Still, what I'd like most from an open encyclopedia project is a simple, stable API. There are external projects bringing this to Wikipedia, but Google (API frontrunners that they sometimes are) don't have this at all. Hope they add it so

What about a means of pulling updates from the GitHub gem server over to RubyForge? Or a hook in GitHub that ties gem publishing into RubyForge? Seems there are a number of ways to solve this problem with just a little collaboration betwee

While I'm at it, a few feature suggestions: * Export playlist in standard format for external players. * Need a way to share playlists with friends (sharethis.com or addthis.com?). * Post playlist onto other sites (Facebook app for example)

One more thing (minor bug report): I selected a song in a 2nd search but it added one from my first search instead when I saved the playlist (I clicked songs from 2 searches for my first playlist).

Search is a bit slow ATM, but selection seems good already. I didn't think I had to click 'Save Playlist' after clicking the pluses, maybe it would be better to auto-save the first one or create a default 'Untitled' and ask you to name it.

That's sort of what we're aiming to do at http://www.dojolearning.com/ - longer term anyway. We're starting off by hitting the business market first, which is more open to change and not as tied to the existing learning systems, but we d

Us too! (and I'm sure many others on here as well) On a side note, a business idea could be simply to offer a "we review x for $y in 1 week" set price system. Marketing Express, like 37signals used to offer an express design service of 1 f

In my mind, a facebook app would be part of a wider strategy, such as integrating your external service into facebook to drive additional use of the core service. It didn't seem like many facebook apps on their own made that much sense, es

The iPhone packages are still crap, and they haven't changed at all. This is a BS ploy, plain and simple. Ugh... Back to the stone age for us...

Much appreciated! I just finished moving all of my projects onto GitHub and I couldn't be happier. Of course, I was formerly ball-and-chained to CVS which was just awful, so anything is an improvement. But GitHub really does take things up

Definitely. Any more than one and you're setting yourself up to fall. How I've managed to put dual focus into two projects for a while (startup and my main company) is to focus solely on one for a certain length of time, then switch to the

Thanks! We're definitely looking to completely revamp the public lesson browsing with a more complete experience for users. I agree that tagging like you describe is the best approach there. For our "1.0" launch we're focusing more on the l

I was just checking them out myself! It seems lots of services are using that same homepage layout, which works very well. Maybe we should give it a try...

We're working with a couple companies who we're working on getting some case studies and testimonials from. Soon, hopefully :) I totally agree on that one. As for the pause button, we're working on improving the flash soon too. I'm more of

We've been using it with a small group so far, but we haven't officially (publicly) launched yet no.

I'm resubmitting since this didn't get any notice last time around. Hopefully timing is better this time :) We're about to launch our new startup, but wanted a bit of feedback from our fellow startup-starters in the HN community. Our idea c

Thanks for the comment! Maybe our marketing is off in describing our service. I'll try to describe it better and maybe that will help show where it's off. Where our idea is different is that we're not just offering video upload or a quick h

We've found a brief interview where you can ask what they thought of certain things was very helpful afterwards too. We also do usability on the cheap, using ScreenFlow (varasoftware.com) which is only $99 compared to $1500 or so for Morae,

Thanks for the link. The info on the site wasn't quite clear on exactly how calculations are made or how the process works. Can you explain a bit better for us? For example, is the $9.95/month a flat-rate regardless of traffic or do you

Another question I didn't include in the original post but is also important: Are the carbon certificate issuers worth trusting? I'd definitely want to do some research on any company I potentially invested money into for something like thi

$200-300 for creating the next Facebook or "build in the Cloud" whatever that means. This sounds spammy to me.

Regarding #1, there's definitely no complete winner out there yet so being on all of them is the best a band can do. Services like cdbaby.com propagate your tracks to dozens of such services (44 in all currently including iTunes, amiestree
