You can pull the most check-in places from their API if you want to see it yourself. Just looking at the Pittsburgh guide, it seems like the basic tourist tour we give visitors, and it doesn't surprise me these are also the most checked in

My understanding is the Guides are essentially auto-generated by bubbling up top check-in places. Cheers, while corny, is definitely one of those places most tourists go to see when in Boston.

I assume that means the "items" you used to pick up at various locations. They've killed off that whole concept, which used to be novel, but new people probably wondered what was up with getting a "Baseball bat" when you check-in somewhere

That's what I am wondering... I was under the impression that it was a new type of bank, not budget software. I'm a little concerned for my very similar named product BudgetSimple ( http://www.BudgetSimple.com ) which has been out for year

The rapid growth of Google Plus compared to Facebook isn't really a valid comparison. When you are the number one site on the Internet (probably #1 or #2 email provider too?) and you add a new black bar to every page letting people know ab

Here's another take on it (we also exhibited in Startup Alley)... Yes, there was a lot of drama, but I think that's what focused MORE attention on this Disrupt then others. Normally the only press really covering Disrupt is TechCrunch its

I think that's kind of the point, the high price ensures it's mostly VC and Press there, that's what most of these startups are looking for.

Good job on the marketing. I honestly never noticed your booth, but definitely noticed the urinal things (I assumed it was something officially sponsored).

See original thread here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2250103 . Went from my MVP to launched product in about 4 months. I'm at Disrupt this week if anyone wants to give me feedback. Thanks again HN!

My guess as to what happened in the late 70s... the microprocessor, and computers becoming part of the workforce.

Critical mass and a compelling reason to use it over Facebook. Most people just don't have the hate for Facebook that some in the tech community have. That was the main thing people said to me when I tried to get them on G+ "Why would I u

Ah somehow I missed you had people in Portland on the first read. It makes much more sense especially if some of the founders are located there.

by ry0ohki 15y ago
I really love Portland, and I'm sure it's a great new home for BankSimple, but I am a little shocked that a company would move to a city where literally everyone in the company would have to be relocated. I've seen companies move to SF or

I do use the circles, but unfortunately even when i stick people in the "talk to much circle" Google defaults to showing the full stream. And I can't pick "Show me everyone but this circle", so then I'm manually clicking the other 10 circl

I'm not sure anyone saw this coming, that Google+ would essentially turn into a Blogging platform, it almost seems like Tumblr's biggest competitor now instead of Facebook. That said, how many others enjoy following people like Scoble on Go

That's the main reason I like traditional options/equity, it makes me feel like I own part of the company (no matter how delusional or small of a share that may be), so sure I get paid for 40 hours of work, but if I work 60 hours and don't

I agree, but you are talking about technical features again. The interface for circles is slick, it allows new technical fun. I think this is why Google+ is pretty popular with the tech crowd. But now, one month on, even though 60% of my

Google copied a bunch of technical features from other networks (Facebook mainly) that do get social. But as the parent points out, they don't truly get social because there is a complexity that confuses me let alone my mom in using Google

That's why I've largely unfollowed "famous people" on Google Plus... until they have the ability to view "everyone but X circle". The only people of the 100 or so I follow on Google Plus who post anything are celebrities and they post nons

Most really strong systems lock an account after a couple of incorrect guesses. I assume this is all for systems that may not be secured to prevent brute force.

Joel doesn't believe in telecommuting. One way to ensure it stays that way is workstations. (And if you can't work from home, you do get more power for less money in a workstation)

Glad to hear others say it. I lusted after one because I read Joel for years. I finally got mine, perfectly fitted and adjusted. And I never had such back pain (I don't normally have any!), I ended up giving it to my wife and using a $60
