Fabulous, as a tea drinker to the nth degree, I'm always looking for dorky tea apps and things.

Yeah, I saw this last night. I'm not a subscriber anymore and it was really annoying and I was confused. I didn't even think of April Fools though. Good one.

CMS is now a "geek" acronym. Right.

I like the concept a great deal. Just the sort of presentation needed for me to get fence sitters off of it.

Used it earlier and got the link from someplace other than here. Great tool, useful and should be great for people to use and help others with it as well. I'd been wary of Facebook's wacky features before all of the hoopla began, so I didn'

Facebook has certainly gone from being pretty straightforward about privacy to deceptive about it, but the real people who need to worry aren't tech savvy HN denizens, but parents of those types and kids who don't have the first clue or don

I use Zune Pass too and I've been generally satisfied with it. It's a lot better now than it used to be, almost to the point where I could probably ditch my Rhapsody subscription but Rhapsody proves pretty useful and has been venerable for

The real question is, how higher ed will adapt at all. Even still, the game seems to be played the same way it always has. It's a dinosaur industry run by dinosaurs.

You'd be better off getting an LLC and just using a registered agent in a different state, where it's cheaper to do so. Wyoming has no corporate taxes of any kind and its the first state in the nation to create the LLC. You could do it thro

The New York Metro area has 3 teams. All have had varying degrees of success and the Rangers are the dominant team, but New Jersey plays in an arena too close to New York and the Islanders play too far from the city. The Hamilton-Buffalo co

I'm all for moving a team to Kansas City over Hamilton, just given the economics of it, coupled with the whole brand new building in a downtown area thing.

The 5 worst drawing teams in the NHL are: NY Islanders, Atlanta (Expansion), Phoenix (move from Winnipeg), Nashville (expansion) and Colorado (move from Quebec City). http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/attendance Denver is a saturated 4-team m

I think they're going to eventually cave in. The NHL needs any success stories it can cultivate. Copps in Hamilton isn't exactly a modern arena and it would certainly leave Glendale with an empty arena with no major league team in it...and

The parties flipped. Blacks were heavy Republican voters due to Lincoln until the 1950s when it started to shift. Edward Brooke, the first black US Senator since Reconstruction was a Massachusetts Republican. Things didn't really shift unti

I think it's more an issue of voting for one's self-interest, rather than say, voting for a particular race. It's why for instance, GOP Chair Michael Steele didn't win a senate race in Maryland over a white candidate. It's not so much about

Corrupt mayors aren't the only reasons those cities languished. You lose banks, big box retailers at a time when people still shopped at them and have a rise in crime due to all of the jobs being shipped to the suburbs and your cities would

Same. I might watch an hour of television combined in a week unless they're something specific I want to see. And that's rare these days.

Used legalzoom.com and incorporated in Wyoming. It's the best price to do it and best LLC law anywhere.

Having gone from working in higher ed to my own startup, I've always been a proponent of people waiting to go to college or doing other things. I just realize that for a lot of folks, it's just not very good advice and they can increase the

I certainly didn't tell everyone to create startups. But reading here, that's what it seems like it trends towards. If you're over the age of 27, your example just doesn't count. It's not nearly as easy today to do what you did, than it was

And if you fail, go back to college and get the degree. You say that no one cares. But job postings all over the web pretty much speak the opposite. Google doesn't just want degrees, they want degrees from top schools. So sure, if someone w

Aah, more of this madness. The only people who can afford to drop out of college to pursue a startup are those with parents who will subsidize them while they do it, have extensive contacts or those who get very, very lucky. It's just not p

I was thinking that too. A bitter copy editor must've enjoyed writing that headline.

I actually think, in this case, being a niche app is much better..especially given the niche he's selected. He's addressing a real problem with an audience that something like this would be a fantastic boon for. Going beyond that would make

Really good niche to target, especially for missionaries in places with bad mail service. I think the design fits the target audience well and it should be interesting to see how well it takes off for you.

I think starting something small, making money and having success is how you decide whether to grow that project bigger or taking the money and pushing it into something else. When you don't have the advantage of resources or time to devote

I use it on my blackberry, because it works a lot better than the browser it ships with. But that's it since it first released and I used it some.

Great article. He did his homework, targeted his audience and finally sees a payoff. But it took him 10 years of working in a nursery school and babysitting and party hosting at DZ for him to manage to get there. But good on him for recogni
