Good luck with this quest. Hi5 has been pioneering this concept for ages.

I think that largely depends on how you have it set up, and how much of a coder you are. It's definitely geared to be a nice compromise for folks that are jacks of all trades and masters of none. It appeals to the coder and the writer in

John's jotted down some thoughts on how VC is breaking - he and I had a phone conversation on it this morning - I agree with a lot of what he's saying. If you have any thoughts or quibbles, I'm interested in hearing them - we're trying to g

Not in the original conversation, but it's referenced a few times in the post. Unsexy is my snap judgement as to why it's not being pursued... If there's a better reason why, I'm open to being educated.

That was a design decision, actually. One that gets mixed reception. We're considering changing it.

The conversation unalone and I had last night in the broader context of the unwillingness by Web 2.0 companies seemingly unable to go for the "unsexy" monetization solutions.

++1. Definitely agree. Judgment should stand. Sentencing should adapt.

No worries, water under the bridge. And trust me, if they implemented this, you'd see me do a complete 540 on Facebook. That's right - I'd do a 360 spin plus another 180 just so I'm facing firmly in line with the Facebook supporters. I lov

That implies that they're making an impressive revenue. They are making impressive revenue, but impressive revenue is a relative term. Impressive compared to their pageviews? Not really. Impressive compared to what MySpace is making? It'

Well, this is the first time I've been engaged in an extended conversation on HackerNews (not sure when I first started here, but it's been mostly one-offs and very little back and forth up to now). Excuse my shock - was a bit rough, but co

They're just barely in the black, if at all. Seems like I vaguely remember an AllThingsD report that they were might hit revenue positive briefly this year before they'd quickly blow it all on new hires. I don't know where you're getting t

Unalone: I'm new to this particular forum as a regular user, so I'm not sure why I'm not immediately able to reply to your post, yet you're able to immediately able to reply to mine. I'm sure I'll figure it out in time, but in the mean tim

In other words, MySpace found a business model. I'd be happy if half the social networks I love could do the same, so I could quit worrying if they're doomed to shut down as soon as the VCs get bored with them.

"Do you expect people to sit in front of a screen for sixteen hours a day, being constantly productive?" If I can do it, so can they. Perhaps not for 16 hours a day. I tend to cut myself off at 12 or 14 (call me a slacker). A smaller dedi

i've been covering Facebook as a major wheelhouse for years, and I've noticed at least a dozen I could name if pressed. That means there's probably a lot more I haven't thought of. Valleywag isn't exactly the best hard news source, but w

Only slightly hyperbolic. As someone who's spent more time than he'd care to admit in East Texas (a major manufacturing and distribution center for illegal meth), people that make this stuff do it in their homes, and eventually tweak out an

I suppose. I see more than a few dozen ways that Facebook could launch game changing monetization methods in the past several years and have let them all slip through their fingers. And then, of course, you see the posts at Valleywag and A

MySpace is in the black, and has been there quite a while. People tend to forget that.

This doesn't sound like a good idea at all to me. ( http://siliconangle.com/ver2/sabackchan/2009/08/24/why-is-fa... ) MySpace and other startups succeed because they’re small and nimble – why the heck is Zuck on a mission to hire as many pe

It's part of an ongoing dialog with Gartner between the SA crew and the cloud analysts. Interesting stuff.

Did you RTFA? It's more than just TPB. But since you asked... ... it's about free speech. TPB is not illegal, and it's not a source of piracy. It's a search engine. You think TPB's illegal, then so is Google, since you can use both for

Did you read the post? There's a lot more to it - particularly when you look at the roadmap for where Wordpress and Buddypress are headed.

That still won't help someone who's trying to paste it into Twitter or a Facebook status feed.
