I think he meant if he liked it he'd endorse it, but he was willing to take a look. Not saying the endorsement/voting idea isn't flawed, but that's how I interpreted what he was offering.

Is it appropriate to cold-email people from your endorsement list? Just curious so we don't do anything faux pas. I'm thinking that since it's a worldwide challenge, lots of companies applying won't have any real connection with a lot of th

Thanks, looking over the endorsement info in the FAQ now. Wondering how I might go about finding 2 more by tomorrow and potentially get in for free... (hey, pays to be frugal ;)

I see there's a $199 entry fee. In the music industry there's some controversy over pay-for-opportunity style services (Sonicbids for example, although they say they're phasing that out). For a business this isn't a huge amount, but it's en

Looks pretty close to the standard full-text Mongo example, but nice to see the issues they ran into putting it into real world practice. Looks like a surprisingly capable search for such a simple solution, minus a few things like stemming.

Even a day past the deadline I was thinking we could have said it better, but at some point you have to call it done... We did edit quite a bit at least, and I don't quite cringe at reading it. We've also since honed our idea and it's looki

Thanks! That definitely adds context to the post. It's funny but I can definitely see some people not caring for the type of humour.

It would be good to see the email that caused the ruckus... or did I just miss it in the post?

Definitely inspired by it :) I'm working with a friend to make an interactive music video with it, story-based with some mouse-reacting visual elements and some minor social interaction too.

Looks neat! Gonna check it out this weekend. Plug: I have a similar project for interactive video with HTML5 I just put online the other day: http://www.cacophonyjs.com/

This is a huge idea. Makes me really curious about Color, since Sequoia put $4m into this and a whopping $41m into that... But seriously, Greplin is one of those ideas that as soon as you see it in action you have one of those forehead-slap

Great looking design! Interesting idea, and a cool way to try new things. Will keep an ear to the rail for when you guys start moving North (way North in this case, I'm in Canada :)

So many people I know (my gf included) do this, both buying for themselves or for the men in their lives.

Very cool site! I'd love to see a few more "out-there" patterns.

I remember working on a site for a client, and every week he'd have a new list of things he wanted built based on what his competitor's site was doing. And every week I'd tell him to think about it in a different way, act like the leader, k

This touches on another thing people forget in the world of business: There's room for more than one. We're entering the music startup scene, where there are lots of existing companies, but just because one of them succeeds doesn't mean us

Good point. Depending on brand and even individual shirt by the same brand, I can be a small, extra small, small slim fit, or medium slim fit... sigh Short of inputting your detailed measurements, I wonder how a site can solve that.

Interesting, I love hearing about shopping options for men! There are too few options for us out there, but that's both a blessing and a curse. If you're savvy, it can save you time. Women have more options, but they also have more to sift

Not completely. It does save me from writing the other hundreds of lines, which is more what they mean than a chatroom in 10 loc total. Anything that staves the onset of carpal tunnel for us hackers a little longer is a good deal to me :)

I love all the stuff coming out in the Javascript world lately, especially things making comet-style coding easier. That said, seeing last week's chatroom in 15 loc and this week's chatroom in 10 lines kinda reminds me of the "5 minute abs"

Very nicely put! A have-vs-have-not mindset can creep in easily and get you down on yourself before you've realized it. But so what if someone else has more advantages? I might not have a rich anyone or well-connected anyone to help me, but

Very true. It can be really disheartening to work for praise or acknowledgement from others, because it's an unrealistic expectation that can't be met. That's why I love the "scratch your own itch" philosophy for judging good ideas, helps k

What browser are you using? It plays for me in all browsers on iMac and MacBook Pro, but I've also tested on a bunch of other machines including a pretty old Windows desktop at work. It is pretty CPU hungry at points to be sure. That said,
