It's interesting I was thinking about the same thing a few days ago. Once you release an app, there won't be a lot of motivation to keep releasing updates to it ( no incentive for doing that ). Why not go and build another app ?

Thanks for the input, everyone. I have decided to go with unfuddle for now since they host both svn and git repositories and their free plan has more than what I need for now.

Thanks for the fast replies. Google code / github definitely make sense for open source projects. But what if the project I'm working on is not open-source ? Any recommendations for personal hosting ?

Opera has been one of the very well disciplined and feature-rich browsers for the longest time. It was atleast twice as fast as anything else about 8 years ago, on dial-up (ah, the good old days). It was pretty impressive what they had at t

I can believe that. It's evident in how people work. Google got a few things right : - Got the users early : Just a simple textbox opening up the doors to the world wide web was what got people using it (as compared to others like altavista

Working with better programmers is very similar to working on great code. In fact, I would say that working with solid code is more important than working with great programmers. I learnt a ton of stuff about programming when modifying the

ah, it's out finally. I believe it would've been better had they just shipped it out in the first place before they tried to roll it in with oneConnect.

Well, how does one identify these so-called "sneezers" ? Wouldn't one's fans be the sneezers since they love the product and are more likely to tell others about it. Would have been better if Seth had elaborated more. I would also disagree

Going off on a tangent here but how is the startup scene in UK ? I might have to move there soon (for personal reasons) and was wondering if there was a way to keep track of what was going on in the community, who were the players, etc etc.

I agree with Paul's point. Google's early growth was due to the product being superior and not because it had any sort of virality. I don't recall seeing any Google ads on TV/print/billboards yet soon everyone was talking about googling ins

thank you! I have a couple of ideas; not sure which one I'd work on (time to do some research). I'll stay on here and be in touch with the community and ofcourse, ask for feedback when I have something to show.

Thanks for the prompt replies, everyone ! I do understand the importance of a co-founder and am in talks with a couple of people I worked with before. A couple of reasons why I am hesitating are : 1. I feel like I should get some experience
