Oh god. I totally should. I can't think of anything to do with it that doesn't turn into Delicious or Reddit or something. Any ideas?

I have a great idea for a app, but it is not related to memepool. If you are looking for ideas for interesting apps that could change the way people distribute information on the web let me know. It is basically a better mouse trap blog and threaded conversation app and I would love to see someone run with it. I won't bore you with the details, but if you have an open ear to ideas, I could sum it up for you pretty qu…

Just do it here already. Anyone could run with it. :)

Seriously, whats your deal man?

My deal is that I will not let myself be bullied by a person who people support just because he is an angel investor (and they want his money). He's relentlessly attacking me every opportunity he gets for absolutely no reason, and because he knows that people will support him (being a big tech brand name and all) over me (being unimportant).

In what way am I bullying you? Relentlessly or otherwise?

Joshua's story in "Founders at Work" is one of my top three most inspirational tales from the book. The combination of creating something while working a day job (breaking the work down into 15-minute problems he could solve at night) along with the idea of narrow, vertical services that do one thing well--great lessons. While I don't buy into the whole maxklein nerdfight aspect of all this, I do look forward to seei…

delicious was the most successful thing in a long series of projects. there were other successes (but none as big) and many, many failures. there will be more failures. hopefully a few successes, too.

bring back memepool plz

Would you tell about some other projects that you did before delicious? Not necessarily their names, just roughly what they were about. Basically I'm curious whether there was a logical succession or were you just trying out random ideas.

This is taken from Founders At Work, which you should buy (it's great!): Bookbook - Schacter never came up with a name for this, but it's basically an XML file on your website where you would provide a feed and other people would do this and create a central crossing engine that would say, "You have this book and he wants that book, and you are not that far from each other." Loaf - a fully distributed social network…

good list.

Man, what a douchebag you are. I've known Josh for many years and am very happy he's become successful. He is not attacking you. It's all in your head. Please go see a therapist.
