I think this is stupid...most founders who dropped out of school..did so only after they got traction, an saw that the business was going somewhere. I'm not sure...but I don't think any of the big name founders(you know those that are alway

are you sure you can even sell the book? If I were you I wouldn't care about the commission just yet...publish it on the most popular service....see if anyone actually bothers to buy it...then if you see a ton of sales start looking for bet

37 signals is long enough on it's own that people know that 37 is a number. 20.com on the other hand noone would expect the site to be on the # domain

I click ads on Google for 2 reasons: 1) If I feel the thing is a scam, I'm costing them money 2) to comparison shop...I figure if someone buys ads for a keyword, then they are somewhat relevant...so it gives me 4-5 companies to start my sea

those are horrible domains, and I'd think they cost $9.99 to register. well except for 20.com. but 20.com is a horrible name in itself, because the majority of people would just go to twenty.com

i use Google Keyword tool to give me a rough estimate. It's not 100% accurate since the data is a bit dated, but overall it'll give you a rough idea

I use a special plugin that tells me all those numbers automaticlaly...maybe it considers an alexa rank of 4,343,216 too high to fit in the space. but that number is horrendous...it's like 10 hits a month

i know we are not supposed to judge a book by it's cover, but man does the ZestCash CEO look like a snake oil salesman: http://gigaom.com/2010/10/12/zestcash-judges-creditworthines... also you know it's a scam, when the site's page rank,

well Novartis isn't exactly known for being open source

by vaksel 16y ago
it'd be cheaper for Novartis to just have these guys killed. Maybe after a dozen or so patent trolls end up dead, they might go looking for a safer market. Frankly I think patent law, should be like trademark law. You can patent anything, b

I use an alias as a username, but I don't go out of my way to hide my actual identity. The main reason for the alias, is to avoid having HN pop up when someone searches for my name in Google. Tech people may know that Hacker News is for sta

they charge the dealer by providing sales, so yes they are working for the dealer...but the only way they can provide sales is by getting the customer a good price. So they are working for the customer. and carsidrect is for new cars, I thi

it does when the service relies on the human element to get completed. You pay up front for websites/apps, because you get access/product right away. But any interaction where the human is involved(plumbers, tree service, mechanics, body sh

charging me up front, tells me the story that they already got their cut and that they have no actual incentive to give me a good service.

by vaksel 16y ago
I don't see why they are charging the customer, instead of the dealer. It's like I'm paying you to get the privilege to shell out 30 grand. At the very least, I should get a list of all dealers currently in the program. The problem I see, i

frankly I think this is b.s., doesn't interstate commerce fall under federal jurisdiction anyways? why should internet companies have to deal with this B.S. for all 50 states? Frankly i think this is just a way for them to soften everyone u

anyone else stopped watching mixergy ever since it stopped being live? Before I'd use to watch every day, but now it's much faster to just read the transcript of the few stories that actually catch my attention.

that doesn't seem to be so much about marketing, but more to do with being viral.

i think the biggest problem is that due to the financial crisis many companies were forced to cut staff...and since many people were afraid to lose their jobs they started working harder for the same pay. so now the same jobs that were done

their list of benefits is laughable especially "fully coming out of beta in order to serve you better", because that beta logo really hindered the user experience

agreed. it raises uncertainty...if they raise the prices now...what's stopping them from raising them again in the future.

that post is severely lacking in information all you learn about, is the founder's age, location and a short description of what the site did. For a reddit post, I was expecting details on how they got the deal, traffic numbers etc.
