It definitely stems from both factors you mentioned. No one really knows who Dustin is and he's established a brand as a person who aspires for the best and is very opinionated . For better or for worse, most commenters only really know tha

If I understand you correctly, you're saying Dustin's reputation can negatively affect the prospects of Svbtle. While Dustin's brand own brand spills over into Svbtle's, I think the network's prospects can be sufficiently differentiated fro

by nchlswu 14y ago
That's fair, but I feel like the majority of comments I've read through appear that the poster cannot separate the prospects of Svbtle with their perception of Dustin and his brand. Those aren't critics. They're haters.

Even if it was a financially/revenue-independent blog network, it's an issue. It was never an artistic -- it was always a branding issue.

Strictly referring to new media as an independent content creator, I think the statement does apply. Building the community and relationships gives you the ability to monetize much easier. However, I do agree with you on the broader point.

I had a strange issue with my Amazon account a while back where I couldn't log in and when I finally could, all my account history was lost. I can't recall if it was my mistake (I've used dot-emails before), but this definitely reminds me o

as mentioned in some other replies, probably to legitimize it. As the author mentioned, they allowed the item to be shipped to a new address. If I'm not mistaken, a dot-email would be considered a new Amazon account, thus with no address as

Spot on. Such assessment doesn't answer my personal question about why so many people are fixated with emulating, comparing and flat out copying Svbtle. Dustin outlined some very cool design decisions when he first introduced Svbtle, but th

It (from a screenshot) looks exactly like the Windows 8 Mail app, which is an interesting consequence of going "full metro" I'm very curious how fully functional it is.

All the author did was list a bunch of items that apparently make American Giant great, but there was story or thesis to the post. All of the remarks regarding quality like slim fit, 100% Cotton, side panels with stretch are not unique to A

I love the spin. This is a non story. This is how invention and innovation works; multiple parties come up with the same idea. Not to mention that the idea of augmented reality glasses has probably been a childhood dream for many.

I see what you're getting at, but some of your examples don't help your case. Whenever someone refers to something being "obvious" it can always boil down to a philosophical question of what obvious actually means. Nothing is truly obvious,

Sure, you can use Win8 without "Metro," but the live tile display still replaces the start menu. There are lots of unnecessarily buried system interactions that require using Metro.

> No Pixels, No Pixelation I find this statement a bit disingenuous. While the images might not pixelate, they will clearly degrade as you enlarge the image. They specifically state they get great results up to two feet wide in pitch bl

in their pilot, they used a "Credit" system. I think it worked out to a couple bucks a package. The service is free till the end of 2012. I imagine partnering with shipping companies is in the works. If I recall correctly, the founders are

I'm not sure if it's transitioned to a Square-based app yet. If I recall correctly, details around the partnership were slim. In the short term, it meant that Square would process all of Square's payments on the backend. Square app-integrat

Some of the comments criticising stripe-only and lack of Interac support, seem a tad hyperbolic. While these are valid concerns, Stripe transactions are still accepted and I'm sure there's a decent chunk of places using stripe. By the time

At least for existing apps, they've scaled down the effective, physical size of all elements. I'm very interested in how screen text and existing iPad apps look. I'm sure they've done some testing but the readability aspect concerns me a bi

based on the copy, It looks like Apple is locking Windows users out? I don't see why a Quicktime on Windows wouldn't work though... EDIT: Based on other replies in the thread, it doesn't look like they're doing that.

He's commenting more on the fact that SV seems to be the only place for startups to thrive. There's lots of opportunity at "home". in a way, it's in line with your desire to advise SV guys to leave their cozy warm place. You may feel "safe"

I love the concept of this product, especially in the context of contact exchanges and "business card replacements." If implemented and adopted by the masses, something like this embraces the digital realm without forgetting the physical.

I'm not familiar with the implications of not sending the referer data. Can be interpreted that not sending the referer, and thus the decision to use the SSL version is in anyway malicious in intent (almost like what the author is implying
