The new job board from 37Signals would be a good start: https://weworkremotely.com/ They've been beating this drum for a long time now.

Austin Kleon writes about this a lot, though he calls it chain smoking: http://tumblr.austinkleon.com/post/39051813256 "Instead of taking a break in between projects and worrying a…

There's a company in Austin called Mutual Mobile that got its start in 2009 with a similar app called Hangtime: http://www.texastechpulse.com/interview_with_john_arrow,_mut... They…

Hey Zynga people, we're based in Austin and hiring for front-end. And our culture is pretty much the anti-Zynga: bootstrapped, slow growth, sane hours, no deadlines, strong design …

Intercom is a company specifically focused on user visualization, communication, and engagement. Worth noting for anyone interested in this product who isn't a current Mixpanel use…

Paperless Pipeline - Full-time, Remote - Front-end Designer & Developer We are a small, boostrapped, profitable, and growing company behind the most friendly real estate transactio…

What classes or groups would you want to see in this space? I'm guessing many of the existing tech oriented groups (Austin on Rails, Austin.rb, et al) will start meeting there. Man…

You are on your own for parking...but there are lots near the Omni available for rent starting around $50 / mo. I believe most of the people working there now rent spaces in the St…

I just got a tour of the space...and I think it's going to be a great thing for Austin startups. The startup scene here has been fragmented over the past few years, with little poc…

I agree that an explanation would be an interesting glimpse into the designer's process. However, the author clearly put more thought into this than simply "rearranging elements ar…

This isn't an either / or decision for a company. It makes sense to create a net if you're early in the lifecycle of a company or product—before it's reached product/market fit. On…

Why show the second figure to the user? They don't need to see the calculation you made to determine the sort. Just sort the objects in the order determined by this formula and onl…

That was the author's assumption, but it's not correct. iMessage requires both the sender and the recipient to have compatible devices with iMessage enabled. Even putting your iPho…

The author had already disabled cell service on the iPhone, which is why disabling WiFi should be a sufficient alternative to stop the phone from receiving iMessages.

I believe the author can just turn off iMessage on the iPhone and it'll solve the problem. In fact, simply turning off the WiFi is probably enough as well. In other words, this iss…

I use Notifio. And while it still works, it's no longer being worked on and will probably stop working soon.

I agree. Whenever I defend Foursquare to non-users, I use the "friends sometimes come meet me" explanation. Forecast solves this in a more practical way by providing my friends adv…

I think LessAccounting may have beat you to that particular line of branding: http://lessaccounting.com/

I actually use Evernote for this all the time: I have a note with a list of new acquaintances along with descriptions and how we know one another. Like: Becky: Friend of Kellie, wo…

Path, Stripe, Lemon, Outright, Hall.com (Hacker News user) et al.

This is the goal of OpenVBX. It's not as simple as a few clicks, but it is as simple as Wordpress.org circa 2006.

The original Basecamp isn't going anywhere, so those 6000-ish employees won't be out a thing. They'll just need to advance a few IT years to be able to use Basecamp Next. From the …

I thought SEOmoz and Ginzametrics were almost direct competitors. Does anyone know why you would use Ginzametrics over simply signing up for SEOmoz directly and using that to track…

I'd be pretty mad if my friends and neighbors were taking five-gallon buckets of my water, bringing it to an Aquafina factory, and then an Aquafina sales rep was ringing my doorbel…

The Alamo Drafthouse in Houston was a franchise location and not run by the same owners. In the past year or two, however, the parent company purchased the franchise locations outr…
