We're are about to start building a internal commenting system for our web app, so I wish we had access to your beta. Looks good from what I see. May be a little too late (for me) depending on when you let people have access. Side note: as

The thing about weather sites is that they usually overwhelm users with information. 80%+ of the time, a user wants to know, will i need a coat or umbrella today? Or the general temperature. Thankfully, the weather channel has cleaned up fo

We tried PHPFog, but ended up with pagodabox. If you are checking out cloud php platforms, give pagodabox a shot. The ease of deployment and scaling on the fly is crazy simple, I could teach a 6 year old to scale our site up or down to meet

Sadly helpjuice is all kinds of broken right now. Tried to implement it on my site yesterday & today to no avail. Pud, my dev team did a backflip when I crossed this off the todo list. Link at the bottom of our page and done. I look for

While I can kinda agree with what he's saying, I think that if you are going to get loose with titles, you need to have a CEO clearly defined both internally and externally. Someone's ass needs to be be on the line at the end of the day.

As someone who grew up around a few HBS grads (friends' parents), give it a shot. Also, one of my co-founder's parent's went to HBS, it comes highly recommended.

Im probably gonna catch some flack for being a negative nancy- Am I the only one that realizes that all this does is reorganize information on FB? It's pretty and works (slowly), but that's it.

I don't think they will hit their 50M in the next 12 months. Most of the 18-25 yr olds I know use GroveShark at home or are happy with Pandora while on the move (if they are not listening to music they have downloaded.) I just don't see the

Congrats guys, we love the service. TL/DR: They raised a $20M series B from NEA and are touching 10% of the internet's traffic.

The problem is that you cannot categorize the thousands of friends on any social network. No one should or would curate that many connections. As cool as the lists/ circle are, they will be kinda pointless if users are overwhelmed by the mo

We're building off of PHP because we feel most comfortable with it. (Framework: CodeIgniter) Anyone who writes us off for using PHP can get lost.

How does giving customers the option to rent out single room vs their entire apartment not scale? Am I just sleep deprived? Love what AirBnb is doing, but I don't think that article scales.

"Would you hire them? Work with them? Work for them?" - Probably not, maybe, No. They can change how people view them moving forward, but for some odd reason, they keep digging a deep and deeper hole for their reputation.

Does anyone know why they have not decided to focus their energy elsewhere? Why go to the effort to double, triple, or whatever their stake in Facebook when they could cash out and attempt to create wealth else where? I bet there are a numb
