ajkohn, I agree completely. What's more, AuthorRank could be Google's best defense and the best cure for faults in their existing search algos. Google works great - mostly. AuthorRank is an improvement to their algos that will be much harde

Good for you, sebastianmarr. As a vegan for 8 years now, I can tell you that there are plenty of good recipes for vegetarians, if you consciously look for them. Also, watch out for this phenomenon: after not eating meat for some time (a mon

How about solving small, but important problems? There are countless examples of people using tech to improve people's lives in a way that matters. Just look at the winners of this year's Microsoft Imagine Cup: http://www.imaginecup.com/bl

The photographers seem to be having a strong community on G+ and G+ is the place where us amateurs can be exposed to their awesomeness. And talented those people are. In the last few months, I have noticed many HN posts linking to Google+ p

Google+ will be successful because it attracts meaningful conversations and motivated users. It took the best from Twitter and Facebook and added its own flair, making it the most contagious, fun and informative social network I have ever p

You're absolutely right. Look at this (real) article I found on the internet, called "What a New York Prostitute Can Teach You About Conversion": http://www.conversionista.com/what-a-new-york-prostitute-can... -> it sounds like a titl

True, but "most files" still doesn't cut it. I have great hopes for the upcoming Google Drive, it would solve many of the problems I'm facing right now in project management (I wrote about it on my blog: http://luckyisgood.com/blog/google-

I've read your blog post with great interest before clicking through to your website. Let me tell you, after reading what you wrote, I expected pricing ranges starting from at least $200 (ok, that could be just me, but still - $50 is waaay

A more advanced version would look like this: Tesco would install digital walls/displays all over the city (country) and control all the displays remotely. The city would earn nice money from renting the display space to Tesco.

Because Google wanted to buy time AND customers. By buying Groupon, Google wouldn't have to spend their own developers' time to create what is now Google Offers. And time is expensive. Time spent on Google Offers was not time spent on, let

Congratulations! You must be very excited, I know I would be. I wonder, did you think about positioning your product for Facebook Page owners only? I guess you could price your product a bit higher then if you did. Or maybe you are aiming a

I remember the first time I discovered this principle. There was a web project I really didn't feel like doing. A big demanding client wanted a project done in a very short amount of time. I quoted at 3x our price, and it was immediately ac

"But as soon as you need money – and people know – you’re hosed." Sales-wise, this is where most companies fail. Their salespeople let buyers know they need money. And as soon as buyers sniff you out, they make you their bitch. If you're a
