These drones are useless if you don't have the satellites that control them. unless they plan on using it only under the satellite that they had recently launched.

It seems that every author that writes about being in a bubble thinks that they are the only ones that can see it. ignoring the fact that everyday an article hits front page of HN talking about being in a bubble and no one can see it.

So when everybody is saying that nobody is seeing the signs of a bubble does that mean that we are in a bubble?

You do have a point. Because Live Mesh has been around for like 10 years. It was suppose to do exactly what Dropbox does.

eh. 5Gb? Skydrive has like 25

Instagram was worth $500 million right before the purchase. it got doubled to 1bil If nyt was gonna get bought it would get multiplied by 2 so around $1.9billion.

Yeah. It makes no sense. It's like comparing apples to oranges.

An outline of the plan http://classfy.tumblr.com/post/20711443868/outline-for-class...

Here is the outline of the plan:

added some features to http://classfy.com

I'm not sure what you mean. But Livemesh/skydrive is exactly like dropbox. You choose a folder on your computer to sync and it syncs for you. I use the skydrive browser app on my android too. The surprising thing is that it has been around for a long time. But like many msft products, it is not well promoted.

I have been using Microsoft LiveMesh/skydrive recently alongside dropbox and it has been working flawlessly. What I like about is the huge space compared to dropbox and that you can sync multiple folders without plug-ins or anything hacky.

I'm not going to lie. I did that for a good 5 minutes

You should look into the Bloomberg Terminal and try and build something similar to it. http://www.entrepreneur.com/article/204898 http://www.bloomberg.com/professional/

Keep in mind that the bloomberg terminal costs like $1500 a month. So if you do manage to build something even remotely familiar you should stop trading and sell the machine.

I was just going to say that until Bitcoin are safe and easy to use for the average consumer it will never gain mainstream use.

Am I the only one who thought this was about BitCoins.

Because I think Bitcoin wont work in it's current form.

my first academically forced language was Java and now I hate java the most. I wonder if more people hate the first language they got taught.

Wow. Sublime is used more than emacs and look at me here thinking i'm the only one.

I actually found the exact same thing :)

The users on Macrumors can list on Classfy and then post their link on their forum posting. Think of it like a image hosting. Many forums have their own attachment feature however people prefer to use image hosts. Also another reason why to post on Classfy is that their listing is visible to everyone on Classfy and Macrumors.. Mac rumors will get lots of traffic from this as the users will see that many of these Macbook related posts are from people from Macrumors forum.

Heatware is pretty good for feedback, if they facilitated transaction it would have been even better. We are not really trying facilitate feedback of every forum transaction only those that occur on Classfy. However we respect people's previous feedbacks and so You can add your heatware profile to your Classfy profile.

The problem is that launching any marketplace you are faced with the chicken and egg problem. To try and get passed this problem we have released this as more of an MVP. Maybe forum users wont embrace our site but another niche might. So we will pivot towards them. There are MANY niches that need their own marketplace but currently don't. Take a look at http://www.coalmineclassifieds.com/ there is also another one for Oil and Gas and agricultural. Innovation is not evenly spread out in many areas of tech the reason is developers innovate because they want to solve their own problems. How many Techies are familiar with enough with the coal industry in order to disrupt it with a marketplace only dedicated to coal. Which probably will be very lucrative

Yeah some very big forums already have this. But it's not very well executed. Example: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=2429403

On Classfy right now you can add your forum username and the url to your profile. There is no way to authenticate the user but if many members from a forum join and list with classfy. We will arrange something with the owner of the forum to authenticate the users.

I have added a reddit authentication system too.

I think you are 100% correct on going against eBay.

We don't want to do that even though it may look like it.

Through some research and suggestion of others. We found out that there are lots of transactions taking place on the internet on no particular platform. They are done on forums, Facebook, twitter(as Status update)..ect. The reason why they don't sell on eBay is because eBay takes too much time and has too much hassle and it's expensive. I used to be an online seller. But never on eBay. I used to flip websites and offer my services on various SEO forums. There are hundreds if not thousands of communities that sell their stuff in their own forum section. They do this because it's free, simple and quick. I agree that pulling people away from eBay only based on the simplicity and being free is going to be hard.

That's why we are open to pivoting to the particular category that might use our site the most. For example if the bitcoin community starts using Classfy more than others, we will become a bitcoin marketplace. If people start selling car parts on classfy then we will pivot to that category.

However I love the idea of becoming a front-end tool for eBay and mixing the results with listings on Classfy.
