A few questions - 1) Do you take a stake in the new formed company ? 2) Why are you offer a stipend ? It's not that expensive living in India, and a dot-com startup doesn't require any funds really. 3) The real strengths of YC, as others h

Thanks for the inputs. I had anticipated privacy concerns, but in all fairness, this is an early prototype.

Won't that choice become too technical ? And is it acceptable to charge for privacy ?

I understand this would raise red flags for a yc type crowd. Would the average surfer feel as strongly ?

I could change that, but won't it would get too annoying (for a fresh data-set) ?

I too have instances run for 5-6 months without downtime. The reliabilty concerns are overstated. As long as one accounts for the lack of persistent storage, there should not be a problem.

I tried using simpleDB for a while, and would not recommend it for production use. No joins - SimpleDB was designed for parallel operations - so if you need data from multiple tables, you need to fire multiple queries (in parallel prefer

I realised by analysing user feedback that the comment tracking is the main USP of the site. Subavatar supports fallback avatars, if you only want to use the comment tracking feature with your current avatar service. My profile http://sub
