About gregw100

I've played soccer since I was four years old. I've been described as outstanding and wonderful. My first computer was a Packard Bell with a 1GB hard drive running Windows 95 . My dream is to one day rule the world (or at least start my own company).

    Luckily Google hasn't quite yet nailed what I'm trying to do with my startup. If you want to contribute to a project in this space that could potentially transform the way we inter…

    Ask HN: Open-source a startup?

    I've been building my startup for the better part of this year, but have come to a point where I no longer can afford to pay designers or programmers. However, I'm entirely focused…

    Hi, I am looking to change hosts. I've used services such as Bluehost, HostGator and Network Solutions. I've been thinking about moving to Amazon EC2 or another service, as I plan …

    Thanks. That looks like what I'm looking for. I'll check it out some more.

    Ask HN: Best team management site for software?

    I have been using plan.io for my project management, but decided I want to see what else is out there. I recently signed up for Asana, but what I don't like is there is no reposito…

    True. And, if possible, eventually expanding into the original segment is always a possibility. It's all about finding an untapped niche or one that needs some new tapping.

    Thanks for that. It was a real eye-opener. I knew that China's debt stake was less than everybody complains about, but I didn't know the exact numbers. Sometimes we need a little d…

    They're not exactly hiding that. We're all aware that those two companies, along with others, collect our information and generally use it to promote relevant products or what thei…

    I would assess the strength and execution of your competitor's product, then decide whether you think you can build a better product. Google didn't quit building a search engine be…

    I couldn't reply to your last post, so I'm replying directly above it. That's a good idea. I've thought of that, but 1. I'm not a very outgoing person and don't know if I would be …

    I've come to that conclusion that I can't keep my idea a total secret, otherwise it will never see the light of day. At first I was entirely vaulted. As for the site, it's a social…
