any way to turn your designers into promoters? some kind of bizmodel remiz of the standard croudsource--->you--->client model, to provide a feedback loop or lead generator?

A truly useful article on logo design, the importance therof, etc, that would have enough useful info to be shared...

anyway to leverage your croudsource content providers for network effects? still working on that idea, but it is your maximum point of interactivity.

not enough info to synthesize much of an idea, outside of the blindingly obvious that you have surely explored (SEO, press release, blogs, etc)

lillypad ready?

I would buy clothing that was utility oriented with high quality, maybe with special tech oriented features, but not if it had "HACKER" plastered all over it.... A logo on the tag would not be obtrusive.

Exoseq | 14 years ago | on: Facebook hates the handicapped?

While I Agree with giraffe in principle, there is certainly a distinction, as there are people who are "disabled" due to the nature of their disabilities, so in this way it is fundamentally different from a racial slur, insofar as it reflects a matter of degree.

Also, by definition, "having a disability" implies being "disabled" in some degree.

That said, calling all people with disabilities categorically "disabled", while lexically and logically correct, does carry a clearly inaccurate and prejudicial -implication- that a person with a disability is somehow -less capable-. In this, giraffe is correct, that the use of "disabled" in this way can easily convey an inaccurate connotation of reduced capability, an thus its usage in this way is both unenlightened and potentially prejudicial - but I could hardly put it into the same category as a racial slur, which is clearly intended to diminish or marginalize.

regardless of the designers intention, it is nonetheless a potential side effect that such an extension might open up play to a wider audience, including people with varying levels of ability or impairments.

Exoseq | 14 years ago | on: Facebook hates the handicapped?

true enough, that is both a more accurate and more humane representation.

Exoseq | 14 years ago | on: Ask HN: What's a good practical web language to learn?

I'd go with Javascript / Node.... 1 JS is universally deployed (1 language to learn) 2 JS works pretty well as a functional language, which is becoming much more important of late 3 Node(still a work in progress) covers the server side too, and the result is a scalable, single language solution.
