I agree - given that Google has now acquired Like.com and they would be (very) unlikely to bring any lawsuit, why can't the company just re-launch - even if they have to bootstrap ?

I founded a startup with my brother 5 years ago - we launched in my two weeks paternity leave from work. For the first 4 years we both held down full time jobs and worked on our startup every evening. I had my 2nd child when the startup t

Really like both Sendoid and LetsCrate - good work guys. Just to shamelessly plug another link - a project that i've been working on (for the past 6 months) aimed at super simple file sharing : http://www.filepigeon.com - hope you don't

I often forget sites that I have previously visited (sometimes years) before as such I tend to bookmark as much as possible things that I will find interesting or useful at some point in the future.

You could try http://www.favilous.com - I know the founders and they are in the process of building an importer for Delicious bookmarks. They originally launched back in January on HN - http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1060022 .

Personally I really like this - shows the human side to a company rather than the standard corporate spiel you receive on normal shipping notices. Agreed it could become tiresome 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc time but if they added some detection as t

Have been thinking of switching to Clicky for my analytics - this could just push me over the edge. Looks a nice app.

I have recently released a paid app - which has turned up in the top 10 sports section in the UK for both iPad and iPhone. I have designed this for the very latest version of the iOS - i'm guessing i'm losing sales doing this - have you or

Good article - with regards the first point - Sin #1: Pride - "Showing off your customers. People want to use tools that big brands use." - Would you need to get permission off of the big brands to use their brand on your site ? Or the fac

I wonder if there are some financial regulation rules which prevent banks from using these tools ? I personally don't see a problem though if they are just promoting themselves and potentially some financial products - however i'm not lega

It doesn't sit 100% comfortable suggesting this was a 'mistake' - not saying this doesn't work - just that I don't feel entirely comfortable with it. To follow up on this - with A/B price testing how does this work when you are lowering and

Very interesting. The concern I could see with this would be that you raise your price for a few days - you get a few takers but not as many as you hoped, so you lower the price back down to the original levels. I'd be a little concerned t

Thanks for taking time out to comment. As you say Unscatter seems a similar idea and we can see where you're coming from re: context. We hear you on the speed - this is what we are trying to focus on - make this a super quick, great user ex

Presently we are using the various API's that are available for each of the services that we are linking into. We have some custom code which interogates this data and renders it to the user. In respect of historic searches and storing of
