regardless of what oldstrangers is claiming, I think its very possible for Facebook to be unseated especially amongst the hipster, younger, more fickle crowd. I hear people continuously making the claim people don't want to keep creating t

this rant is ridiculous. Just don't use google then, why are you even talking about this. Take action and stop using google products, there are plenty of alternatives in every space that google is.

I'm on the side of less eye candy more speed. I see the page flip as nothing more than eye candy, and would rather do without it.

probably but if not, I imagine missed connections for a college crowd is hardly a innovative or unique idea. Another example of how important execution is.

This is not a question of where but more like how. Just start.. if you're missing technical hire local, outsource, pitch your idea to technical people at meetups or read books and figure out how you can do as minimal as possible on your sk

this is pretty much how all the deal sites work now, like groupon for example. I personally don't appreciate it, but thats why creating fake email accounts or using gmail's filters is necessary.

this is best idea, but I would suggest do something in an area you either have a lot of knowledge in or are passionate in. Because you will that find its very hard and difficult, and will probably not get an easy win.. so you have to be pa

they use oauth. I'm wondering on what permissions they need. In order to send scheduled emails, I don't see the reason to have to have access to all my actual emails. Is this possible ?

There was major uproar from apple about quality issues if they were to allow flash games as standalone apps(not browser). Meaning a major influx of low quality games or apps. I'm surprised a framework like this doesnt bring up the same con

Usually this is a problem, of what can you do for them more than what can they do for you. Your biggest issue as you pointed out is adoption by retailers, and if really they have a problem with giving out coupons.

build or update your product, putting it out, testing and validating assumptions, stick with it until you find traction or have hit some wall, pivot, rinse repeat.

I believe on the smart mobile apps area it works a little differently. I've seen apps like Fring, Tango, and Textplus.. all appear on the top of the apps market, and what appears to be significant downloads. I think in general people will

I'm not familiar with BBM , but it appears Kik works for Iphone, Android and Blackberry. The only significance I can see between using something like IM client, available on all these clients, is letting you know if message was read or not

Well for the most part I agree, and like all other sites HN has attracted an audience different from its initial core users. This happens to all communities as I see it. No way to prevent it, just ask Digg. I think a good idea would be f

i googled but unable to find link. Can you provide a link where they stated the iphone 3G is no longer supported, they stated features would not be supported but not the phone itself. Major release features of 4.1 was to support 3G.

Can we admit now that fragmentation is going to be a problem for everyone and Apple is not immune to it.

scribd does do HTML5 and flash. They do provide an api, but I'm not sure how useful, then get embed code.

Being responsible and watching your balance, and paying a scheduled monthly fee is not difficult to manage. Banks allow for scheduled payments as well, its a one time setup. I think the being responsible and holding people accountable to

As much as I admire these guys.. The same reasons that people got themselves into unmanageable credit card debt are the same reasons why using a service like this wouldn't work. The main way people get out of debt is to declare bankruptcy

just root and put vanilla android on yourself. I don't see what issue is.

author was able to develop without having access to hardware, and the product looks great. I imagine they will make lots of money with it.

Why not have the 40% dev continue on old site, and maintenance. While have the rest work on the new site, but at the same time allocating resources as needed. I can almost guarantee that the redo will take longer than what you are plannin

sounds like nothing more than a todo list. You first have to figure out how to convince people to enter in tasks and things to do regularly, which is a problem with any todo list.
