I love this idea. The problem I have with Groupon-like sites, at least in terms of sharing, is that I don't want to blast everyone I know with offers. Most of the people i know aren't even in the same area. But- usually I know a few people

The U.S. gives out billions of dollars every year to all kinds of businesses. If having an open competition to win grants is socialist, then we're already a socialist country. In any case, attacking this as a "socialist" idea is an ad homin

The U.S. budget for 2011 is $3,690,000,000,000. Can we spare just a sliver of that for innovation and job creation? Imagine a national contest, YC-ish if you will. 500 businesses walk away with $100K each. That costs just $50M. What would y

I'm assuming the goal of this billboard was to attract attention to DuckDuckGo, not to live up to the marketing "cliche traps" you mention. By attacking Google on Google's turf, not only will he put himself in front of a lot of influencers,

I think that's good advice and aligns with what my gut is telling me. You never know what one thing will lead to, and its certainly nothing personal, so why not. In terms of the number of customers we'd poach, there are definitely some. One

There's a rule similar to 80/20 which is 90-9-1. 90% are just observers, 9% react/respond (think upvote), and 1% contribute. I wouldn't be surprised if the HN/Reddit/etc. is close to this or some normalized and skewed version of it.
