   My point is that if it takes so much effort, it's better to spend it on doing something you're not trying to avoid doing. You make more money and it's more satisfying, when the goal is not to stop doing it. But I think people

   I call this "survivor bias bias". Survivor bias is real, but it doesn't explain all of success. I wish people stopped using it as a trump card argument just like "correlation is not causation".

   I've been using Weave for a few days. It's a pretty cool app. The Android app is a bit buggy but I've met a few interesting people through it already.

    Congrats Matt. Well done on testing various revenue options, instead of eating the costs just to be the "nice guy", only to have to shut it down eventually. Ruben Gamez of Bidsketch had a similar story about switching from freemiu

    Thanks Matt. As someone not very familiar with your site, I have some observations about the user experience of the site: I just tried signing up for the site. My first hurdle was finding the sign up button. It's nearly impossible. Aft

    Are MetaFilter's traffic stats publicly available? I feel like there might be ways to make more money from it to keep it self-sustaining. Edit: Matt Haughey just told me on Twitter that the quantcast numbers are accurate enough - http

    I'd say no to the $10M. I like to run my own show. PS: Love the fact that someone felt the urge to downvote this :)
