Thank you. I must say, you summarized our core product very well.

Thanks for the feedback. It sounds like we've got some work to do in the 'clarification' department.

Hi Everyone, Longtime daily readers of HN and occasional commenters here. We’d really love your feedback on our new offering. Briefly: Friendbuy has developed a sharing platform (t…

Agreed. You gotta just start programming things that matter to you. I know many good programmers who have non-CS degrees but have been hackers since they were kids. Through trial a…

Gotta love his candor speaking about brands, content and advertising.

I agree, if only because Facebook is primarily a giant photo album.

I haven't ordered any t-shirts yet, but I've been digging this company's user interface to get the design set. Prices seem reasonable. What's really cool is the selection of t-shir…

Our startup was looking for a succinct way to describe what we do (allowing business executives to share their digital roledexes). At first we thought we were a crowdsourcing compa…

I'm using Unbounce now. But they don't have a social/viral component.

Are there any homepage placeholder services similar to launch rock? A single field for email sign up coupled with a viral component that can be tracked?

Open information systems (the internet) leads to all sorts of changes in closed system (Middle Eastern governments, State Departments, the FBI). The internet is fun again.

The new entrepreneurs you deal with, have they worked in other startups before or are they really young? The first thing I did with my company was hire a lawyer. This is the first …

The UI/UX is really nice. Give yourself some credit on that part. One thing to keep in mind: CB worked because it was a communication tool for a very specific community (truckers).…

You've made a pretty nice banner creator. Might be worth looking at partnerships with publishers who have self service ad buying platforms or platforms like PageGage.
