SEOmoz have been seeing extreme volatility in EC2 spot pricing - could this have been related to pre-release testing of Silk? http://devblog.seomoz.org/2011/09/amazon-ec2-spot-request-vo...

I am one of the owners of one of the companies that Ed interned at. He is amazing - proving that opportunity is there if you just go and grab it. Here's what he produced: http://www.distilled.net/linkbait-guide/

I'm one of the founders of Distilled (mentioned in the story) and I also come from a technical background (maths mainly). The thing I love about SEO is that we get to work on harder problems in more fun ways than any other industry I've com

So excited about this. We're thrilled to be involved (and really happy this is now public so we can start talking about it!). I'm going to be writing more on the Distilled site about the whole experience and why we're getting involved / how

You're right. I'm talking about the ones with the pre-requisite knowledge, not the total blaggers. It's hard to address their answers to the questions that don't have right or wrong answers because they answer so well.

Yep. This rings true even of technical graduates. Makes them really hard to interview because they are so good at interviewing ! I think it's an under-rated skill outside oxbridge. I certainly think it's helped me and I only have the very

Is there any way for other companies hiring devs in London to throw our weight behind this?

Really? Is there anything similar in the UK? I don't believe there is - but I generally tend to believe there is less red tape around entrepreneurial activities in the US than the UK (we run businesses in both places).

We are just about to advertise two dev roles (mainly python). In London - no remote options. Email me (address in profile) and I'll let you know when spec is live.

I'm surprised by the eye contact comment. As a brit, I definitely rate eye contact.

This is smart. Wish I'd thought of this. I love hacking GA to do fun stuff. My recent favourite is tracking real page load time (i.e. not just server response times but actual user load times in the wild).

I'd love to chat. I may not be your 'fool' (see other comments) but I may know some. I'm based in central London. I have some contacts. One day I'd like to be making investments like this (he says, not really knowing what you're planning to

I'm really thinking hard for new ones we could add now. I feel like there must be one around how we share knowledge and also how we market ourselves (pretty much one and the same thing). I wonder if we could design language to help people g

Huh. I'm British and I would always use singular for a company (not for sports teams necessarily ref: that wiki link). Are we really supposed to say "Google are having an earnings call on Tuesday"? I would say "Google is having an earnings

Not cool. This is the reason I went with Mozy. How is this hard to predict? It's not rocket surgery.

Yep - essentially this. I have made cold calls in the past and I have no problem with people trying to make a living. However , we get many calls where it's very hard to get the caller off the phone. These are 95% recruiters. Despite the f

The occasional laugh is all (and to see if it was possible - turns out it's not really, at least the way it tries to do it). It's quite broken (see note in code about how I'm not really a developer).
