   Can you FizzBuzz? While I cannot remember the syntax off the top of my head, I am pretty sure I could write out how to do this in BASIC. I have not had a programming course in 22 years. Maybe there is hope for me.

   Can't this be blocked on a FB level already? I don't see those "FB Connect" boxes anymore. To be honest, I cannot even remember what setting I changed in FB, but it seems to work. (I also have disabled applications and not sure if this make

   Thanks, I hope Andrew is reading this but I am not him. I submitted it because I appreciated the ingenuity and thought HN would as well.

   I can't remember if someone sent it to me or if I saw it on another aggregate suite. Probably the latter.

   Thanks but I should have been more clear--this is not me. I submitted this because it seemed like an idea HM would like and be inspired by.

   Submitter here: This is not my site! I am not the person doing the reverse job application. I stumbled upon the site and thought the mindset was something HN would like and possibly get inspiration from.

   Myspace is a sister company to the WSJ? In theory maybe, but I am sure many folks at the Journal consider Myspace like that strange step-sister you'd rather not talk about. I really don't see Myspace as much if a competitor to FB anymore, e

    Is there a central place on or off HN this will be tracked?

    Ask HN: Tumblr or Posterous, which do you like better and why?

    There is clearly someone in the driver's seat with their hands on the wheel. This one may not have been automated at all but collecting data.

    Am I naive to think your startup should be that good, that great, that unfailing that reporters should find you?

    Honestly, I have not seen a different in FB since this change. Groups look a little different but that is about it. Is it that no one has attempted to add me to any groups without me knowing?

    I would definitely be in, but I can't even code yet. What are your suggestions on going from 0 - launch by the end of November?

    "identical amount of control that you're surrendering." Not at all. If you send me an email without me asking, there is no public effect. One example of how this is bad with groups is what if I happen to be on a job search and someone adds

    "This isn't as bad as it looks. Only your friends can add you into groups" Yes, it is as bad as it looks. If one person can add you to a group without your approval, that's bad.

    What will happen in this group? How will it be useful? (Not meant in a snarky way, I am curious.)

    I did not realize this would be so hard to find, I thought I may be looking in the wrong areas. That looks promising. Thanks very much.

    I have not done so but check out 37signals.com. They are bootstrapped and talk about it in their blog and books. Great work.

    Depending on who it is, I either do it for them or immediately start talking about how much I charge.
