Perhaps Klout will become the killer-app to help educate the public on the 'dangers' of putting too much information the Internet. It is time people become more wary of 'free' things too.

Not sure how many people become immune to such enticing headlines after a while and how these may undermine a domain branding, e.g., people may stop clicking on search results pointing to that domain.

I think that is a good way to approach anything in life. Prepare hard for it but accept that there'll always be people smarter/better than you. That way, you will worry less about bombing out during presentations, and be more receptive to

Google and Facebook didn't get it wrong, they just don't want pseudonyms or at least limit each person so they can conquer/monetize the identity space. Two examples, (1) online commerce trust Google and Facebook identities sufficiently to a

A TechCrunch article. I renamed the article because I felt the original was a bit of hype. Nonetheless, I found it interesting because the guy kept believing and built the company and survived business terrain change over the years. Hope

My opinion is that applying for funding should merely be something to bring 'excitement' to an otherwise tough' monotonous' life of an entrepreneur. Whether you get funded does not only depend on the ingenuity of your idea but a match betwe

1. If a bad TechCrunch article makes it to the top, is it because the karma system of HN needs refinement to mitigate perverse incentives? 2. Instead of a ban, would it be better if HN users slightly change the way they read articles or can

Usually I go straight to HN comments to read the first few ones to determine if a posted article is worth reading. You guys/gals rock because you help me avoid tabloid stuff and save precious minutes of my life.

My first impression was, this was a useful convenient internet mass-media platform, not only targeted at political people, but anybody who wanted to appeal to a group of people. It had a twist of painting the user as a leader/creator with

You could! It could help DDG make lots of money. However, my thought was if that (privacy) was not the main goal and something comes along, e.g., $$$$/partners, that could catapult you to become a market leader/giant in your core goal area

This is an interesting comment because it may determine if DuckDuckGo (DDG) can remain true to its privacy goals given that the privacy feature was not part of its goal initially compared to say 'offering structured content'. E.g., if priva

Finding someone you really like is not easy and may not happen again. Pushing for more efficiency may help. Some tips: 1. Rid as much of time-wasters as possible. Ditch your tv, game set, etc. Avoid reading too much news, forums, etc. 2.
