I am looking for a technical co-founder to integrate oAuth / @Anywhere and a couple other key changes to my existing Twitter app. It's written in RoR and housed on GitHub.

Has viral potential! Virtually every Twitter member can relate to this app. Please get in touch via contact form on my personal site with any questions. I would also enjoy viewing your previous work.

I was going to suggest this. That novel is so epic. It's actually Jeejah(s).

It's rather ridiculous to me how they can shut-down the notion of the "coincidences" that make Earth so extremely unique to support life. The precise placement of the moon, the composition of our core to generate perfect magnetic fields, etc.

the laws of gravity and quantum theory allow universes to appear spontaneously from nothing

Really? I'm having as hard a time believing in that as many of you might have believing in creation.

Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the universe exists, why we exist.

Sounds like God to me.

I like it. Please keep on making it better.

Hope you don't mind constructive criticism. Here are some of my thoughts:

- Individual tweet pages are linking to themselves

- Your title is plural, your domain is not

- Make Tweets plain text with parsed URLs and have separate link to comment thread

- Need a confirmation box or some disclosure before ReTweets are actually done

- I would like to vote, but not ReTweet in some cases (possibly for 'bookmarking')

- Integrate ability to follow the publisher

It says comments will be posted to Twitter.

Is it just me or is the letter.ly subscription page really bland? Too minimalist? I think it needs color, a more detailed description, anything compelling that might make me consider subscribing before closing the page.

A real subscribe 'button' and proper capitalization could help as well.

Can't wait for cable to be dead and gone. 5-8 minute advertising blocks drive me bonkers. I have pretty much stopped watching.

Google TV looks amazing - http://newteevee.com/2010/08/20/an-in-depth-look-at-the-goog...

I think this will be a great leap forward for crowdsourced news, home-brewed entertainment and video blogging.

- Bio Tech - May be big, you can make money in this space.

- It's hard to start a software company. You are creating value when you write software. Good place to be.

- 'Efficient Markets' emerging as information flows around. (AirBNB)

- Side note: YC is applying mass production techniques to venture funding.

- Measurement - Google Ads are popular because returns can be measured. Inventing a new way to measure more stuff is a good idea.

- Thoughts on the U.S.: As long as you have peace and people can make money and be entrepreneurs - then society will be prosperous. If bandits, government, invaders steal the money from people who make it then society could collapse.

- Let the good times roll in Silicon Valley. California is still rich. you can start a co. anywhere but it helps to be here.

- Higher resolution world, stuff gets done. Networks of little organizations that make things happen are more efficient. As products have more and more of a technical component, it becomes less of a good idea to become a big company.

- Economic inequality

- Moore's Law working, but differently. Moving towards multi-core. There is a gap to be spanned in helping to build software on advanced systems.

- Want to deliver something? Think about what screen they are sitting in front of. (TV, iPad, Phone)

- Server based apps will continue to have a long run. Will become more complicated. Software and data will by default live on servers.

- Good customer service will be more important as it's easier for customers to switch. They can also research and find out if you have good service. Customers now involved in designing your product. You learn alot from talking to customers.

- Apparently frivolous stuff often turns out very useful. (Facebook, Math, Twitter) - Bummed he missed out on his Twitter name.

- Popular programming languages will emerge. Adopt the hottest languages. You should write server based apps in lots of languages. Don't look down on "scripting languages" which are more abstract/powerful.

- Open source is big.

- Linux will never be a factor on desktop. (Paul cowers) The world has done design for you. Linux will be on servers for sure. Buy Apple stock. hackers are a leading indicator of what ppl will be using in the future. (Audience was 40% - 50% Macs)

- Everybody wants iPhones. Good for browsing the web. Problem for hackers because Apple are jerks. Android can't compete with iPhone. Apple cares about the iPhone the way Google cares about search.

- Design is something to bet on. China has made manufacturing a commodity. Design is software winning over hardware.

- Real-time is not bogus in the way "Web 2.0" was. Something definite going on, it's the computing equivalent from the change in going from dial-up to cable internet. Protocols may go real-time.

- Google Wave is going to be important. (Whoops)

- Venture funding is not going to go away because VCs need you. They may not have the upper hand they've had in the past. Will give people money on better terms.

- Founders will more and more have the upper hand. Investors are learning it does not work to fire founders. Really matters who the founders are. Technical founders more and more important. Programmers can learn to do business.

- It's a lot easier for hackers to learn business than business men to hack.

What about liquid glass coating? First step.

"coating one millionth of a millimetre thick – 500 times thinner than a human hair – can be applied to virtually any surface to protect it against water, dirt, bacteria, heat and UV radiation."

I recommend GoDaddy with coupon code for cheapest option.

Name.com and NameCheap are great registrars. Their clean user interface, tools and customer service make it worth the little higher price point.

Do NOT register at Register.com, Network Solutions, 1&1 as you will get price gouged and have a generally poorer experience.

Looks like it's just a visual log of one persons' check-ins.

It's moving way too fast to be entertaining or interactive. If you slowed it down, people could zoom in for a much closer look and it would actually be a cool slideshow style display.

An aside: While in high-school, I was suspended for broadcasting a web cam from the classroom on to my personal blog. I only ever turned it on during class. The teacher thought I may have been spying on her.

With such a following does he not have a responsibility to curate news and resources? I did not see that within his boring stream.

I think he means there are way too many variables for such a claim to be taken seriously.

I suspect the crowd at HN would be one exception... a large crowd of self-employed individuals without degrees.

- average price of property was $2,675

- 54% of listings sold in last 3 months

- $40 million total sales

I would recommend hitting up as many bloggers as possible in those niches. Explain to them briefly how your app can be useful to them personally as well as their readers. Offer a free trial / demo.

Who really reads those app directories anyway?

OIO-Publisher is available as a WordPress plugin or stand-alone and is quite powerful. It has all of the features you've requested except stats for the advertiser.

I'm wondering why Social Gold and Facebook Credits are only focusing on gaming. Does virtual currency have no other legal use? Take on PayPal already.

Could this have anything to do with Posterous' risqué post claiming superiority over Tumblr?

Here's a legitimate way to make money from affiliate programs on Twitter. I make modest commissions each month via @ThemeHunter without promoting.

I don't know what other services you're referring to, but that was my first thought.

Commented on blog with some personal logo design tips.

I think the bigger problem here is that the rest of his site looks straight out of 1998. The half-decent logo may be the only thing lending it any credibility. :P

The site has a bunch of crappy articles on the subject and probably got them to rank in Google. Hardly ethical.

500+ users? I don't believe it coming from this guy.

Chrome developers needs to adopt something similar to Firefox's upcoming Tab Candy feature: http://www.dotsauce.com/2010/07/23/tab-candy-firefox/

The app tabs simply do not compare.

I love this. Finally, a use for my alarm clock.

Would be useful to know which profiles have Buzz enabled and further be able to search those profiles for specific keyword interests.

Point being to follow like-minded people on Buzz to gain exposure to your own profile.

Not quite. Sex.co is worth much more and someone has probably already paid more than $10,000 during a landrush auction to acquire it.

Here is some insider info on the .CO launch for those interested: http://www.dotsauce.com/2010/07/20/millions-virtual-real-est...

Over 200,000 domains have been registered as of today's launch.

I did not even notice the big yellow box until a few minutes later, sorry. Maybe you could add it below the list.

My skill-set is poorly represented here. The only things currently relevant to me are Marketing related.

What about... writing, front-end development, sales, networking, branding, research?

Have you tried prayer, friend? I'll get you started.
