It seems like a nice idea, although I don't fully understand it. Where does the mobile part come in? Do I post ads from my phone, or do I receive replies via SMS. I think foreign markets are really under-served when it comes to services lik

Congratulations guys. You guys have been around for quite a while, and even though I thought you weren't going to make it this long, you've seemed to have pushed through and convinced some top quality VCs that you're in it for the long haul

This recent effort of Lacy's is very irritating. What the hell even qualifies as 'trying to change the world'? Is there some threshold of number of individuals a service must be used by in order for it to be qualified as world changing? The

I'm willing to bet that there is a huge overlap for iPhone and Twitter users, and for that subset, Tweetie can most definitely be considered a killer app. I get what you're trying to say with them mentioning a killer app be geared towards t

A good read, but the article makes it sound like Seth was some kid who hadn't the slightest idea of anything business, kept trying, and finally hit jackpot with Meebo, when in fact, his CrunchBase profile says he "worked in IBM’s mergers an

Awesome. I've tried getting into Live before, but the interface was a bit too different for my tastes. Everyone I speak to says great things about it though, and how it handles sampling/audio really well. I should give it another go. Congra

Great stuff. That's the kind of stuff I'd love to be able to make. I just really haven't gotten a hang of things that well yet. How long have you been doing this for? Do you have any resources that helped you along the way, other than just

I don't know of any service that does that, but I've been toying around with a similar idea for some time - a service that helps students rent textbooks from others, make deposits, track who's renting my books, etc. Students would then comp

I can't emphasize the body language part enough. A lot of the time, and I have been guilty of this, people go on and on about a project they're working on, even when they sort of notice the other party not interested, hoping that the person

Yeah, it really saddens me. As an Egyptian, I grew up watching old Egyptian movies my parents always had running on the tv, and still do. I would see the Nile in all it's glory, flanked on both edges by beautiful rows of palm trees, etc. I

Often times, companies have no choice but to raise money up front. Tesla and Facebook had to, and both seem to be well on their way to changing the way we behave environmentally and socially. Also, I really really really do not understand a

It'd also be just as nice for you to apply your commenting skills strictly to pen and paper instead of using your monitor, computer, and internet to waste energy by the second. But even then, you'll be destroying the forests if you used pen

I was speaking more to the relevancy of the original Wired article and this post to an audience of designers, and idsgn readers more specifically, not to us here. But yes, this is a reposting to us, so it's not needed.

They do reference the Wired article. I really don't see anything wrong with it. It's a design blog, so it's understandable. If I were interested in design, that part of the article would be the most relevant to my interests, and so there'd

I get the casual context, but that's not to say there could still be an imbalance. I do agree with the rest of your comment and will try and not take things a little too literally.

The point of that comment was to what? Refute that there aren't other things more rewarding than HN and dependent on the type of person, having HN be the only thing keeping you from insanity is perfectly fine and healthy? Apologies for soun

I am in no way trying to be disrespectful here, but if you rely on an online forum to keep you from going crazy, you might want to consider restructuring your priorities and workflow to give you a little more time to breathe and enjoy life.

Yeah, quite simple. Ensure that your relationship is built on honesty, transparency, and trust. Be open with her, willing to openly communicate about any topic. Ideally, she should return the same, and thus, would be more than willing to te

Mentioning how you made a cake from scratch and linking to a video of seemingly scientific research claiming an event to happen out of nowhere and for no apparent reason are two completely different things, due to the two completely differe

It's not 'out of nowhere.' It's because we're humans. We're paranoid and reactionary. You wouldn't see that with robots.

Yeah, I get it's injected with lots of drama. It's a TV show, so that should be expected really. I doubt an hour of real-world entrepreneur/VC pitching/negotiations would appeal to the masses, other than us, of course. However, I really do

No Matt, it's not that. It's writing up a story, not having received comments from one party, explaining how you've given the party many chances to comment on the matter, for honesty's sake and the integrity of journalism, yet never conside

I think it's because the final two vowel sounds, 'e' and 'i', are created using the same basic mouth/tongue positions, and thus, to differentiate the two sounds, you exert more force in controlling your muscles. On the other hand, with 'e'
