Thanks for your response, I appreciate you looking into it. As I say I'm a huge HN fan but with the growth of the community there has been a sharp rise in people seeking to make a name for themselves and seeking to criticse rather than crit

Mindcrime hits the nail on the head. I don't want people telling me how awesome my project is - no where in my OP have I said that. My mum would be my toughest critic but she'd also be my fairest and explain to me what she liked but more im

11k is part of a social experiment to see if people will sign up to something they know nothing about just because it is exclusive. And thanks, appreciate it.

Thank you for so perfectly demonstrating my point..

Ironically I am a writer - I've written a sitcom and had it made and have had my fair share of 'this is awful' comments - I get people won't like my stuff, I don't have a problem with that. I am making the point that the old HN crowd would

So I shut down (albeit people can still sign in) a site called favilous which was a bookmarking site. And recently I read a book called Join Me by Danny Wallace and thought it would be cool to see if that translated to the web so I created

It's not legislation or law - more just me wanting to impress and come up with some good ideas.

by sw007 14y ago
Brilliant, thanks. These are exactly the sort of simple ideas I am after.

Exactly. By greener I mean save money, which I really need to do to safeguard my job in the current turbulent financial market.

I should have been more specific. I work for a large corporate but am low down the food chain. We run a massive data centre that houses in the region of 10,000 servers. I can't go into specifics around the data centre as I'm not sure if I'm

As someone who is currently trying to run all 450 miles of the London Underground for charity I think that the greatest challenge of running is mental and not physical. Whilst I take his point we are built better to run long distances - I w

I find it strange that you and others question whether this article should be on HN - the fact you and others are commenting must mean that the topic grabbed you enough for you to want to read and comment on what people are saying on the su

We have had some interest from businesses and academic organisations - they want their own bespoke version of Favilous. So currently we are working on this so that we give these organisations the ability to have their own bespoke version of

That is a mistake on our part! We were thinking of charging and when we made the changes we planned on charging. Since then we have had a change of heart but have obviously forgotten to change that text - we will do that tonight! With regar

This is amazing, thanks so much for this - will definitely follow up on all of this.

Totally agree - we think we have the better product and we have loads of ideas as to how make the site better. We eventually want to change the way people date online

It hasn't detered me, that's precisely why I'm here - I want to ask a bunch of creative people ideas on how to uniquely Market something. We appreciate we will always have competition, we are excited by that as competition leads to a better

Cheers guys. I have been hammering Facebook - I have sent a message to 268 people, including my ex (brave move!) and around 40 of my friends have updated their status with it. I guess my concern is when they stop updating their status how d

I should probably add at this point that it is a university. Reason I didn't make that clear was I didn't know whether I should but have since checked and think I am fine to mention that. It's a university with 30-40 thousand students who t
