Read it to my spouse as she lay in bed... she loved it! And her first comment was can she have a business card... with the title "Startup Spouse"... Awesome! Just add a Facebook share link... so I can share on Facebook. :)

Neat concept. How many members do you have - do you publish that? Second - how do members deal with privacy? It seems pretty wide-open in terms of exposing your personal life (eg: twitter, which probably links back to your personal name, et

I think an extension of this is: how do we convert free to paid...? My thoughts were for my own SaaS application was to: - offer free account to "get a listing" - upgrading to a paid account gives ridiculous service/benefit - a commission

Does anyone know what the cost for this service is - say for approximately 300 words, 600 words, and so on? (rough idea) Love this!

Correct - losses during the startup period are good so as long as the revenue potential down the line is there.

At startup has these characteristics (only): 1. Is a business that makes money. 2. See point 1. above Everything else is considered either art (as in artist) or hobby. Examples of non-startups: 1. A iPhone developer with 1 app, no revenue

I wouldn't refer to it a rejection letter, rather understand that they just aren't investing in your company/team at this time. Maybe do a "Ask HN: How can I improve my team, business model, etc." and we can all crowd-source improve your id

I'm in the process of setting up Beanstream - seem like nice guys out there! And they give test accounts, etc. Very friendly. When you call the 1800 number, someone answers the phone!

You should know at minimum the current value of the shares (i.e. last funding round price) and the number of shares + options outstanding. Options are also horrible - unless you have some agreement which allows you to exercise them upon a l

I think there's more that goes along with setting up a company - like procuring customers, relationships, and so on. On your to do list at the bottom, I'd pass on benefits planning, credit cards, tax planning and accounting before really st

Hrm. I really don't know! Perhaps it's best to maybe call in to the department who runs the campus web site and even just petition for them to hire you to do the development? Maybe you could get in - prove the app works - sell some advertis

checked it out: but serving difference markets. hitbio is a google search (Basically tells you type your name). praux-whever is about sharing resumes, critiquing, etc.

privacy issue - i wouldn't want anyone knowing all my personal details. especially to the public. maybe a hide / block feature. but then this would just become another .docx/.pdf resume site. i like the idea of being able to share/critique.

Neat idea - how do you organize the payment of those tickets?

True. Blippy is probably just another part of a larger equation: Blippy + ??? = Profit!

I remember when Apple brought out the Macbook Air - and it sounded like a huge partnership between Apple and Intel. What is the relationship going forward?

Not exactly sure - but you could have datasets of key words and if those words match then you choose the search engine. And maybe there's some learning over time...

in other words, your search aggregator should auto-detect the context which the user is searching, then use the best platform to perform that search.

Rather than just another search tool, why not add some basic "AI" into the mix: eg: searching "restaurant near Vancouver, BC" would use Yelp, "Facebook" would use google, and so on.

Using NoScript, do you block ALL .js files, or just selected ones? Doesn't NoScript / using no .js break many web 2.0 ajax sites?
