The social proof of having this in the NYTimes is worth a lot more than the SEO value of hosting it yourself.

Posterous in particular, really, given their short-post-via-email focus.

Congrats on getting this off the ground! Quick question - who's sponsoring/funding the grants?

Networking. Interruption. That's it. Everyone says that Twitter is all about who you follow, and that's necessary but not sufficient. But judicious use of @replies and @mentions (when you don't start your tweet with a @username so everyo

I will say that technically, that option is there, but in my experience, it very rarely works as well as it should. We've just reverted to using Dropbox.

That site admin also stole the entirety of the article from the Economist. So I stole his image and threw it up on imgur: http://i.imgur.com/Qov1B.png

I am no longer a professional writer, but most of us I know are happy to give feedback if specifically asked. (As the saying goes, it's a lot easier to be an editor than a writer.) The problem I've had with doing startup copy reviews is th

To be fair, this is essentially what Microsoft themselves have announced for Live Office, their cloud version of Office. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124749451107332731.html

5. Saw it in 3D on a non-IMAX screen. I know enough to know that I'm supposed to be impressed by the CGI in the skin/eyes of the Na'vi and other creatures. And given that I'm supposed to know that, they (generally) succeeded. The 3D wasn

I think you miss how TechCrunch becomes a town square on the weekends with guest posts by contributors. As the comment you cite points out, surely Arrington would disagree with Vivek, at least as far as TC50 is concerned. Perhaps he would

Yelp is sitting on a massive store of local business data. That's useful for search quality. Yelp is in the first three results for the majority of businesses in their database. That's useful for search monetization. They also have a dir

Honestly, seriously, how is this germane to actual policy? I get it - a speechwriter on a presidential campaign stole a speech wholecloth 20 years ago. Maybe it was even Biden himself. But I'm honestly flummoxed on how this relates to a p

It works exactly as I thought it would. ZIP in addition to city/state works, which is nice. I trust you get referral fees for your revenue model. One note: the play on OMG is cute, but probably not a good brand fit for what you're sellin

That's the first time I've really understood the difference between ZumoDrive and Dropbox. Thanks for calling out the sentence.

Yes and no. We never were able to technically integrate with the partners that I did the bizdev on, so we never got their inventory on board. Without inventory in a marketplace, you have a nice little side business, not a main one. If the

Kinda sorta - there's a lot of this that I learned the hard way from Dawdle, and there's a fair amount that I've had a chance to implement in my consulting work with others. The notion of "iteration solves all problems", in particular, com

And they wonder why people laugh at initiatives like Azure. Seriously, folks, making a standards-compliant browser is a critical path item to not losing the 21st century to Google . Hop on it, Redmond.

I was going to buy an iPhone 3GS on AT&T this Christmas break (so I could get on a family plan with my siblings). If I'm reading this right, I can go ahead and get that iPhone and if the Nexus One is that great, I can buy it in January

The Droid only looks like a brick in photos. When you play with one, turns out that it's about as thin as an iPhone 3G. Now, the physical keyboard on it is crap, and I wouldn't buy one. But if they made a Droid with only the soft keyboa

Surely, someone has asked people in other countries what their experiences are with their iPhones on their carriers. Given that the rest of the world is on GSM (Korea excluded), we should pretty well know whose fault it is.
