You can click through on referring domains to see the exact URL, but the URL parameters, which are often relevant/useful, aren't shown. For example: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=461131 would show up as: http://news.ycombinator.com/item

Looks like it's using geolocation. It says here "JA," yes in Dutch.

Worked fine, but this is at least three years old.

I've used this tool for a while myself, thought I'd share it: http://dxl.yamm2.com/domeintest.php

QuirksMode offers a lot of help, especially on tricky cross browser issues. http://www.quirksmode.org/js/contents.html

Like in any crowded business, you have to have an edge to succeed. There are tens, if not hundreds, of thousands hosting providers out there, so competition is gonna be very though. However, if you already have a big client list (say, as a freelance webdesigner) or add some value to your hosting packages (e.g. a new, supersexy blogging platform), you can have good business. Competition on price is surreal, especially with a reseller package.

Whoa, isn't a 50% cut a bit too much for Weebly?

TED.com doesn't let you upload videos. The site only hosts videos from its own conferences and the player is probably custom-made.

Care to share how you hacked this together?

Great idea. Why do you think it is unmonetizable?

Little tip: On the sign-up page, there's a big line between the "Set Up Your Account" and "Set Up Your Site" form. It looks as if it are two separate forms and you should choose one. Maybe you can tinker with it a little bit to make it look more as one whole.

It isn't very strange actually. Bill Gates's value is based on the last closing price of Microsoft, and Zuckerberg's is based on the last "closing price" (although a few months ago) of his company. Shares of Facebook have been sold but they are not sold on a regular basis (such as every few seconds, as is the case with MSFT). That's the only difference. Now, you might argue that Facebook is overvalued, but then it would no longer be an objective list.

I'm not sure, but I think WenomousVit is referring to the American Dream, the idea that everyone could become rich and successful if they just work hard (thereby implying that those who aren't rich/successful should blame theirselves). Another thing is that American children are indoctrinated with patriotism and nationalism, which - maybe surprisingly to Americans - are two rather dirty words in other countries - at least in Holland, where I live. Then there's a more implicit message in "One Nation Under God" (the national motto) that faith/religion (especially Christian) is the norm and all else is Unamerican.

But again, I don't live there, so it's hard to judge for me as well.

No, censored is when it's reviewed before publication. Hacker News is edited however, and in some rare cases spam/troll posts are deleted, like on this occasion.

I must say, I just love the login window.

But seriously, what are you making? A flash-based webtop? Please give us a little more information and get us excited :)

"Your site could sell text link advertisements at a rate of approximately $1,087,500/Link/Month.

If you sell eight links, you could earn approximately $8/Month selling text links on your site."

Right...

Here's a video of how Parker does it: http://youtube.com/watch?v=SkS5PkHQphY

The writing is mostly VB Word macros, but impressing still.

My name is Daniël. Not sure though if writing that wasn't possible before...

"Early this morning Goldman made an awfully timely call, putting out an analyst note at 3:56am PST suggesting that Microsoft should buy Yahoo -- only to freeze analyst coverage of Microsoft at 6:55 AM PST on the news that Microsoft has offered to buy Yahoo and it is providing i-banking support" http://paul.kedrosky.com/archives/2008/02/01/yahoomicrosoft....

Now that's a coincidence...

The market is reacting very positively: Yahoo is up almost 60% in pre-market trading, at a market cap of $40B (up from $26B at yesterday's close). Microsoft is down 4% however.

Filing patents when you know that prior art exists should be punished.

You're awesome. I indeed missed it at the top bar or as autodetectable.

Why is it that the quality of every new social news goes down so rapidly?
