Congrats! Diffbot offers very compelling technology. Incidentally, the infographic you created was gorgeous. Do you mind sharing who you used to create it?

i'm not sure we're in disagreement. names matter and warrant attention. the less direct your name (e.g., amazon), the more you need to invest in marketing and educating consumers about your company/product. the macro point, which i suspect

Great point. "Or fail" should be removed from the line.

The most crucial point is to not obsess over names. Obsess over product, not name. Companies prosper or fail because of their product, not their name. Consider Amazon. It outshines competitors in e-commerce, even though one rival -- Buy.com

cool, what did you use for page transitions and tap events? did you roll your own?

My comment aside, you are right to question if it's the wisest investment for Amazon to make a phone. Could they form strategic partnerships instead, paying handset manufacturers to install Amazon media marketplaces like Google did with Del

by panabee 14y ago
The reason for Amazon to build a phone is for distribution of digital content. As Apple proved with the iPod and then the iPhone, the device is the distributor. Music, movies, video, books, and apps are all multi-billion dollar industries.

yup, this is my guess. it's all about understanding users more deeply. hypertargeted ads. what's in a photo these days? location + time. along with captions and photo titles, FB can infer what you were doing, where you were doing it, and wh

cool, thanks! what did you do for page transitions? we see that zepto handles the touch events and dom events.

one reason we use JQM is for page transitions. what other frameworks provide page transitions? we could obviously roll our own, but are just curious what the other options are. zepto and XUI are two alternatives to JQM mentioned in the arti

Sorry if this question was already asked elsewhere, but how much roughly will FourSquare save with OpenStreetMap? Obviously cost is a critical factor driving this decision, and it would be great to know how much the delta is exactly. Thanks

If Netflix decides it needs to source content, instead of only distributing it, then Yahoo has enviable assets: millions of users, deep advertiser relationships, and some homegrown content like Yahoo Autos (though no premium content). Yahoo

I posted this on another thread, but it was buried in comments. Curious to hear reactions to the ideas below. Will delete this comment if inappropriate. ================== First, the board should decide: media company or tech company. If Ya

Agreed; unshackle the engineers -- particularly if you want to compete with Google and Facebook, which have engineer-centric companies. But everyone still needs to row in one direction. What about this for a unifying vision? Help users disc

First, the board should decide: media company or tech company. If Yahoo! is a media company -- which is more conservative since its peers would be AOL, Viacom, et al., and not Google, Facebook, et al. -- then merge/acquire Netflix ($11.5B m

Oh, now we understand the confusion, haha. We shortened "page" to "pg" because of the 80 char limit. Sorry for the confusion! We'll change it now. Thanks for letting us know!

We tried changing the title back (to include "Ask HN," which we had originally) several times, but the update times out. We're not sure who edited the original title. We thought it was you at first. :P Thanks again for your help!

Isn't this what we did originally? Why did you say we asked only a single member? Thanks again for your help! Someone changed the title.

With certain "provable" professions, like programming, where it is possible to prove talent/fit directly -- as opposed to by proxy with a college degree or past experience -- do you see college becoming less relevant as online education and

Interesting. How long do you think before HTML5 video can displace Flash and other proprietary players?

And thanks for taking the time to point out our mistake! Otherwise we wouldn't know what we're doing wrong.

Sorry, we didn't mean to ask advice from one person. We're hoping to get feedback from anyone. What's the best way to do this? Sorry again!

Protecting intellectual property and fostering innovation clearly serves a role in the global economy. However, it's not clear the patent system is structured in the optimal way for an agile world in 2011 driven by the web and software. Per

some of these choices are designed to be provocative, not necessarily legitimate. "built to last," the wonderfully insightful book on technology entrepreneurship by jim collins, contains interesting analysis about the difficulties in replac
