just to give you an example.. all the big dating sites (match.com/eharmony.com) have a secure calling service and they charge money for a user to be able to use it... now on twitter which is again a social site, you can do that without givi

i dont think it will be used to call friends/family.. on twitter you can essentially follow anyone.. it will be used by people who dont want to give away their numbers...

It is funny on HN that whenever there is a porn related post, a lot of people will upvote but wont comment. :) Anyways, I am just curious as to why it is taboo for a normal VC to be investing in adult entertainment? Porn is a big/booming in

PG, I think it is a good business model with a huge opportunity and they are going to do good. I am just saying it was not something I was expecting to come out as a winner of TC50. Congratulations to RedBeacon team and TC50.

I thought TC50 was about innovation. I was expecting something disruptive coming out as a winner. This seems to be a good business but what is innovative about it? I am disappointed.

I dont think it will be too difficult to automate for mundane jobs. They will need a database to calibrate and then use that calibration to automate the process. There will always be deviations but the deviations can improve with more datap

I think its a brilliant concept. I think there is a huge market for mundane jobs and no specialized place to go for. Guru, elance, odesk are all for project work. Amazon turks is too spread out. They actually have found out a niche, now it

I think I agree with you on this one. I used to tweet a lot but for the last two weeks, somehow facebook is back in business. I have been updating my status with links more than I tweet.

I agree with you to a certain extent and would have upvoted if rather than pointing out all the ways of gaming it, you could have at least mentioned 1 way of solving the problem. I agree that people will be gaming the system. There is no po

why do people just upvote anything if it is YC related? at least someone can congratulate the team or someone from YC can share an anecdote related to the company. Why just upvote? BTW, Congratulations, guys.

I dont want to pay 3 companies (home, iphone and roaming wifi) for my internet needs. Whether it is a dead idea or not, these companies need to work together to provide me 1 package to access HSI anywhere and everywhere.

a levitation chamber wont be that much fun. I think a tool which you can wear or maybe shoes which can replicate the magnetic field, will be more relevant. A chamber will be equivalent to a gravity-free chamber, which, already exists.

I was not talking about the looks at all. I specifically mentioned web2.0 "interface".

I installed iTunes 9.0 and it seems to have a very web2.0 interface. I kind of like it. They have also increased the top 100 to top 200 lists in the appstore, which is wonderful. Now, they need to improve the rating, review system and voila
