>What are the key features for an site that would allow you to come in an build website for your niche (donut shops, tow trucks, dentists)? As a previous submission (from Steve Bla…

Maybe something that can use GPS in your car combined with traffic data to let the folks at home know when you are expected to arrive.

Seems to be linkjacked from http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/200x/2009/09/02/Ravelry

Well, there goes my startup idea for converting a steering wheel to a 6 button keypad. Seriously, it was hard enough to "steer" without even looking at the smartphone they had.

Yes, where is the line? Is TechCrunch a "news organization?" It's got a staff and lots of traffic, but isn't it just a really successful blog? Is Joel on Software or 37 Signals a b…

He did make it look easy. It's like he said "Well, you just ask for 100k, get it, build some stuff, get more money and then..." I think one thing that got him inside was the execut…

> Part of the problem is that the search page is dynamically generated; neighborhood-specific landing pages would help capture those more targeted queries. Yes, yes and yes. SEO ma…

First of all, yes, it's another link bait headline. Initially, those are the competitors for sure. But They are already on the first page for the query you listed, so they've go th…

Heh, I knew my site was on the map when spammers found it. :-) I learned about scams that hit renters and landlords, but thankfully I got rid of them fast. Also, people posting wou…

You make a good point there. I've had my problems with selling items on CL. The thing is, it's got so much traffic, that it is hard to get even a sliver of it to go my way. CL also…

My first (only) startup was a rental site. RentHop already has more traction than I ever did. At the time I knew little about funding or how startups worked. Heck, I didn't really …

> Aaron is an insider. He belongs to the club. How is he an insider? Because he went to Princeton? Is he related somehow to Larry, Serge, Bill, or one of the Steves?

All friends listed were hypothetical. I might be able to get 10k from my closest friends and family. :-)

If I get 10k from one friend who has a million, 50k from another who has 5 million and maybe several 1k investments from others, it would be less painful if things fell through. On…

He went to Princeton, so I'm thinking he had some cash among his friends and family.

Their memories might be just fine, but over time they might have realized the glory came from living through danger and not from shooting someone.

With the right binoculars, you can see Steve Jobs standing way up there on top. I do get what you mean about that, but it seems smaller pyramids can be built next to the big ones, …

I don't have statistics to back me up, but I'm fairly certain the odds of survival are considerably higher for iPhone developers.

It seems the same as with any "hit" driven environment. Getting a top-40 song, a top blog, the next NYT bestseller, or top iPhone app takes a lot of work and a little luck. There a…

Wasn't Craig's "list" originally emailed?

You know what Super Achievers don't do? Blog about the secrets of Super Achievers.

I assume the "Watson" is Tom Watson and is one of a handful of golfers who deserves mention alongside Woods. He darn near won the British open at age 59 and, while not a billionair…

Not sure if I am an "expert" on this, but Reddit came out after Digg and sold. MySpace and Facebook came out after Friendster: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MySpace#History http://e…

Is that revenue per user, or overall? My barely-maintained blog makes more than $5 a month in revenue. Maybe some are having a low or no ad site to start out?
