   Pretty soon surrounding our domains will be a mandatory $10000 investment by itself. Who do these domain spammers think we are? Dude Yamaha?

   As a side note, for some types of apps, what customers say they want is usually the exact opposite of what should be made;) In this case you've really got to be determined in order to press on... That said, I too absolutely despise the feed

   The concept is a huge surge in traffic. It still amazes me that the most worthless of sites can effortlessly surpass the traffic of good ones with a couple easy press releases.

   "no need to tie an account to a real person" So now fat girls that pretend they are thin models to get dates is a feature?:)

   For dating sites probably. For "work" sites like this, I'd say no.

   database tables are a flat list, but that doesn't mean that the they aren't organized. I usually search my flat list of bookmarks chronologically and by searching for some keywords.

   Indeed, databases are real root of all performance problems. I rewrote a site to use the database much less frequently (mostly just for the initial loading and write operations) and I've been incredibly satisfied with the results.

    I would say that if it's not a .com then it better be unique: eg. NOT .net or .org.

    I would say that his traffic is less "defendable" than a stand-alone site.

    This is absolutely not how myspace started.

    Maybe the approach is to create a FRIEND PROXY SITE that abstracts your social network above social sites? Really, that seems to miss the point. If all you want is to know who your friends are then you wouldn't need any website at all.

    Did you just use "startup" and "financial security" in the same sentence? :)

    What I think is funny is that digg recently redesigned their comments (the most distinguished feature of reddit) to try to immitate reddit's, but missed the most critical aspect -- the ordering. Digg still orders comments chronologically an

    More importantly, maybe rejection also prevented the creation of a 100x greater number of world changing companies:)

    Buy a shelved company for a few hundred bucks? Heh, I've wondered how well that would actually work.

    I more or less hide it from my girlfriend. No really. It does help that she works long hours as well, and of course we have no children.

    """Now, myspace I always considered lamentable crap, but the appeal was fairly straightforward""" Wrong. It had superior, free picture galleries and allowed you to quickly find people in your area (via the "browse") _so you can get laid_. T

    Indeed, and it's not that all startups do marketing that's borderline spam -- only the successful ones.

    There are ad based companies that make far more income than non-ad based. I've come to the conclusion that advertisers and many websites can get far more money out of people than either can individually. I don't like it either, but that's h

    You're worrying too much about respect a company gets. It's not about that. If a company makes a billion dollars selling retarded pink web2.0 bunnies while you built high power laser communication systems and made one tenth that -- as a com

    You take $100 of a poor man's food money and $100 of a rich man's food money in exchange for $1,000,000 worth of food for each, a year from now. Your poor man is dead. Damnit. (In opposition to the use of Guy's theory, although, it appears
