agreed. Also check out 'Pro Javacsript Techniques' by John Resig. Read this article on closures which is the best description I have read of such a crucial crucial aspect of the language: http://jibbering.com/faq/faq_notes/closures.html A

Is there a filter on PG so that he doesn't auto win? Kind of like how you weren't allowed to pick Gretzky in hockey pools?

I think the site looks really cool. The only thing that is stopping me from using it is that I have to enter my banking credentials to allow it to access my banking info on its own (nightly). I may decide to sign up in the future, but I am

Hmm, looks pretty cool. Definitely some nice features in there. Im not sure if any of these features have been implemented elsewhere, but I like the fact that it automatically scrapes contact info. That is something I am always to lazy to

I see what you are saying. For example, I posted this link which I think is an awesome read for everyone on hear, and it got squashed: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49579 Read it people, read it! But I don't think there is any karma

oh, I wasn't trying to say that school wasn't useful. I don't think you can argue that school is useful. I was just trying to say that I agreed with pg's point that it depends more on the person, rather than the school.

I liked this article, if for the simple fact that it can only help my cause (I graduated, though not from a prestigious school)! The whole time I was going to school I was super impatient to get done so I could actually get working on somet

Read through all 4 pages. It is a good article. The best quotes: "Maybe failure isn't the problem. Maybe expectation is", "The great thing about surviving a storm is that you're much better prepared the next time the winds start kicking up.

uh, not that my above comment was to say that all CMSs are bad. What I meant, was that like everything else, they have a time and a place. I checked out Pagety and liked it

Ive had to use Joomla in the past, and I agree with you. I hated it. A CMS is good to get you kick started, after all who wants to build another boring login script? But if you are serious about your app, I think you have to roll your own.

I watched the demo video. Congrats on what looks to be an easy to use user interface. The kind of app you are making is the type where the ui pretty much makes or breaks the entire thing. You seem to have pulled off a fairly good one

If you are looking for some of that, another excellent read is the book "Dont Make Me Think" by Steve Krugg.

Good points. Actually I did the same thing with "Da Vinci Code". After like 3 years of avoiding reading it, I finally broke down to read just because it stuck around so long. "How To Get Rich" by Felix Dennis is another good read related to

yeah, let's face it. You ALWAYS have to assume there is someone else out there doing the same thing you are doing. That shouldn't sway you though. The point is to do it better than them. Reading pg's book has great (and funny) commentary on

why not. I personally love the discussion around news. From what I read, Google is only allowing comments from those related to the news article somehow. Could be a good means for more follow-up. Though, Im curious as to how well that is go

I agree. The way I see it, is you don't apply to YC for the money at all. What you get out of it is connections and access to some of the best minds in the industry who have been there and done that (though of course, I am not speaking from
