I have a PHP book, talks about creating scalable websites, and Flickr is a big part of the book, and I've learned heaps of cool practices from it. It makes me wonder, did Yahoo! screw up Flickr when they bought it? Or was it going out? Beca

I'm just wondering what happens when suddenly you're growing incredibly fast, and you simply do not have the development/money to keep up with the volume of traffic, how does one get on top?

I had a business advisor recently on an idea I pitched to the local council (but never heard anything back...) and he absolutely hated business plans. However, if I want to get any sort of Government or Trust funding for any business I want

I really like this. I'm actually using it now. Could you not join Facebook Groups and start 'talking' about your website? For example, join some music lovin' group and mention it... or even get in touch with the owners/admins and ask to "af

I agree... the colors hurt. I suggest the guy makes it one pale color and leaves it at that. @OP - Awesome! I'll give it a try, I'm currently in the midst of something where this could help me tremendously.

I see quite often people talk about 'good practices' in web-programming but generally say "don't worry about scale issues... if it becomes an issue, you've just beaten 90% of other startups" umm, isn't this a bad practice? Because when you

I did open this up ready to criticize, but err... I love it. I don't have much to say other than the YouTube video ought to be a bit bigger. (Perhaps not in the center but before the left and right boxes so it's more 'widescreen'). Great wo

$286,000 bucks for registering a domain name, I'd so take it. In fact, that makes me want to start up domain squatting... but that's a dick move.

Honestly. Your best bet would be to get a designer to design it for you, rather than use something that reeks of a template. Best way I've found when working with designers, is to sketch exactly what you think it should look like. Include

I love the site. Awesome. However, I'd love to be able to understand the video... please put some captions on it for people who can't hear too well. :)

I'm in a completely different country (New Zealand) and I do the same as you. I like to get off the computer, leave my cell-phone inside, and go cut lawns or do landscaping outside. To me, that feels like the best kind of brain-food you can
