After buying a pair boots online last week, I found myself searching social sites to get a better idea of a) what they looked like b) how people like them. This resulted in me real…

From their email: I’m thrilled to announce that Posterous has been acquired by Twitter! The opportunities in front of Twitter are exciting, and we couldn’t be happier to bring our …

Great stuff... I'm working on a similar tool at the moment. Page load speeds were a bit sluggish for me. I'm guessing that's attributable to the large amount of javascript processi…

I was in the same boat. It made the platform unusable. That coupled with some of the worst and most apathetic customer support I have ever experienced, I swore to never go back.

I actually got a lot of leads from my last job search through LinkedIn. Not only did I message connections who were with companies I was interested in, but I found a lot of relevan…

I think the Radegast Beiergarten in Williamsburg ( http://nymag.com/listings/bar/radegast-hall/ ) would be a great place to meet (long tables, beer steins, sausages) and it's very …

Or people that know Adobe...

I live in Brooklyn (Williamsburg) and I know there is a lot of start-up activity around me as well. It's easy to build a web app, but building a beautiful web app requires some inc…

Reddit started in Boston. Although, it may have originally been conceived in Charlottesville (back me up here Alexis?). Regardless, not a Brooklyn start-up. I'm down for NYC YC gat…
