I went back to finish by degree after a few years in the work force and while it has been tough it's definitely been rewarding. It certainly hasn't stopped me pursuing the startup life and over the last three years I've worked on a bunch of

What country are you from? I'm trying to think of an accent that would make it sound like "audioso"...

I'll also add that I've been looking for something like this for a client so I'll make sure I check both products out FWIW.

This kind of surprises me. I had naively assumed that it wasn't all that difficult to get an article on Techcrunch. How did you "reach out"?

I agree with the opening sentence. There really are some amazing tech companies doing great things in Australia that don't get enough recognition. In the last fortnight I've met a couple of these serial tech entrepreneurs including Julian H

When I first saw Divvyshot (YC09?) I thought that it was more of a feature than a startup. And I guess I was kind of right because Facebook eventually bought the company - the incredibly talented company led by Sam Odio. I'm sure that if Fa

This is all really helpful, thank you. Other suggestions I've had are "excel" and Behance's "Action Method".

I don't think he's saying it's necessarily bad to sell domain names but I think the intention here is to help out your fellow hackers. If you've got a domain you're not using and a member of this community can make use of it I think that's

I really like your determination here. Sales might not have come rushing through the door but you've persisted and changed tack where you needed to in order to make it a success. Keep at it!

on that note checkout 750words.com. Basically you write 750 words a day and it analyses the text to tell you about what you have written - whether it's extroverted, self-centred, positive etc. These stats are then displayed with nice graphs

I think this is fairly short sighted - they've got a lot of people to lose before they become irrelevant and they're still in a growth curve.

Crappy design + too much irrelevant advertising + incredibly slow load times. The next version definitely needs to take the best elements of all of those services but initially it needs simplicity and I think the Sixty One guys are almost t

This article isn't about the fact that he quit his job or how he went about it, it's about challenging the norms of society and not just accepting them. I think it's this naivety that let's many entrepreneurs, young and old, think that they

I'll also add that I really like working with people who I can consider my equals or who are better than me. To give someone who is as good as me or better a lesser equity share when we're both pushing hard for the same thing doesn't make s

My advice from little experience is to split shares equally three ways rather than based on number of hours. The startup should be everyones primary focus regardless of hours logged. If your business guy swings a huge contract that makes yo

"they don't seem to have much of a plan" Considering Evan William's success with Blogger and Jack Dorsey's early success with Square I think it would be disingenuous to think that they don't have plan just because they're not broadcasting i

I worked on a startup in this space for about 6 months last year which might explain if my answer is a little cynical. It's great that you've been able to build a business providing web services for NPO's. It can be a very rewarding experie

Dude, this is one of the coolest job postings I've seen on HN for a while. Not so much what the job involves (which is pretty cool in itself) but that you're reaching out to the HN community to hopefully bring some people like yourself onto

I do this fairly regularly but I'm always surprised by what I get out of it - and it does run both ways. It's such a simple thing to do and at the very least will give you something to take pause on or motivate you to get through the rest o

I've been using xPAD for a while. It's simple but very useful. My housemate swears by Evernote but I'm not convinced yet.

In many ways this would be similar to how Foursquare rolled out. Perhaps you can identify scouts in particular cities who have expressed their delight in your service or create a signup page for people to get notified when you arrive in the
