Hey, I'd love to take a few of these off you if you don't mind shipping to LA. Of course I'll cover shipping. Specifically (8, 11, 17, 19). My email's in my profile, Thanks!

To quote Paul Buchheit, all such 'advice' is just someone's limited life experience expressed as a set of over-generalizations. If it was really this simple, VCs would have success rates upwards of 90%. All said, I can understand how someon

Thank you for the life lesson luckydude, but I'd prefer an explanation from Craig or Jim themselves.

It would only be disingenuous if there was any kind of commercial aspect to the site as it stands. There was none, and "rolling it out" on HN is merely asking for feedback, not trying to sign up paid users. In the email exchange I've had wi

Craig Newmark: "as a rule of thumb, okay to use RSS feeds for noncommercial purposes." What's predictable here ?

Understood, and I'd have them already if craig decided to not exclude them from RSS feeds. Presumably to shut down previous, more annoying offenders. Wanna talk to him ? :)

Thanks. What is it specifically that you've been craving ?

If there's a geocodable address in the optional location field, we use that. If not, it will default to the general region it's posted in. We're currently seeing approx 75% of listings geocoding correctly, but like you said the resolution i

Appreciate the quote, but I know all this. This is why a) we don't pull from craigslist and b) i've talked to craig about it. I chose to talk to him even though we could get the data without them knowing.

Interesting. Already doing geo-IP lookup when you enter a blank `where` field.

Agreed. PS: Scour eh ? Met your cofounder Kevin while I was @ google. UCLA LUG 4 life ;)

Thanks for all the feedback thus far. All the bugs & suggestions have been noted, and I have several features in the pipeline such as being notified by email when a new posting matches your search. My main question is this: do you see t

Yup, they're not very friendly to 3rd parties. But Jeff pissed them off by going against a core value -- staying local. On the flip side, sites like housingmaps.com & craiglook.com have been up for many years.

"I have been working on Docley for about 6 months." <withsalt> Given the technical complexity of a site like this, and the fact that you aren't yet open to the public, that seems like forever. Have you talked to your future customer

Doh, didn't realize the email field wasn't public. Try now.

Hmm, is this going to be a dick measuring contest or are you actually interested ? If it's the latter, email me.

I don't think this would work, for the following reasons: 1. Money. While 14-20k isn't that much, it does provide enough money not to have to think about bills for months. Perhaps even more importantly, taking someone else's money (esp. whe

Just curious, zapnap, but I didn't see any useful information on the site about finding partners. I saw a list of project suggestions and interested people, but none of finding partners local to your area, or how the existing teams found or
