If I was interested in tagging people, why wouldn't I just post it to Facebook?

"In my experience, employees at Apple care very much what users and developers are saying."
Except employee 0.

Congrats!
How did did you build it?

Ah yes, the house rules. Fair enough.
middlegeek | 15 years ago | on: Poll: If I asked, would you send me your "Saved Stories"?
The response I wanted to click is, "Yes, if you reported it anonymously." What I did choose is "Yes, almost certainly."

This wasn't the title I submitted this with. Does anyone know how it was changed?
(My original title was something about discovering a blue collar version of the Kahn Academy.)

Great job! But I just would have gotten someone with better handwriting to do the board. Also, change that profile picture!

Make your product better than theirs. People pay for quality.
middlegeek | 15 years ago | on: Nobody really gives a damn what you built your site in (why I chose asp.net).
Wow, great insight for a fellow non-CS person who wants to build their own site anyway. I just subscribed to your blog. Thanks!
middlegeek | 15 years ago | on: How would you turn a free classifieds website into a business?
This is a bit outside of the present scope of the site, but how about offering pre-printed yard sales sign for sale online? Possibly you could partner with a site that already provides this and you would make revenue on a referral basis.
middlegeek | 15 years ago | on: I built this 'HN inspired' site. What do you think?
Looks good but the font is a little too big for me liking. I want to see more on a page at a time.
However, great job getting it up and running!

Not quite complete, nowhere does the description say the team is "passionate" about technology and/or design.

The registration form was still live when I just clicked on it.
middlegeek | 15 years ago | on: Ask HN: If I build it, will you pay? (Open photo sharing service on S3)
I would probably pay. My dream solution would back up my pictures and the let me share the ones I wanted to share. (Not a photo hobbyist, just like to take lots of pictures.)

This Hacker News app for Android is my favorite and recently ousted the one listed in this article on my device. Especially useful is the "text-only on viewtext.org." feature.

To you. Remember the demographic that will be using this.
middlegeek | 15 years ago | on: What we have learnt running a bootstrapped startup
Thanks. Okay, maybe I just slightly disagree with them. I mostly agree with the "create value, money will come" philosophy. However I would say create value and if the value is very substantial, the money will come. However depending on how substantial the value is, you may have to work to make the money come along.
I am not saying they are wrong, I would just put a little more confidence behind Guy's statement.
middlegeek | 15 years ago | on: What we have learnt running a bootstrapped startup
"As corny as it may sound, we were particularly impressed with Guy Kawasaki’s ‘Create value and money will follow’ advice when we started up...Had we known then that he was going to create AllTop in future, we would have probably introspected a little more before buying his line of advice."
I don't understand this statement, specifically the reference to AllTop. Can someone offer me some insight?
