Why would you use Sendgrid over Amazon SES - SES is like 1/10th the price.

LoL - this whole product is like a joke... Your solution to having to fit the whole db into RAM is to buy more RAM... OK!

You'd think their CTO would know that...

Except saying you are fat and ugly when you're actually Brad Pitt doesn't really do anything. Getting sued for BS causes undue stress, time, money, etc.

WOW - AMAZING & COMPELLING STORY. 2 THUMBS UP. wtf is this doing on HN?

Kayak could copy this UX in a day if they wanted. I don't think even $15mm (even if it was all spent on marketing) is going to see much of an uptick for hipmunk. I bet priceline, k…

Well you said it yourself - if you don't want to pay for a fancy case - don't get a mac...

I swear he is the world's luckiest person. Implodes Digg, somehow gets $ out and does angel investing. Gets his next pos start-up bought out for an ungodly sum for doing nothing an…

I can't believe this joke of a company raised $ to display infographics.

LoL - Fb could build that pos in 2 hours.

I'm so sick of these DDG stories. The truth is no one uses them, 99.9999% of people outside SV have never heard of them and currently there is no reason to switch to them.

Offline ads for direct response are easily measurable with tracking numbers. Branding ads - well - I have no clue how they track any of that - but then again how do you track a CPM…

Because Digg was enormous and now it's worthless?

I've never used turntable, thought it was dumb, but did it ever make $? Did they ever even have a plan to make $? Seemed like a giant fad to me and can't believe they raised $ succ…

Who didn't see this coming... Hype... funding... doa.

Only way I can see them fitting into $100bn valuation is if they come out with an AdSense competitor that not only is contextual, but if you are signed into FB also based on your l…

I don't get how there is even 1 company that manage to survive doing something so simple. I've argued this before - recurring billing is super simple, no need to pay someone to man…

Maybe b/c pando is a total bust and he doesn't need to be a part of it. Even the site design makes it hard to read. I figure if there's something ever good on there I can read it h…

Cool - thanks.

I'm not criticizing, I'm wondering what their returns are. We know YC has had some huge hits... has 500?

Because you can't do the due diligence a VC firm does when you invest in 250 companies.
