Sounds interesting. Please drop me a line to talk about the filter concept further. My email is on my profile. I'm also interested in exploring the idea of porting this type of applications to Facebook, and therefore I'm arranging a weekend

But how would you force people to vote?

by waleedka 19y ago
Interesting. I reached the same conclusion. I start by inviting trusted friends and friends of friends to sign up to the community before it's open to the public, and use their voting data as a base to measure against. And, of course, conti

Or maybe you can aggregate the short-lists and generate a report in a few weeks that showcases the most tracked users.

Voted up just because my name is on the shortlist ;) Seriously, though, this is nice.

I'm a coffee shop programmer as well. Not always, but whenever I want to avoid the potential distractions in my apartment (tv, xbox, bed) I take my laptop and work from a coffee shop for the day. It's also a nice change of scenery. The fre

Good analysis. I think Facebook made a brilliant move by focusing on the "utility" aspect. They even describe themselves as such in their tag line. They don't say "a place to meet people", or "connect with your friends", ...etc. They say: w

This is the San Francisco startup weekend. We're in there right now, locked up in a big room, and hacking away our Community Response Web application. It's intense. We'll be releasing today.

Agree. We all know it's hard. But not until we actually try it that we get a real sense of "how hard".

The way things are headed, we'll soon be running most of our applications in the browser. Someone needs to come up with a multi-threaded JavaScript. Yes, I know, it's not going to be pretty.

I agree with Don. Facebook was growing fast and gaining market share before they released their platform, not because of it.

What's really nice about it is that it provides persistence capabilities as well. So you can utilize Google's server infrastructure to save your application data. I believe this makes it so much easier to scale.

Great idea. And, unlike most Facebook Apps, it has potential for continued use after the first time. Best of luck.

Could you elaborate on what it was in coRank that you didn't like? I'm building a competing service and would be interested to know what features users need.

That's what I do as well. And if the logo is not clickable, I feel that something is not right.

You didn't mention what they're putting in!! If they're putting in their time only, just like you, then you should get 33%. However, if they're also funding it, paying rent, bills, marketing budget, ...etc, then you have to consider the am

4. If you put ads from the start, you get to design the Web site with the ads in mind rather than adding them later in whatever space that happened to be left empty.

This has been requested many times, and users are begging for it. PG, is there a reason why it's not implemented? If the implementation is hard, then maybe you can use Google or bigheadlabs's solution!

Too much gray, and too little white space. And the white space issue applies to the listing page as well. But again, these little details are not what makes Web sites succeed or fail. Unfortunately, most of the feedback you get here will p
