love mixpanel, keep up the great work

love to know how much of the HN community suspected this -- when can we get an instagram poll?? :)

this feels like such a clickbait piece. hope usa today pleases their advertisers. speaking for where i was born & raised, there is little semblance of crime in the great majority o…

need to set up a way to make our new venture into a real business (making $$). what are the different considerations we should have as we evaluate the options? which have the lowes…

i'd like to think a guy that has been at the center of the technology beat with some of the best opinions in the biz is a good person to have on the VC side.

twitter is the most powerful tool if used properly. you can cultivate a rapport that can translate into a relationship before you know it...and for companies like ours that are com…

agree with the guys above...sounds like a pretty easy solution to me. i think there's a lot of positives that can come from a standing desk. more than anything, it's a much healthi…

when 2.4mil are following an account, it's safe to say word will spread :) feel like i've run into the issue with facebook likes before. have they really not resolved it by now?

Just got featured in 'Spark of Genius' for http://www.GoRankem.com -- even at ~1130p EST on a friday night the tweet stream is out of control! Here's the article: http://mashable.c…

love it, mike. you in miami? as for a simple request, our startup ( http://gorankem.com ) should be getting a nice mashable writeup soon enough tonight in their spark of genius fea…

yeah, was already planning to pass along the mashable story to other industry specific writers and ask 'em "did you catch our mashable writeup?" and hopefully it could snowball fro…

tentatively set to be profiled in Mashable's 'Spark of Genius' feature tomorrow for http://GoRankem.com putting together a checklist for the team: -tweet, fb share, google +1 & stu…

been wondering ... how's the job market compare for bizdev types in the valley & SF?

when i'm working from home, i love breaking up my late morning with exercise right before lunch. it allows me to take a step back from the morning work & clear my head. also doesn'…

call me naive, but other than YC & 500 startups, when i think mountain view, i think the startups turned corporations (google, linkedin, etc). i think mountain view is much more of…

thanks for the heads up. i just wish influential sites like crunchbase were not reliant on compete...

I imagine a lot of lurkers (myself included) tend to use compete, quantcast & alexa for tracking other sites. When it comes to your personal site not being reporting correctly, hav…

like you acknowledged, i'm not sure how much weight i'd put in brand awareness when many view myspace as a laughingstock these days. plus, all that traffic is ramping downward at a…

i'm long overdue to adopt a program, but now that our b2c startup is entering the b2b market, it's definitely time. here are the three biggest things i'm looking for: -notification…

biggest issue i had: ran into the same problem i have on youtube, grooveshark,etc -- i may be able to think of a song or two to play, but then you freeze up and can't think of anyt…
