That's the nicest compliment the site could have received. Appreciate it --

Unless you've looked through all of the current 10K+ domains on the site, you can't really say that :) There are actually a lot of decent ones out there...

Thanks. No feed available yet and because of the way the site tracks popularity, that may never be an option. At some point I will add the ability to sort by specific dates and for people to "mark as read" domains for that date, allowing yo

It's funny, I must have changed it about fifty times. It's amazing how many variations you can get on the same phrase. For example: - "We help you find an unregistered domain name for your website" - "We help you find unregistered domain na

Membership, affiliates, and maybe some quality ads. There's a lot of options down the road depending on how things go.

Yeah, I know :D Here's a start: 1) You don't have to type in any keywords, you can just browse and see what you like. Soon I'll add the ability for people to generate lists based on keywords similar to those other sites, but I wanted to get

Thanks for the feedback and I understand your critiques. The 10 most popular were only elevated to that level from people testing out the site (all of those were on the front page when people were testing it). I don't think they accurately

Eventually, do everything they do better (and more).

Yeah, good question. There's a tradeoff between adding less domains but making them of a higher quality and adding more domains but risking that some are of poor quality. At first, I was religiously nixing the bad ones, but I realized it wa

The short of it: Domain Pigeon helps you find unregistered domain names for your websites. Please let me know what you think. The long of it: In March of last year I was in the process of writing some poker software and trying to decide o

Some thoughts: Maybe write a script that goes through the web, starting with Wikipedia, and intelligently extracts facts from sentences. From there, pass it along to Mechanical Turk folks to gauge whether or not it makes sense. You could ch

I'm in a very similar situation. We use Microsoft's Enterprise Information Management at my work. It was rolled out about a year ago and is now primarily used as a replacement for storing files. I started playing around with it and discov

Yes yes, you're right. What I meant was that you have to be internally motivated . You can't be the type of person who has to have people tell you to do things in order to get them done. Feedback from your customers is very important and i

"check company IRC, say good morning, make sure nothing’s on fire yet" etc etc The thing I get from this whole post is that the author lacks passion for his work. His tone makes his work sound like some terrible chore that he's forced to

Not a podcast, but something you should absolutely listen to if you haven't already: Bill Bryson's A Short History of Nearly Everything http://www.amazon.com/Short-History-Nearly-Everything/dp/076... It's by far the most entertaining, en

When you read, what percent of the information do you think you actually retain? I acknowledge that might be the wrong way to look at it though. The unconscious mind probably picks up a lot more than we think and that knowledge enables us t

With $1.0 billion you could invest $10K into 100,000 startups or $100K in 10,000 startups. Surely you could change the world, leave a legacy, and simultaneously generate a profit on that kind of investment, no? Why doesn't somebody do this?

Thank you for sharing -- unfortunately this thread wasn't as popular as I imagined it would be... lesson learned.

Appreciate it. The recent HN submission of Gladwell's 96 article on the scientific study of consumer shopping patterns is what prompted this post. It sounds like this guy used similarly meticulous methods.
