Thank you -- that makes sense. Do you know how many founders there were in addition to the 200 employees in that survey?

Great advice, but alas, I am not in a position to do that at the moment due to prior commitments. I'm interested in learning as much as I can right now so that when the time is right I'm as prepared as I can be.

What an ambitious, innovative idea--nice work. I don't understand (even after looking at the How it Works page) is how it works. Since you can't predict what types of injuries that are going to come in that are more critical than yours, how

The first thing that comes to mind reading this is the emphasis Americans tend to place on skinny, Barbie like figures. We see it everywhere from the checkout counters at the grocery stores to the commercials on TV. Most women will never lo

You bring up a good point: You can't easily make a verb out of their company name. There's no "Just Google it"... Fail: "Just Wolfram it..." or "Just Wolfram-Alpha it" A small point, maybe, but I wonder how much better they could have done

Great idea! Few recommendations: Move the search box to a more prominent position, either to the top of right column or above the domain name list. Like someone else said, move the "Go" button next to the search box so there's a smooth tra

Can't say what the demographics are of the ones who completed these HITS, but of the people that complete the polls, something like 80%+ are US.

Thanks for the pointer. I've been working with Dreamhost to fix the Internal Server Errors, which plague the site. Next time no shared hosting.

Great points and you're absolutely right. It is a big deal--half the posts in this thread are about how slow the site is. Even now when I load the home page it occasionally says page not found. I'm losing visitors and missing out on poten
