   How do you get around the problem of one of these widgets taking forever to load and slowing down your site's render time? I noticed with the "Like" button that it was, on average, too slow to use on our home page. Am I doing it wrong? We

   If you're the type that needs your sleep, YMMV, but I am now the father of four and still a co-founder, so here goes ... NOTE: This is scattershot advice mixed with personal reflection. Salt liberally, expect typos. I started working on St

   Funny you mention XMPP in light of how many times people call [it] "Google Talk" (this seems to draw the ire the folks that know about the real 'recognizable open protocol' underneath).

   Out of curiosity, another industry where this (the small change accelerating an open standard such that there are more winners [a higher tide overall]) is what happened? I'm not saying there aren't any--honest question.

   Unless you enjoyed all the years of usage instead of waiting for a interoperable open standard. :-)

   Thanks! :-) One of our goals is to create weather watchers in much the same way mint.com created budgeters (i.e. get people to enjoy an activity they previously considered mundane).

   This is generally true. However, just for fun, I'll note here that we are/were an extreme case where we spent a lot of time thinking about scaling in the early months and it paid off when we finally got traction (100 visits per day to 2,000

   We launched our first publicly-accessible version of Stormpulse in late 2006. Even though we emailed everyone we could think of (as we had time), our traffic stayed pretty flat (0-250 visits per day). We continued to refine the product, co

    What potential hire would want to risk offending them by turning down their preference, though? You're introducing pressure and sending a signal. Frugality is better applied to ink cartridges than employee comforts, IMO.

    As far as awesome bank experiences where you feel like a valued customer, etc, I couldn't be happier with ING Direct. They are amazing and worth a study for entrepreneurs looking to innovate in a very old space.

    RethinkDB gets my vote. Their openness about compensation is more counter-cultural than all the office nerf wars you can imagine. http://rethinkdb.com/jobs/

    I'd like to know how they chose the quantity for each slot--how did they know "we need X this, Y that, and Z these"? Is there a template for this somewhere? :-) Obviously not--but what was the process like?

    In that Flash piece at the top, I can't click ahead to "Manage your store" or "Secure data" or "Try it free". You have to wait for the movie to progress forward. You should change that.

    Your spark____ examples need retooling. The point of a spark is information density. In the sparkline example(s) you have 7 data points across 75+ horizontal pixels (i.e. very low information density).
