Bonus points on the link bait for the 37signals job board. Who needs banners or AdWords when you can create clever content and get links & traffic from startup, design, and tech sites?

DMOZ does matter, as do many of the old directories that are hand curated (Yahoo Dir, Business.com, Best of the Web, and hundreds of small directories). These directories are valued by the search engines because all listings are not automat

Trademarks are not limited to just one per word/phrase but instead based on classes (categories). It's possible for someone to have a TUVW as a software program and also a TUVW pharmaceutical drug. I've got a similar case with one of my s

A friend of mine has a similar type of software where he is somewhat of a middle man. He charges the company $x base + y% of the transaction. His customer is required to have their own merchant account and his service just processes throu

My guess is that Facebook uses separate domains to ensure their company email accounts don't end up with spam issues due to the overhead of sending out all the notifications for their users. I've got dozens of "your friends are waiting for

I'd not build a business on a non-.com name unless I intended for it to be a part-time/passive business whose primary traffic stream was SEO. Also while the URL hacks are cool to us, our parent's just don't understand them and will type the

It's nice to see Microsoft partnering with companies that offer cool technology to build businesses with. It presents some nice alternatives to many of the popular FOSS technologies. Competition is good for everyone.

When I was in school, many classes were standardized on particular models such as the TI-83 and TI-85. On the first day of class, my teachers would always say "I teach using this model and if you don't have it, you are on your own". I did

Most domain registrars will show their own parking page full of ads by default when registering a new domain name. Could there by chance have been eBay ads on the Godaddy parking page for your domain? If the page didn't resolve at all, it

I'm not sure the author did enough research when he says: The popular iPod Touch media player has been revamped at three price points - $229, $299, and $399 - all costing more than the iPhone, which does everything the Touch can plus make

I agree - it's great to get started and get traction with an app but can become costly after a certain point. When I got to a point of needing several dynos, I went to Engine Yard which like Heroku takes care of all of the Amazon EC2 confi

I wonder if your affiliate program is the source of the problem. Perhaps affiliates are submitting articles with their affiliate link and the mods got tired of deleting them? BTW congrats on putting together a good bundle of conversion rat

Geesh they are already on version 7 and Chrome? Maybe someone at Google forgot to include the "1." in front of the version. It's interesting that Internet Explorer, which came out in 1995, is on version 9 while Chrome which came out just t

Seeing as how the question was worded - "Have you lost interest in programming?" and how the OP says he no longer enjoys programming - causes me to place a lesser value in the responses. It's clearly a bias in the wording of the question.

Sorry to hear about wanting a name that a seller refuses to sell. I'm in a similar situation with a neighbor who has several acres that adjoin my ranch. I've offered way above market value for the land that doesn't even have access to a p

I agree 100% on your 2nd point. It's tough to price out a domainer but not price out the small business or startup who probably has smaller pockets. By the time the small business has the money to buy the domain, they have already built a

At the time of this posting, there are 12 references to "squatting". While it may be arguing over semantics, it is an important distinction as there is a difference between "squatting" and "investing". An individual who saw the foresight a

Congrats on the site - it looks like you are getting some traction. Just a suggestion, but you may want to clean up the skills list. Letting the community add their own skills (rather than suggest) causes the list to get really messy in a

That means that 4-year universities wouldn't work even if they were functioning correctly, which they aren't. The real benefit of a college degree is that it broadens your horizons and increases your capacity for knowledge. Sure you can

I use Engine Yard for an e-commerce Rails app. Deployment is simple with a post commit hook. I simply commit and push to Github and the rest is done. You are on your own unless you fork over at least $250/month for a support plan though.

Godaddy is the largest domain registrar by far and often times you can register domains for $8 or less with a coupon. The upselling is annoying to tech savvy people but absolutely confusing to non-techies. I'll admit that a lot of my busi

I'd highly recommend you all secure historious.com while you still can get it at a decent price (read: before you get funding, big name recognition, etc). While domain hacks are cheap and cool in the startup world, they confuse average peo

Interesting idea and good luck in your search for a co-founder. It looks like your web app redirects to the https version. In Safari 4 on Mac, I receive "Safari can't verify the identify of the website www.laundrigo.com" and I see an error
