   Have to add in this page which shows hundreds of users http://glogger.eyetap.org/viewall.php Justin clearly proves you don't need an original idea to get buzz, sponsors, and funding. Execution and timing can take you far.

    Vote up if you don't want to see every blog post listed here. Isn't the idea for people to submit links others may not already know about? http://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=usablecontent

    If craigslist would put their listings on Google Base it would be the listings market would shrink even further. Compare craigslist broker listing fee of $10 vs yahoo's fee of $49.95.

    VC bloggers and linkedin.com must be killing their paid subscription based website. $45 a month for a basic plan and no info for their pro plan. No wonder their startup funding leads have dried up in 1Q07. "The Go BIG Network Small Business

    That was fun. I just started a game with the others there called "kill purple." I wrote that in the chat and then started drawing in purple. Other colors then squashed me. This could end up being top productivity killer. Put the power of pe

    Yes, they use bots to beat cheaters http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~biglou/ESP.pdf That's different than using bots to interact with legitimate users. Watch Luis von Ahn's presentation of the ESP game at http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8
