*assuming this is not an april fools joke I don't usually login to post, but I just wanted to say, although I do not know your situation at all, if you're putting it up due to burn out, please take a second look and make sure what you're doing is for the best. Startups always have their down cycles, so I would hate for you to give away your company if it could be retained in some way, as burn out / down cycle are pro…

I agree completely. Startups can feel a lot like "swimming" a marathon instead of running one, but what great rewards when the really hard work is done. I'm sure there are many circumstances that take anyone out of the game, but I agree with you. Maybe they could wait a while longer and see if they get through their down cycle??? I wish them good luck whichever way it goes!

I just want to encourage you guys to go on. It's really a cool site and this is coming from someone who doesn't do much social networking. Given that already quite a number of HN readers are impressed, maybe you can recruit a small bunch of us to help develop, grow the user base, raise money, etc., in return for some upfront equity.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

expensive ? seems it would be to get them to produce a video ? are you able to share the cost ?

I'd rather not say here, but it's a bit on the pricy side but totally worth it.

yeah - >$5K - hot upwards or cold downwards ? :)
