    spend some time getting a fresh design on that site, and show off much more of the social activity on it. Make it look REALLY busy and active, so new users will want to jump in and…

    I have been saying this for about a year now: Facebook has an opportunity to disrupt Adwords. One of the major reasons Google's Adwords makes so much god damn money, is that they 1…

    WHEN IS TWITTER GOING TO TURN A PROFIT??? NO ONE CARES ANYMORE UNTIL THEY ACTUALLY BECOME A BIG BOY BUSINESS AND TURN A PROFIT

    twitter is inherently a spammer's heaven. It's really easy to make 140 characters seem legitimate. An hour of writing spun content and a really easy to build signup bot and you can…

    Why does loading TechCrunch take me 9 seconds? What exactly are they doing to cause such a slow load? Why does a page load for them require 330 requests?

    Sure, but with a system that is active (like HN), there would be enough votes coming in frequently enough to handle the ranking updates and account for time increases without needi…
