OK, I just finally figured out what the timer is for. Anyone who doesnt go as far as the shopping cart won't know why there is a timer...

Hey dude - I love it. Great concept, good execution, very fun site. Didn't understand why there was a timer counting down on one of the items. Instead of trying to figure it out after 5 seconds, I went to a different page on the site. Anywa

OK, so Digg traffic might suck but I still want some. Apart from getting one of the Digg A-listers to submit a link to my site, how else do you get on the Digg front page. I just dont get it.

The major problem with Seedcamp is they don't have a product-focused, developer-loving guy like PG. Its too much about the business/marketing/lawyers etc. That's important, but they need to find a PG equivalent who will get his/her hands di

I've been thinking about taking on the European market as well. I'm based out of Geneva... Would be interesting to see how European restaurants respond to this concept - I find them generally behind the curve. I still haven't done enough re

I'd like to see some of the mathematical reasoning/logic behind this algorithm. Why that particular log function? Moreover, an explanation into what went behind each step? If the logic can't be explained in plain english, I'm always a bit s

I love Seth's blog, but this one seems a bit obvious. I think I might have to pull out the 'no duh' card on this one.

Thanks this is fantastic. Going from address is fairly straightforward as you say. However, I am looking to use the GPS or tower triangulation built into newer phones. I'm assuming this is available through the ipHone and android APAs? Is a

What about Google Gears/Android and the iPhone API? If you build an application that uses those two APIs, won't that cover most of the future mobile market? If so, is there any need to dig under the covers - just make the simple API calls??

We built NewsCred part-time for the first six months, but it ended up taking just as much time as my day job so I was effectively working 20 hour days! A couple months ago I took the leap of faith and am now 100% on NewsCred, with absolutel

I'm not sure if you actually read the post, but I re-iterate how TC is not an indicator of long term success. If was fun, and it put it on the map. I just wanted to share the experience. Its not the endgame, but rather, just the beginning.

Thanks for all the great feedback all. It seems like the design and user interface are the big winners, as is the simplicity of the site. We wanted to introduce the power of aggregation to the mainstream, and so far the ability to customize
