Re 5: We did this on our new startup, and had a few complaints we are dealing with now. Just to make sure you avoid them: 1) if you redirect them to a signup page, make it SUPER CL…

Yeps - I also thought the map was a bit confusing to use. It was great until I got to the city level...then it was weird. I didn't read the catch phrase, but totally agree with you…

(nods) Oh definitely true. I spent a summer with one of the BEST team's I have ever worked with (this I measured by their experience, the roughly equal ratio of seriousness to laid…

(First off, Im not a big early adapter or regular web 2.0 site user. So some of these things may not be relevant if you are going for a tech savvy audience) So immediately I think …

Oops - sorry, totally missed this comment when I posted mine. But agreed. :)

I dont think thats a flaw at all. Dude, look at the people who take boring jobs that pay the bills and see their excitement level towards life itself 10 years later. :\ I dont want…

I'd put team as part of environment/atmosphere (or vice versa) - I know they arent perfectly matched, but dont the people you work with directly impact the atmosphere?

Point definitely taken, and I will. I'll also definitely use the Ask HN feature now that I know it exists, since that is what my goal with that one was. I do think there is a reall…

Is this REALLY where books are going? Personally, I still can't imagine giving up a book for another screen in my life. But talking to my hacker-ish friends, I seem to be in the lo…

And who could forget Zuck's photo up in the upper right corner. :D

When did it do that? I was in pretty early, but dont remember that one....woulda been nice!

Eep, I am sorry for that. Yep, I am on of the founders of the site, but not the writer of the post. I was working on the site when we made an announcement about Trogger to some of …

So I found this post on a new community site, and I'm honestly curious. I hear that companies HAVE to use it, that it is a GREAT way to talk with your clients and customers. But I'…

Man, I kinda think this is crazy - but I guess make what sells, heh. I would NEVER want to read a book on my phone; I spend enough time staring at a computer screen, and squinting …

Hahah, you are probably correct there. And yep (Im the writer), you should definitely do a little research before you actively start pursuing someone. Sure, getting to know them at…

A bit of advice from one female entrepreneur, from her experience at start-up parties and tech mixers. Hopefully it helps you score at least A date with that cute young founder acr…
