Lol. This was kind of a joke, but it's true. It only applies to sites that have viral content in nature. Basic formula: Create (or find) some pictures, videos, etc that are extremely viral. Submit them to StumbleUpon (or have a friend do i

... as an upper-classman so poignantly put it to me as I was graduating school: "... it's not who you know, it's who you blow."

For those who don't get it, this is a karma whore joke.

Yesterday I pimped some sites on StumbleUpon. Extra 45% Visitors (6k or so). Take note!

That one web-based MS-Word knockoff startup used ASP.Net (no offense intended, they were the best in the space) - eventually they were bought by Google. MySpace also uses "MSFT technology". I'm personally not one to hate. If you can get y

Would you like to eventually become profitable?

That got me for a while too when I was first learning Rails (the what does "save" do exactly issue). Personally I prefer letting a framework do its thing and make intelligent defaults, that can hopefully be overridden (usually the case in R

I would upmod this but I'd be afraid even more non-hacker friends would bug me. To be honest -- I'd be scared of any incredibly bright individual (even who went to b-school or majored in art history) who was not willing to get their hands d

It can also equally be difficult even if you work from home, but have output monitored. I've worked in an office environment where people could easily get away with surfing the web 80% of the time, no big deal. I've worked from home where S

I think it would also be tricky to explain to your employers why you're working on a startup on the side. Was your name featured on TechCrunch, or just a URL? I've tried doing "anonymous" startups under pseudonyms, it's hard to be taken ser

Who wants to guess how this will turn out? Personally, my money is on LOL or Not -- Hot or Not for lolcats.

I went on hiatus from a job over a month ago. Now I'm back looking to join a cool RoR startup =) I have some cash reserves; not enough to live off of in SF for many months.

Definitely seems like something worth taking a look at. "all of twitter's traffic on 2 machines?" - how did you come up with that number? Sounds reeeally fuzzy to me. One day all these webapp frameworks should just have a good old-fashion

Someone should start a startup to somehow leverage high karma on all these sites into cash. Not in a slimy calacanis kind of way but one that rewards all interested parties.

I know it's trendy to hate on MBAs, but the top schools do crank out some pretty bright talent. I hear Google has some of these guys answering support email!

Out of all the "spam" you could get, this is probably the least annoying (and actually beneficial for some) kind you can get. When contacting people like this, it's usually wise to customize each email (which it doesn't look like they did).

It reminds me of how LGATs work. (large-group awareness training) Stuff a bunch of people in a room for ten hours. Only let them leave twice to go to the bathroom. By the time they get out, they'll believe aliens are the new messiah and M

LayeredTech.com. You get a big bang for your buck. Service? It's ok. Totally unmanaged, so don't expect much on that front.

I did this a few years ago. Grew a site to 10k+ daily uniques while it was running over a DSL connection at my parents house!
