   I'm curious how everyone else manages their daily workflow and for ideas on how I might improve Sparkmuse to better help entrepreneurs meet that end.

   Nice, this will come in very useful for an RSS-based project I'm working on too. Hopefully I won't slam your servers too hard. Are you considering making the source available?

   Hopefully this is the real deal and not an abstraction on the current datastore. When using the datastore in a relational way, you get some pretty horrid performance.

   Pretty tempting offer even for the happily employed. Can I refer myself to the job and get both sides?

   Would you elaborate on what you mean by scalable content generation? How is this different from writing content or landing pages directly, how does it become scalable? I find the content bit hard with my own side-project because I'm having

   That seems odd, you can access appspot but not the www domain itself? And you can not access the www domain via a Twitter redirect, but you can access it to get to the login page?

   Yes, we're on Google AppEngine, and wow, that isn't something I expected to hear. I don't see an account created under ocanbascil.

    Thanks for the heads up, investigating it now.

    Good points, I need to present the value proposition more clearly.

    Definitely, adding that to the list.

    Just Twitter right now, but email may find its way in if that turns off too many.

    Oops, good thing I worked in a giant red reset button to my admin! Gonna have to add another case to the unit-test on that one.

    I debated this for so long. My final rational was that I was going to lose some people but Twitter helps people connect. Since the site is partially about connecting you with others, I decided to give it a go. If it blows up, I figured I co

    Thanks, I will review all the clickies and make sure they've got it.

    Thanks, I worked with a couple illustrators from deviantArt on the artwork. They weren't too experienced with web media, but we made it work.

    Thanks, I did do the design myself but had the help of an illustrator for the drawing aspect. One of my main goals with this project was to improve my design skills so I appreciate the compliment. My employer doesn't have a problem with me

    I agree that the copy is too verbose. The funny thing is, it didn't even occur to me until someone pointed it out. As for action, I personally get really energized just having conversations about an idea, but that isn't enough alone. There

    Excellent feedback, I agree it is too verbose. I definitely need to improve on the copy skills. I'm going to review it tonight.

    Thanks! Are there any specific areas you had in mind? Is the welcome message after you sign in too much?

    Would love to attend but can't afford the flight. Man, I really need to move where the action is.

    Just for arguments sake, let's say we are in a bubble. Isn't that a great thing for entrepreneurs wanting to startup or get additional funding? Does that mean we should put the pedal to the metal now instead of waiting for a potentially bad

    Great idea. It'd be fun if I could either login or get a link mailed to me of a Google Map overlaid with all of my current shipments, annotated with data about them. Definitely like the simple nature of your app though. Signing up is as ea

    I live in B, Alabama and can attest to the excellent cost of living here. My runway lasts over twice as long here as in the NE or SV.
