This is something that will be exciting to developers who don't want their side projects anymore. The other side of the marketplace will be more difficult. I think your market for …

I think you should get rid of the word Beta. It's a "kid friendly" site that a bunch of moms are going to find through search. None of them are going to know what that means. That …

I had a similar idea a while back but it didn't have as noble a goal. Really just another time waster but I could (and still do) see some potential. It was going to be an extension…

That's interesting. I'm not sure how common it is but I sign in all the time by doing just that. I just always try to use sites immediately because they usually cause signing in (o…

This could be great. You need to monetize in a better way. Make searching free for everyone (cause no one is going to pay for it). Then, package up some pre-built searches (backlin…

Does anyone else just want a written description of things? Make it look pretty. Create beautiful pictures/characters throughout the page. I don't care. I just want a good explanat…

> Anyway, what are you worrying about? Another 9/11? Yes. Of course. I want NSA to keep horrible things like that from happening. Yes. There are other ways to die than terrorist at…

> A constant state of fear, always at war, our enemies are about to attack us. Isn't this what North Korea fuels the fire with? If you think a country this size could ever reach th…

I think your comment was intended for me. Their goal is protect the US. Do you think there are no threats within our borders? Seriously Americans, what's wrong with you? See? We ca…

One, I don't think the NSA isn't allowed to spy domestically. The NSA is charged with collecting foreign and counter intelligence in an effort to protect the interests of the US. I…

Is anyone else still trying to understand the goal here? I know the big lofty goal is to cause NSA to stop spying on people but what will convince people that they have stopped? Is…

I've used mezzanine before but ultimately removed it from the code. If you're interested in adding a company blog to your app's domain, it just touches too many things and makes a …

I've actually wondered about this a bit before. You're kind of the "Marketing Engineer" around here so I'll ask you. Do you do what you described in option 1 or 2? I know you use W…

I think the design looks pretty good and the service sounds fine. The trust issues you may have are in your grammar. Because the website is written in English, I assume you want to…

Things like this don't make great revolutions. People won't care enough. People need to see a real threat to their lives before you can get an uprising. They have to be hungry or h…

In my experience twitter is just a bunch of marketers trying to sell each other stuff. More specifically, it's a bunch of marketers' tweetdeck accounts trying to sell stuff to othe…

If you're going to build something specifically for this interviewer, you should make it useful to him/her or to his/her company. Maybe think of some data their company would find …

agreed

I agree strongly about coloring whites red and calling foul on well-meaning participants. Sure a lot of these guys might be pretentious, smarmy jerks but that's no excuse to act li…

Hmmm... I really expected you to break and at least hint that you were joking...

Agreed. Those who would love a replacement really have very little say in the matter. That's what anyone selling enterprise-y software has to deal with. You're usually selling to t…

You need to turn DEBUG off in Django.

Not positive who you're trying to attract but if it's the average Joe, "A daemon will get the tweet from Twitter’s API and create a new event with the extracted date and descriptio…

I have no experience in this domain at all but just taking a shot at answering you. Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, and more I believe are all producing original content now. They're huge b…

Completely agree. Idea sites like firespotting and halfbakery just turn into a really good way to waste your time. If you have a reasonable idea, do some research on it. If it turn…
