I'm unclear on what you mean by "sell idea". Do you literally mean that you want to tell someone your (non-patented) idea for money and then they build the company and you walk away? That does not happen. No one is going to pay just to h

If you can come up with something that is catchy, memorable and available that is the ideal. That is easier said than done. With the domain market the way it is, you do the best you can. All of your proposals sound like suitable domains

Is this any different from the other crushed-based Facebook apps? I've seen about 10 of these posted on HN and none of them stick out as unique.

If you are competent and willing to work for equity rather than a large salary, a startup will hire you. Unless they have "Color level funding", a startup does not have the ability to be too demanding on the formal qualifications. Take ad

I'd really like it if these FB apps had screenshots of what the service actually looks like. If I came across this organically, it would not inspire enough curiosity to grant oauth access.

I enjoyed the article but I'd like to applaud you for submitting the mobile version of the article. It was a far better experience than the desktop version which I did click through to for comparison.

Dig the anti war message of these type of posts but in reality, we should have just not borrowed/printed the money at all. All of this supposed opportunity cost is nonsense.

I'm sure we all have ideas that we consider "decent" on a daily basis but just don't have time to explore further. This is a really cool way to offload some of those ideas.

I hate when April Fool's jokes turn out to be better ideas than other serious ideas.

I know it is the Internet and I should be used to it now but when the first two words of the title are there purely as snark to rile up fan boys, I really lose interest in the article.

Also, if you middle mouse click on photos (which is my natural style of browsing), you view them in the traditional non-lightbox way.

Cool idea, seems like facebook makes their recommendations based only on mutual friends, which is great for connecting to other friends or people in your network. This interest based approach would do a better job of meeting brand new peop

Anyone else find it humorous that the title says something does not scale and when you click its a 404?

From a guy's perspective, alerting them to a match means "We've got a near guarantee of repeated sex with someone you find attractive". Most guys would pay more than 5 bucks for that but $5 is a fair starting number.

Also, people might dig it if you could filter out family members from the list of people to pick from.

If you go with your first model, you are creating more a lottery. The second model ties payment to the more valuable reward of an actual match. It might not happen that often but if you go with this model, you are betting that your app wil

Maybe this is because I do not have an MBA but I'm completely confused why a well known (near household) name brand with a .com domain name would switch to o.co, which no common person would even recognize as a web address if they saw it wi
