aren't their peers, yeah? So to them, they've just lost a really great service.

I'm sorry, but every time I have checked out a G Phone or the Droid and tried to scroll through their menus, I am both thoroughly disappointed at how jerky it is and a bit shocked that for some reason, no other company has been able to pull
