Have a passion for an idea, get feedback from friends and family; majority dig it, go build it! That's what I did, yet it was not sucessful in terms of getting an audience, but it did get a lot of attention and some funding. THough I learn

Some interesting convo. Though do we not all check Google ANalytics re: where traffic is coming from? When I see a traffic spike I immediately review the sites traffic is coming from and the number of visitors each one sent. Would think

Because it worked for Youtube and some others and it's the way to success and a sale. Just following what others have done - thank god for the DMCA!

Ways to gain traction in the consumer market... 1. Use copyrighted content that is highly sought after. 2. Buy traffic, make it look like ur site is exploding 3. With suspect growth sign partnerships w/copyright Worked well for youtube t

Logo I did not even see one nor does it matter. In five to 10 seconds the copy & design conveyed the site's purpose. I got it and thought cool - there is a need for this utility! good luck!

Yeah but there is a law against anti-competitive actions too, like Twitter not allowing users choice within their profile setting on the site to select shortener of their choice. Also, Apple and At&t rejecting apps that clearly are reje

Everyone has their opinion and that's cool. For me I want the full experience on my netbook, laptop, desktop, mobile net device and etc... Not some hobbled experience because old business models are being protected(blatant anti-competitive

It's a web app and thus no push to notification available to properly be a substitute for texting. Myself, free over rides this nuance, though I don't think so for the majority?!?

Is Evernote a YC company? I can find any info to this regards. Here is a list of YC companies http://www.crunchbase.com/company/y-combinator , though not sure if it's a comprehensive one?

Play piano and guitar; try to sing too as I write music and someone needs to sing it.

Why was it killed? Hopefully not because TS is perceived YC competition? These incubators are great for all hackers and entrepreneurs who are the readers and contributors of HN.

I ignore them, but the links to interesting stories from sites of my interest I click on them frequently. Ads to a blog post I guess those are what you'd call them?!?

Also why is there a lack of African American people there? Anyone ever been to a technology conference? I felt like I stepped into Harvard circa 1955.

The capitalists bunch as a whole are a more attractive group then the nerds. I did not understand the hotness portion as it ranks an older heavy set guy as the only 10. Usually, not what our society would rank a 10. The blonde chick sure

Sure that's why I said apps that are bandwidth intensive or highly popular. Although just recently released GV if released on the iPhone would become a staple app; free SMS. Thus, with everyone using it would put a further strain on AT&#38

Hey it's not popular to say the above, but just look at the last decade and the court cases won in their favor, no matter the country. I was just stating fact! Gladly they have been forced to change their model and now we have free sites l

Anyone think a lot of apps are rejected due to AT&T network not being able to handle bandwidth intensive or highly popular apps? The network is not able to handle the load now and if they allowed Skype, Sling and others it probably be e

The head of the FCC is now Julius Genowaski(sp?). He's a Internet tech guy. He's an investor and one of the principals who started the DC incubator LaunchBox Digital. I would assume he's a great proponent for net neutrality issues!

Another win for copyright! The writing is on the wall after hundreds of similar verdicts through out the last decade, which have killed many music start-ups, along the way. Copyright will continue to win and the public education will conti

I used it back in 06 via my Windows Mobile on EVDO and don't recall calls dropping. More so was a clunky interface, which was not great for answering calls while driving. I'm out to save money and I'm not a huge phone person, rather more o

Mashable's rise can attributed to being a selected friend on Twitter. When a Mashable story is released a lot of the times it becomes a trending topic on Twitter; not all, but I've seen this happen more times with them over Techcrunch.

I have a mac mini connected to a 42" LCD TV. When I would load hacker news with 3.0 that version would auto adjust the text to view that was easily readable. Now I have to use more mouse gestures (right click and motion down with mouse) t
