A bunch of phonegap apps have gotten in to the app store: http://phonegap.com/projects Maybe that person just got unlucky and had a bad app tester.

#2 is not true. Stories posted automatically via the API won't show up in friend's newsfeeds. But apps can popup a "feed form" which allows users to preview the content the app wan…

I'm not sure how common it is for apps to be making that much, but I know one of the top apps is pulling in $5,000+ a day, and it's by an individual developer. I was making around …

I think this is a very promising idea. I think the idea of an embeddable widget that flips through all your photos (like the videos you describe that inspired the site) would be re…

I think you've got it backwards. Since correlation is bidirectional then the reversal should NOT be meaningless.

Just a guess, but they may feel that having the beta label on a downloadable app tends to turn people off, whereas people don't mind beta web apps (its the norm and they won't scre…

But what does the link do? EDIT: Nevermind, I get it now. I think the idea has some promise, but I'd work on making things more clear on the main page. Maybe have three small scree…

Sorry, I don't understand what this is. There's no ability to add info to the invite page (like event info) so what are you inviting your friends to?

You could work on integrating with the twitter api. Look how much linkage blip.fm is getting on twitter: http://search.twitter.com/search?q=blip.fm

Not sure I understand either. Is this website supposed to be a destination where users go to find good content / entertainment?

That's the point. You play pong with the moving windows that it creates. Nothing malicious here.

Playlist.com is hiring developers. If your a talented PHP, Python or ActionScript programmer get in touch with me at gabe {at} playlist.com. Take a look at our new website here: ht…

I think an option to filter out (or just see) self-referential posts would be great. I actually like AskHN posts a lot, and an option to just see those posts would probably encoura…

While you can probably improve a karma system with decay or a more complicated algorithm, there's something to be said for having a system simple that your users understand. I'd ma…

Anyone know if this uses Amazon Mechanical Turk?

I interviewed a bunch of reddit users for my senior thesis. One thing I found was that the karma system really encouraged participation (not too surprising but worth considering if…

Playlist.com is hiring for a bunch of positions. If anyone is interested feel free to send me an email.

In the interview you mentioned that your monthly burn rate was “in the low four figures". Does that include salaries for your team? Just curious what your cost breakdown is, how mu…

I think it would make sense to allow people to use your app (start building a list of artists) before registering. Just store their list to a cookie and show a little notification …

Some good points, but I'm not sure network duplication is really an issue here. If 100 people want to try to create an entrepreneur network and see if they can get a real user base…

I think halo's critique is pretty much correct. You've done a good job with the site, but I just can't see it gaining any traction against ebay, craigslist, etc.. in it's current f…

One minor suggestion: Would it be that hard to allow me to click and drag the panoramas without having to click that hand button first?
