   Made me chuckle - I'd forgotten that we were "Startup News" back then too. Posts of interest for me include: - The original DropBox post - Paul Graham's business plan for ViaWeb - People back then complaining of addiction to YC News :) Othe

   Thanks for clarifying, I hadn't realised this - is this the case for all major Chinese cities ?

   This all pre-supposes that you're shooting for VC funding. You could argue that it's small-minded to think that's the only way to make a go of your big dream.

    Most of the comments so far have focused on the fact that tagging may benefit readers before clicking through on a post. I actually think the benefits of tagging would biggest after submission. Namely: - If you could view articles by tag

    Good grief. ExactTarget's website is off-putting - they appear to be one of those "I can't quite work out what it is that you do" companies, complete with a 10 page signup form just to see a demo of their product, and various "whitepapers".

    Thanks for the explanation of how you decide. I guess since there are no explicit references in the HN guidelines it's up to each user to make his or her mind up themselves.

    What do you consider grounds for a down-vote then ? (this is sincere question)

    What resources would you recommend for learning more about SEO (either online or in books) ?

    Yep just from images (and Google) - I examined one of the images from the post at a higher resolution (by clicking on it) and took a look at the map on the right-hand side. It was a map of Thailand, so that gave me the type of restaurant. F

    Yep, maybe a timescale would help. However, I still have some beef with the chart and the mindset it perpetuates. I just don't like the idea of hiring "managers" before profitability is reached. Seems crazy to me.

    I confess I haven't read Steve's book (and probably should), but in the context of this post that flow-chart is misleading if it doesn't accurately represent his position.

    Interesting post, but the first flow-chart seems to perpetuate the (Silicon Valley oriented ?) mindset that a startup should be pursuing: * Rapid growth * Frenzied hiring * Profitability relatively late in the game What about d

    Good to hear you would recommend Nginx. Would you mind expanding on how you use Nginx and haproxy together ? Do you front haproxy with Nginx or vice-versa ?

    The post from Avand was largely hyperbole and headline-grabbing, and your reponse here is little better either. Calling-out other posters as "a joke" does nothing to foster rational debate.
