Couldn't agree more with the sentiments above. The name needs to be changed as does the home page copy and the tag line. the addition of a tour and screenshots would be very helpful as well. Beyond that, I was surprised at how different my

Palringo's new pr firm is very well-liked and respected. Expect to see a lot about them in the coming months...

I think some important areas to cover in such a post might be: What do you do? What have you done? What do you want to do?

A less-known employer looking for talent on a job board has very few ways to distinguish itself from the pack. Looking for a "rock star" may be one of the ways it tries to do so. Tacky? Most certainly. Effective? Probably not. I don't know

Personally, I think socialthing is much more interesting because it's not an aggregator but a portal. The user adds services and that's it. If supported, all of your social sites can be monitored from one place without the need to dig for f

I'm not just trying to sound contrary here, but I feel like the battle to make the Windows OS usable is all but lost. As long as people have been trying, it hasn't and probably won't happen. You just can't build a palace on quick sand. MS w

Works fine on my N95-4. Maybe it's the iphone that's not optimized for HN. ;)

Agreed regarding a video. It's a nice addition to have on an About or Tour page but never rely on a video to be the piece of content that tells potential users who you are and what you do. You guys have a terrific and unique service offerin

How about linking in to facebook, twitter, etc and monitoring key words, symbols and punctuation in status updates to contribute to a user's wellness level? Example: :) = wellness up, :( = wellness down.

On this note, I love the concept and the simple design but with all of that open real estate on the homepage you might consider one short explanatory blurb to greet visitors and pull them right in.

It is indeed one of my favorite web services out there. You've come at an interesting time as they've just undergone some major design revisions. If it's a bit slow at times, stick with it because it'll be back to normal soon enough. Make s

Thanks for your insights. I too might be skeptical if the shoe was on the other foot, but I did my best to convey my message and the general responses seem to indicate that I did a pretty good job of that. My advice? If you need help, email

Ah - thank you sir, on both counts!

So apparently there's a time limit on post edits. I had planned to edit the OP and point to this response as it is now buried. Anyone have an idea as to how I can make this comment more visible? I assumed a new post would be inappropriate..

Awesome - so glad to see enthusiastic responses! Let's give it a go then... As I said in the OP, I will be more than happy to assist startups with one piece of marcom at no charge. No I'm not a dealer handing out free fixes, I just don't ha

As an aside, my etrade savings account yields just north of 5% interest. Might be worth looking into in the interim and even more so if you plan to trade yourself. Is etrade a safe bank? Well, I've had money there for quite a while and in t

A huge success unless you consider that the iPhone 3G was launched in 20 additional markets compared to gen1 (21 countries as opposed to 1) and on sale for an additional 10 hours during the opening weekend (8am on Friday as opposed to 6pm).

That question is way too broad. What are you selling and to whom? What are your goals - brand awareness, memebership boost, etc? There is no one solution for every company and every product; web-based or otherwise. [oversimplified:] I would

Wow, it must be 2007 again. "Facebook chat is coming! Facebook chat is coming!" No one cared then, no one cares now.

I'm in a similar boat, in a way. I'm currently playing with the idea of founding a web service-based company but as I research the technology behind my concept (I would be a non-technical founder) I continuously come across accounts of how

Thanks for that link - fascinating story about a fascinating life. As "clippy" as it was though, I have to wonder how much great conversation was edited out...

He mentions in the post that it was a name other than his own: "Did it not occur to you at all that someone at "marko.[redacted]@yahoo.com" was not actually me? For example, because the names didn't match?"

Kudos to Apple Support - they responded to that grammatical marvel of an email so fast! The poor guy probably will probably need to spend weeks undoing their mess... Can't wait for Apple's response.
