Re 5: We did this on our new startup, and had a few complaints we are dealing with now. Just to make sure you avoid them: 1) if you redirect them to a signup page, make it SUPER CLEAR that their post/content wasn't deleted, that it is bein

Yeps - I also thought the map was a bit confusing to use. It was great until I got to the city level...then it was weird. I didn't read the catch phrase, but totally agree with you. Thats a mouthful, and it makes me think too much. Somet

(nods) Oh definitely true. I spent a summer with one of the BEST team's I have ever worked with (this I measured by their experience, the roughly equal ratio of seriousness to laidbackness and quiet time to social time, and the welcoming

(First off, Im not a big early adapter or regular web 2.0 site user. So some of these things may not be relevant if you are going for a tech savvy audience) So immediately I think "Four Square". I see you arent, but that sounds like it'll

I dont think thats a flaw at all. Dude, look at the people who take boring jobs that pay the bills and see their excitement level towards life itself 10 years later. :\ I dont want things that are ALWAYS challenging, or so hard as to leav

I'd put team as part of environment/atmosphere (or vice versa) - I know they arent perfectly matched, but dont the people you work with directly impact the atmosphere?

Point definitely taken, and I will. I'll also definitely use the Ask HN feature now that I know it exists, since that is what my goal with that one was. I do think there is a really knowledgeable community here, that I'm working to learn

Actually, I didn't change the link (not sure how/who did, but that's fine) - and didn't know I could post "Ask HN" posts. Now that I know, I will in the future. (still not sure how to...but can figure it out now I know its possible) Lookin

"Naïvety balanced by an experienced advisor’s cynicism can be a healthy combination." Neat and well written - agree wholeheartedly. But a team of entirely newbies, first timers, and folks in their twenties should have an experienced advisor

Is this REALLY where books are going? Personally, I still can't imagine giving up a book for another screen in my life. But talking to my hacker-ish friends, I seem to be in the losing end of the spectrum. :(

Eep, I am sorry for that. Yep, I am on of the founders of the site, but not the writer of the post. I was working on the site when we made an announcement about Trogger to some of our SFbeta attendees, and "found" that post from a few day

So I found this post on a new community site, and I'm honestly curious. I hear that companies HAVE to use it, that it is a GREAT way to talk with your clients and customers. But I've tried...and I don't get it. You guys are a pretty tech

Man, I kinda think this is crazy - but I guess make what sells, heh. I would NEVER want to read a book on my phone; I spend enough time staring at a computer screen, and squinting to read or having to move the page would just really throw m

Hahah, you are probably correct there. And yep (Im the writer), you should definitely do a little research before you actively start pursuing someone. Sure, getting to know them at the bar or party is fine, but before a private date do a b
