    What's outrageous to me is the government has to pass laws to make sure the banks police their customers. It's non-sense. You should have the right to deposit money with no questio…

    We also want to see taketake thrive and we are doing everything we can to see that happen. My co-founder and I simply can't be leading it anymore. We're burned out and skid off our…

    It didn't cross my mind to be honest. Had much more serious stuff on my mind than April's fool when I posted this. It's not a prank.

    It's 100% real and not a prank, but yeah I guess I should have waited a day before making my post.

    We're not giving away 100% of it. We don't want to have an active role anymore and are willing to give away a majority equity stake to a qualified and competent team who would be t…

    Hopefully we can get a team to take over and then possibly be at Echelon in Singapore. We will see how things develop in the next few days :)

    The site is not completely ready and we got stuck into that non-sense of making everything perfect before we opened it.

    That's a cool idea and we will certainly consider it if we can't find a rockstar team to take over. Whoever wants to take over taketake would need to understand well the technology…

    Well, made a lot of mistakes. Discovered the lean startup principles too late. We should have released an MVP earlier and iterate. Instead we were never really happy with what we b…

    Ask HN: I'm giving away my startup taketake.com for free - who wants it?

    I could go in a long explanation of the personal reasons why my co-founder and I have decided to give away our startup, but let's just say in a nutshell that we've burned out. We'r…

    I would go where Grooveshark users are. Find who they are and reach to them. Use twitter search and other social monitoring tools to find them. http://lithium.com has got a good so…

    Thanks for the feedback! The idea started back in Fall of 2008 when we bought the domain name. The original idea was to create a place where people would give their take - review p…
