That's funny. Maybe GoDaddy can add that to their (lengthy) checkout process: Don't forget to register 'YourBizSucks.com'!

It does, but maybe those stupid parking pages are actually doing something right. I think U-Haul did a good job of presenting essential information upfront, simply and cleanly. There's no giant logo, or a screen-hogging masthead with pictur

That's happened to me several times. In my case I'm sure it was spamming (nothing sent, no account access other than my own, for an account with a single word name).

I'm not there yet but came to the same conclusion. There's a need startups have that only PayPal seems to fill (unfortunately). I see FastSpring responded in this thread that recurring billing is coming, so maybe that will become a viable o

Me too. I cleared the cookie and couldn't log back in, tried to create a test account and got the same empty response in both cases.

You could try the Inc 5000 list: http://www.inc.com/inc5000/2009/the-full-list.html It's not exactly what you want, as these companies will have been in business a little longer, but you can filter the list by earnings and number of emplo

SEO: In the search results you can see which site put up two pages this morning, each targeting a specific keyphrase, to capitalize on the trend.

Here's an opportunity for a sandwich shop to capitalize on Subway's bad press with a 13-inch sandwich ("Ours is longer!").

I don't think it's a bad idea. Just don't make free work a habit. ;) However, a new freelancer may find that getting free clients is just as difficult--or even more difficult--than getting paying ones. It's the same process. In that case th

Interesting, and I think that might identify the dividing line--if your customers are managers then they're probably using Other People's Money, and may not be as frugal as founders, freelancers, and direct consumers.

I was surprised to see more Apache usage here vs. nginx (and on the other poll, more MySQL compared to Postgres).

Did you have any problems with only hearing the language and not being able to see it? I tried Pimsleur and couldn't stand not seeing the words--I felt like I was both adding and missing letters.

I'd approach it like this: "How can you help me?" And then have a simple answer, one you wouldn't mind giving a friend or relative, because you genuinely want to help by providing a valuable service. I see commercials for legal and financia

Even worse, machines may enforce unnatural and potentially dangerous form (Smith machines are particularly linear, for example). Free weights can be more forgiving when your form is a bit off (versus being locked into a groove that leads to

I've accepted that it's best to treat people like grown-ups and if there's '@' and '.' and it's retyped then it passes. Someone can easily submit a fake name or phone number or street address, and e-mail's no different. If they get it wrong

FYI NOVA on PBS is currently running an episode "Mystery of the Megavolcano." Here's a map of what they're calling "supereruptions" from around the world (nice cluster in the Western US): http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/megavolcano/blasts.htm

Yeah I've been seeing this too recently, mostly "codeweblog" results. I thought Stack Overflow was doing a pretty good job of burying these sites.
