It's much harder to get people to buy access to a website than it is to buy an app. Plus, the transaction won't be as smooth as it is with apps, so I don't think Apple has anything to worry about. Besides, I think Apple would love to see fe

Nicely done! Google should use it as a showcase app -- It's definitely the most 'grown-up' App-Engine-based site I've seen. As an aside, how did you accomplish those great perspective transformations in your front-page screencast?

Just curious... why hasn't StumbleUpon been pulled into this fight? They've had their own frame-based bar for a while now.

Nice. As an aside, would it be possible to share your thoughts about the performance of CouchDB when loaded-up with that much data?

Boston has an overabundance of great schools pumping out well-educated CS majors vs a single college in Boulder, and, I believe that if you're started a web company, there's probably a bigger pool of talent in the Boston area to choose from

"How do you get started? All that's required is a great idea for a product that will fill a need in the 21st century." Wow! So easy! Where do I sign up???? :-)

that's a clever idea. nicely done! have you considered enabling click-to-buy for the MP3s and collecting affiliate fees? i could see many impulse buys happening that way.

a bit of a silly argument imho. it's like saying back in the mid 90's that 'searching the web' would win over the web itself.

I think we should move to a number system for naming. That would make those two days out of every four years much easier for everyone involved. And perhaps we should make it base 26 so that the numbers don't get absurdly long. And because o

Joe Pruitt, You must LOVE F5 products as the only links you submit are links to the F5 site. Perhaps you can at least try to pretend you're not shilling for F5 and submit at least one tiny little link to a page that doesn't have anything to

"That's the home page of your web site. Where's the news? Where are the articles? Where's the FRONT PAGE!!! You know, like a newspaper front page that shows me the top articles of the day. Surely you've heard of front pages of this style."

Still no mentions about sync capabilities. If sync doesn't work seamlessly with iTunes, calendars, and photo albums, it's going to be a bumpy ride I suspect.

i assume the YC agreement has a similar clause, so why not accuse YC of having a we-may-steal-your-idea 'caveat' too? as a matter of fact, show me on VC agreement that doesn't have such a clause and i'll buy you a beer.

I'm not worried about friends trying to reach me. I'm worried about all the other apps that will use any excuse to contact me obtrusively -- "Hey, it's been 17 hours since you've played 'SteamMirror.' What gives? Don't you like it anymore?"

The phone certainly looks exciting, but there's one thing I've never seen anyone discuss: Synchronization software. Palm's desktop software has historically, IMHO, sucked. And they have never played well with others. I don't want a Palm cal

Minscasting = "Twitter meets Delicious." It would be more appropriate to use a service like Diigo to accomplish the same feat. Then they could also highlight relevant text, attach notes, etc. But you have to go where the people are I guess.
