Oh heck, give it another shot. I found it awkward and tiring on the legs for about two weeks. Give yourself at least that amount of time.

It's worrisome you would ask a bunch of strangers what profession you should take up. We don't know you from Moses. We don't know if you like crossword puzzles, make your own maple…

Mother Theresa once said: "When I look upon the masses I can do nothing. When I look upon the one, I can do something." Find someone to help. Help them. You have then changed the w…

To make yourself more desirable to employers, I'd have personal projects that demonstrate your abilities. I'm a freelance writer slash "creative". I've been that way for over five …

Unfortunately, this scoring of comments and karma preys on my OCD and competitive personality. However, until I get psychological therapy from a certified professional, I kindly as…

I'll bet Firefox's plump user base has shriveled up like a raisin since starting this updating schedule to version 7. Using Firefox is annoying. Simply activating the browser becom…

I'd hustle and follow Seth Godin's formula first. It will tighten your pitch and increase your understanding on how people use your product. With this information, your Adwords cam…

Go towards your pain. Fix it, then share your solution with the world.

I like the app btw. It's fresh. I'll continue using it.

Add taxi drivers to the mix. I've got the theory hairdressers and taxi drivers have a better sense of the moods and attitudes of society than anyone, even politicians. In aggregate…

I tried using BeOS back in the day, but it was a BeOtch to get the drivers working. Linux in it's many flavours ended up being enough to scratch my geek itch.

Pandora for snacks: awesome tagline and concept. This would make a great gift for kids (of all ages). One suggestion: change the look of your site. Add pictures of candies. Make my…

I don't know of many, sorry. I think the time is ripe for a startup to own this market though.

I'm enthusiastically behind the ridesharing idea. It's ecologically intelligent, saves people money and the hassles of vehicle ownership, and with looming fuel price spikes/peak oi…

YC is losing it's cool factor IMO. The startups are a letdown, especially this year. The ideas and business models are weaksauce. They're paraded out like rock bands but haven't ea…

As a solo founder myself, I just want to congratulate you on launching what looks like an interesting and promising business. I'm particularly impressed you got the domain name hou…

This idea and business model fail to rock my universe, but it immediately rocketed to the top of the front page, so they must be doing something right.

On my iPhone, it redirects to a mobile version login page. No option to register, or to see what your app is about. Now I've got to get off my lazy ass and turn on my PC to even se…

I've noticed that the YC funded startups this year are particularly derivative. I guess the safe(r) money in this glum economy is in iterative also rans. It's depressing though. Th…

I haven't used Hipmunk because Kayak has always delivered results quickly and painlessly. Hipmunk reminds me of Macro Economics in college, and how I had to extract so much informa…

Does YC invest in innovation? If so, why am I not seeing innovative startups? If not, is it because iterative 'also ran' stuff is a safer investment?
