Actually they didn't shutdown their servers, they gave a warning that they would be shutting down by the end of the year.

And how will you define popular blogs? By visits, by registered users?

If they are popular its popularity comes from good content, that should be shared here in HN. Sorry, but I disagree with your idea.

I disliked the logo and the main reason for that is because it is passing an idea that the users don't want to work, just want a job. To informal for a job site.

Well another point to mention is, how will you differentiate from the competition. In the job offers? If don't, would be interesting you find one differentiation.

A positive point is that the design is pretty cool! (except the logo)

This is a very cool service, but the search isn't so good as the idea. I tried to search some composed names and the queries returned a lot of results but none of them were significant at least in the first page :D

Basically I like to hack on money

but I will be starting to hack in internal designs also, because want to buy an apartment ;)

Very cool!

Just take good look in the design, the point that should be improved is the presentation, works on a landing page, improve you logo, the design of the page and it should help you to get new users.

The features are awesome, the idea is more than awesome :D, BUT if you reduce the number of clicks to execute the most common tasks it would be amazing also.

Congratz!!!

Even if it was better than GMail it would take at least a year or two to start replacing Gmail users, until there google will be workig harder adding new features to Gmail what will make users don't switch to Zimbra.

So Zimbra isn't Gmail's killer and won't be anytime soon.

Actually, the ads often help to keep the price of freemium not as high as was mentioned in the article.

Also the Micro-Payments are good for sellers because the customer have less control over what he is consuming, because it's a pain in the %$# check every time how is your consume.

So having less control over your consume the pop up comes faster :D

The point is that searchyc is kind of "hidden", a good percent of participants of HN don't even know their existence, maybe a redesign givin more focus to it, or enabling it use in the current design like adding it to the main page would be great. IMHO

Looks like interesting, it can be improved (like add management, visualization, etc..) but their simplicity is making the difference.

So my karma is very low, at least it's below the average :D

Men! take care with campinas water ;). Just kidding.

My first computer was a 386 already in the age of windows, and I was 6-8 years old :D

Swine flu will dissapear soon!

Please, give some opinions in the subject, if you have any :D

Thank you, I will try to improve the "substance" of my essay, I'm just beggining with writting in english, maybe with the practice I start to cover more the aspects I mention in the essay. Thank you very much for the comment

Sure, I never worked before with open-source communities, thats the reason, and I know that.

Please, can you rate my essay? I'm trying to practice my english writing at the same time I share with you some thoughts :D

It looks like a lot of stuff, but try to do a pile of overestimated assets costing 1 trillion dollars, it wont fill your pocket, and today won't buy anithing.
