We already do that at ShareMeme - http://sharememe.com/welcome/quickmode . You have to a be registered user to use this, and we also offer up the simple forms as well.

Luc Castera is quite possibly one of the best RoR hackers out there. I should know. We're co-founders :)

My friend, I think you're more than set to get into CS grad school. Though please understand, the PhD enterpreneurs are few and far between. Most PhD students in CS and engineering…

From our experience, this has been correct. It may be better said that a lot of time with one user walking through and testing the UX of a site is worth more than several shorter t…

It was a great experience in DC. We met many nice people. I don't know that the startup will survive, and there were less than a handful of exceptions. But in the end it was good t…

My hunch is the answer is: "it depends". How do you measure the growth of your site? Is it based on page views, subscribed paying customers, registered customers, ad clicks? I know…

Ummm... if you've read about any entrepreneur types, their personal lives suffer at the hands of their passion for their idea and startup. Read Founders at Work. It's a recurring t…

I have to fiercely disagree with that point. Tomorrow is never ever promised, as this story about the CMU professor shows. It's impossible to bank time, when you may never have a c…

Most of us probably blog, isn't that writing?
