LOL. I was actually going for the blending of the terms "Celebrity" and "Web", hence "CeWEBrity". But I see the Elmer Fudd interpretation being valid too :-)

When I interview technical candidates I follow the following process: 1) Ask them to rate their own skills based on the areas of focus found in their resume 2) Completely skip the areas they have self-identified themselves as beginners in 3

I actually think this will be cool, in spite of all the naysayers in the comments following the story. Do I think this will replace traditional browser interfaces (i.e. Mouse and Keyboard) anytime soon? No. But gesture and voice are the lo

This post, short and to the point, is excellent as a thought-provoker. I am currently struggling with finding ways to keep the noise level down, due the number of hats I wear and the large number of systems, and people, competing for my at

I'm an eBook author with several books that pretty much live on the first page of results for their genres, so I have experience in this arena. The recent growth in the eBook market is, in my opinion, excellent for most aspiring authors, bu

This is consistent with Facebook's established strategy. Ultimately Facebook want to make sure that you (the user) will always associate Facebook with positive emotions, not negative ones. It's the same reason that there is no dislike butt

Thanks Untog. You got the gist of what I was saying correct. I'm not referring to what will happen today, or even this year. But the reality is that governments do not have a good track record of allowing large sums of money to change ha

This was a semi-humorous hoax, but Kickstarter has shown a whole generation that crowdsourcing can make serious money for both the requester (the person seeking funds) and for the facilitator (e.g. Kickstarter). It's only a matter of time u

That does not make it a lottery. It makes it a business. The business of making and selling apps is not very different than the business of making and selling shoes, clothes, radios, or hardly anything else you can name. Standard business

I just heard a BBC news spot where one of the interviewees, a law professor if I recall correctly, indicated that the support for CISPA by Facebook and other prominent startups was in order to provide legal cover for just these types of req

Passive income is indeed real, but is often exaggerated. I've been doing quite nicely from my ebooks and ad-supported sites for some time, with no additional promotion or other activities to drive sales since they were each published. Howe

Yep. That seems like a lifetime ago. I'm glad to see you're keeping busy. I also blogged about Pinstagram's signup experience and UI just now. Hopefully that gives you guys an additional boost.

I used to work and train (Wushu) with Pek back in the day (at POW Kung Fu in Chicago). It's great to see a genuinely nice guy doing something that could be very very big. Good luck Pek!

I've, just recently, realized the cure to exactly what ails you Jeremy (having suffered from the same). It's called marriage. I tell my wife what idea I'm working on. Just this simple act sets in motion a chain of events that tends to mak

You're baffled because you, me, and the blog post we are discussing, are guilty of using the wrong terminology. EVERYONE that goes into business has an idea, however not all ideas are a product. In some cases the idea is simply that you d

One good point to make is that solo founders (myself included) often have the same problem. If you're a person that "great" ideas come to very easily, it's easy to stop working on (i.e. abandon) the older idea and jump full-force into the

You're the first one to report a back button issue. Can you give me details on what browser and OS you are using so I can try to duplicate the problem? Thanks.

I hear you. I plan to add the comments. I just didn't have time to do so this weekend. I expect to have them there within the next few days. If you have any suggestions for how best to place them without adding clutter, I'd be grateful.

Good points. The main goal was to make a site that let the visitor consume great content from HN, but without accumulating the clutter of multiple windows and tabs, and without the hassle of hitting the back button over and over to go back

Thanks. I've got my hands full with other projects at the moment. This was a fun weekend project that I will revisit from time to time to add features to, but it is not intended to be a new news site, as such. It's just a different UI fo

I'm not, nor do I claim to be. I'm a fan who wanted a different interface and decided to share it with the community. Thanks for looking.

It does. Quite a bit of it actually. Thanks for trying it out and please do check back later. Based on the feedback I get from the HN community I'd like to add a lot more functionality down the road without adding clutter to the UI.

That's why I kept the terms YCombinator and Hacker News out of the domain name. I felt that HN2 got the point across. As I pointed out in the blog post, HN2.co is my way of paying homage to a great resource by adding additional functional
