Sweet! It would be interesting to have a "pop-out" for my watch list, like a G-Chat has - so I can have that little watch window as an applet of sorts on the screen to the right. Is there any way to indicate when someone replies to a commen

Be prepared for an influx of "Facebook could be X" reports from Goldman who is going to work hard to inflate the value of its investments into FB. I am sure that Goldman is busy telling Zuck he is the new messiah, and that Goldman wants FB

This is exactly my point in this thread: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2295834 There is no way I will sign up for an account on FB for content/to comment on content from other third party systems that are too stupid to have a site t

I dont know the technical issues behind youtube, but I can say, subjectively, that the service as it currently stands sucks from a streaming perspective. It is constantly buffering/pausing even when all other content, pages and connections

This is not the right answer to anything, especially to the innocence of your children. The world is a beautiful place - even when it does such a masterful job of only showing a reflection of pain and suffering. There are so many of us here

Totally agree with you - I have followed the frauds and underlying issues in our system for a very long time. I am not some newly enraged random who just saw Inside Job and got upset -- I have been actively using my skills of observation

I'd be more willing to believe that TC is trying to hedge criticism of their non-existent editing and their over-inflated self importance. TC confuses criticism with trolls.

Facebook stops people. I have never, nor shall I ever, maintained an account on Facebook. This means that I will forever opt out of commenting on TC articles.

What about me? I simply don't want to have a facebook account for any reason whatsoever. I wanted to comment on the TC piece about Shed Simove -- but I must have an FB account to comment on TC? Fark that. Certainly killing trolls is a goo

WTF - I MUST sign in with YAHOO or Facebook to leave any comments on TC??? Fark that. --- 80/20... the 80/20 rule. Its always 80/20 here on TC. This is a fantastic piece, the subject and information provided is great -- but as with every si

Obviously, I was responding to the fact that he had stated that he was helped in immeasurable ways - which I took to mean more than monetarily, so was looking for anecdotes beyond financial value.

Can you give more details on how twitter has been so valuable to you?

Would you pay $.99 per month for the same twitter everything you have now?

It just seems and sounds spammy/unprofessional to me. While I know that we all need to get over this as time goes on -- I don't think that having a .biz domain makes you look particularly savvy. Personally, I try to think up domain names al

This is exactly what I was going to reply with! IMO, if I were in Jake's shoes - I'd be able to look back at what I had BUILT ; Twitter, Square, and be content in those accomplishments. But that doesn't mean "OK, done here - good game." --

I live in SF too, and I don't think that someone who was siting or lying down punch you in the face. They were probably standing when they punched you. We should have a law against standing on a sidewalk. I mean, you could get punched in th
