"Isn't there a difference between startup and random web-based tool?" smacks of sarcasm to me. Of course I value constructive criticism, even complete dismissals of an weak idea. I'm just turned off by the schadenfreude seen on web-indus

If you're interested in simple game design, you should consider experimenting with Flash. Websites like http://www.kongregate.com/ and services like http://mochiads.com/ could help with distribution and revenue on what might otherwise b

I, for one, welcome our new 14 year old overlords. On a more serious note, I want people interested in Arc here. People after top ten lists and Kevin Rose gossip, not so much. (I still love Digg though. No need to be snooty.)

Lots of different places to work - from a 24" monitor attached to the MBP in the "office" to the Eames lounge in front of a big TV. Add the coffee shop down the street and I'm set. Note - don't forget about ergonomics!

There are a number of well funded and executed takes on the idea in addition to the ones you listed: http://www.socializr.com/ http://going.com/ http://eventbrite.com/ Perhaps the problem is that none of them are a 10x improvement ove

I've been doing the same thing for a few years now. I try to "leave the house" - shopping, eating out, etc - every day. Having a dog also helps. I am happiest when I have an active social life (out 2-4 times a week), although this can be di

I've developed a Twisted Python crawler that does something very similar to that. The possibility that it would work well seemed dubious at first, but I've been pleasantly surprised with the results. Email me at johnwehr@gmail.com - I'd be

Check your CSS. When I first used jQuery it wasn't working as I had expected it to. The stylesheets were invalid and apparently causing problems. Since then I haven't run into any issues with IE or otherwise.
