I work with mileszs on TellMyPolitician. We are trying to get feedback on how to better present this to publishers to entice them to place our button on their site. We eventually want to have our tool added to the likes of addthis and share

I say this, find me a business with out competition and I will show you a business without any customers. Every business is going to have competition. If you didn't then your area of business is likely something no one wants.

I do believe unless you turn off the option of sharing your data with Google, they do have the ability. I am not a 100% sure, but I think so.

I see some of his points. However, buying keywords on searches that you rank highly in is often not a negative. We buy brand terms for our clients all the time and it only helps them. They do very well in the organic listings for these same

Just a hypothetical, which is worse. The greed of a Wall Street Banker, or the power hungriness of a politician. Both, are greedy, but for different things.

I agree with your above statements. However, referring to the competition by name isn't always a bad thing. Many companies do it to great success. Direct comparisons are great in advertising and they are trying to draw a direct comparison t

I love this idea even though it is expensive. I would never pay these rates, but I think they are missing out on revenue gold. If all the socks you get are the same, like the article says you gather a lot of socks. But if you throw in varie

I second this. I know that you are addressing bills going through congress, but I don't know what you want me to do. I also had a hard time trying to reading the bills in the list.

It costs a lot when you aren't sending out regular emails like Skribit. If you have a monthly subscription you can send out as many emails you want to 50,000 subscribers in a month for only like $240 dollars. It is a matter of economies of

I agree they could mention it, but i think they are trying to show a trend. The trend is what is important in this story. It shows live video on the web has an audience. Personally i use justin.tv to watch European cycling races that you ca

Clicktale.com actually let's you watch users on your site. You see what they see and where their mouse moves. This is different than what Omniture offers, it is more supplemental to what you are asking. I do know that Omniture's number one

I really liked this story. They definitely persevered. It is great to see someone work hard, even when it doesn't workout at first, and still make it big.

I don't think it is so much a matter of all you have is your cofounders, but more that if this goes down you all go down together. That is why you must use each other to get to shore. But still use all other avaiable resources as needed.

I will always hand it to Obama, his team understands the Internet. I do find it funny however that people think because Obama is great at the Internet that the whole Democratic party is good at the Internet. We are working on a new web app

This makes me wonder if Techcrunch is reading HN, looking for people who are launching their startup. Then if they like it they decide to write about it.

I think what they miss about netbooks, it is that in America they are really secondary computers. Maybe I am wrong, but I think that most netbooks are primary computers. Great devices, but you often still need another device.

Here is a free one. It works really well. http://tools.seobook.com/firefox/rank-checker/ There are more advanced ones out there but, they are more costly. This is by far the best free tool.

I have heard and thought the same thing. Who wants to deal with a market right now, knowing that any second the government might quickly change the game on you. It is like in school, when the kid who started loosing started changing the rul

Is there a way that you can close the floating widget on the map. When you are looking for something in an area it would be nice to be able to remove it.

I typed in my address to see what was close. It would be great once you search to be able to increase the distance from your address you are willing to go hiking.

I think the reason you get so many repeated posts from newbies, is that HN does not have a search feature. I think simplly adding a google search to HN would likely cut down on this issue.

Apple is an interesting example and I can see why you think that, but I think Apple does do marketing before they make the product. I don't have an inside source at Apple, but I am sure they are taking feedback from current products as well

That is crazy. What a terrible company. Besides, when multiple clicks to an ad come from the same IP address, google is supposed to filter them out and not charge you for them. Maybe google can block their ip address so that they can't use
