Gee, who would've guessed this would turn into a philosophical discussion.

"People have to realise that an idea is worth nothing. A good idea with great execution has value, but without this execution, it’s worthless. Getting an estimate for execution of …

Yeah, you may have a point there. I for sure won't repeat that mistake again. Having my .com domains snapped away from under my nose is definitely the most annoying part of brandin…

I just bought a domain through said service and today received an email asking me to scan a copy of my passport or similar, or they may cancel the order. Is this common practice?

It took me a couple of weeks before mine disappeared, and during that time I had run searches to double check the availability. The domain name was totally random so it feels extre…

This recently happened me and I posted a thread about it here on HN. Godaddy responded to an angry tweet of mine, saying that they don't pursue this practice and asked if the domai…

Same goes for www.whois.sc that links to www.cheap-registrar.com - a reseller of GoDaddy domains.

Hi, I would like to know which wireframe tool you guys would recommend that is fast and easy to learn and preferably free. Thanks!

Nice article. How are you doing today with users and feedback?

Thanks for the link! Since a huge chunk of the identity of businesses is their homepage, coming up with a great name (or several, so you can test them) that also has an available .…

That's good advice. Thanks very much!

In that case, it's outrageous! What provider should one use to securely search for available domain names?

Hi, Some time ago, I did a few tests on GoDaddy on available domain names and after some creative options, I came up with one that I liked. I then compared the name with some other…

Being in Shanghai, I got this SMS from several sources. It's going to be interesting to see what people choose to do when it starts raining.

I was about to write the same as above. I totally agree.

Cool idea and you seem to have gotten some traction to it too. Looks pretty similar to http://www.wanelo.com/ . Offhand difference I can see is that you allow your users to earn mo…

The demo page is primarily for potential users to provide feedback on the features before building, and it's a bit sloppy but should illustrate what it's all about. Feedback is ver…

OK, cool. So in other words like the "like" button that Facebook has, right? If so, I think the wording "Recommend this" may be a bit confusing. Interested in seeing more.

Interesting. I like the idea about condensing the accomplishments to bite size chunks. How does the "Recommend this" function work?

Kayak, likely still feeling some pressure from the ITA-Google deal and increasingly upcoming competition, has to come up with something new so it makes perfect sense. Besides, hote…

As an "experienced startuper" I strongly agree. Then again, the more experience that is gained from failed startups will hopefully end up with more finish-ups in the end so the res…

True, banking fees really do take up a significant post in the P/L, and the smaller you are, the more you're paying, why it's not optimal for startups. A startup bank would be a co…
