Why did you follow that person?

MySpace is planning a major rebranding / relaunch soon.

It's Facebook connect and works for me.

Really hard time envisioning this taking off.

Needs rewards, benefits, resources... something, anything besides people telling me what I should and should not do.

15 romantics (votes) or did you all just want Cliffs Notes on "The Game"?

These terms are ranked by # of results, not search frequency! Nothing can be gleamed except the total popularity of the individual words and phrases as they are published on the web.

http://www.google.com/search?q=how+can+i+be+on+made About 25,280,000,000 results

http://www.google.com/search?q=how+can+i+make+a+site About 2,210,000,000 results

Both match up with the suggest data.

The words at the top of the list are generic: (will, free, help, made, etc.)

As you go down the list, the words become less generic: (dream, market, people, speed, password, etc.)

You would be better off looking at Google AdWords data or http://google.com/trends

Brilliant tactic encouraging members to set their own donation amount. I imagine Reddit will receive significantly more donations and overall totals than had they set donation structure.

iPad is a trademarked term and you are running the risk of legal issues with Apple. You may want to think of an alternative domain name.

How did a non-programmer land private YC funding? I'm curious because I was under the impression that YC is very hacker oriented. Or is it the idea that counts?

They are running a great campaign, the best one to date in fact. Even so, I feel that .CO is a quality extension in the same field as .TV and .ME which are doing fairly well.

Twitter was given T.CO at no cost as part of the .Co Founders Program. For more info and details on CoInternet the T.CO shortener and the E.CO live auction, I have covered the story here:

I want to retain credit for the idea. Will a detailed blog post act as copyright of the idea?

Yes, ICANN has fixed domain tasting. No refunds for registration fees.

Typo-squatting is of course unethical. I would not say that the practice is rampant. A recent report by Verisign showed that it is declining and really is not prevalent. It's also not very profitable. PPC revenue has hit rock bottom in recent years. Talk about risk.

There is risk it seems because there is a high learning curve for what a quality domain name is. If you watch the industry, research keywords and learn to evaluate domain names you can do very well.

Moniker is the most reliable, speedy and trustworthy bulk domain lookup in my experience. It requires username registration. https://www.moniker.com/domains/batch_reg.jsp

For those interested in the benefits of Tynt Insight for publishers, please read this article:

http://www.dotsauce.com/2010/03/09/website-data-social-shari...

"Email is used for 70% of all social sharing and accounts for 48% of new site traffic."

For comparison, Facebook only accounts for 25%.

I'm guessing Gruber didn't get a chance to review this report from Tynt.

Phenomenal. I was skeptical about the software lagging, but the video mentions and proves it is low latency.

I can't wait until desks and peripherals are adapted further for people to stand up while working at a PC. Tired of sittin' on my ass! ;)

Sorry to hear that. My niche, domain name investing, is quite small. However, there are a large number of companies looking to advertise in the space. My banner space and all of my fellow domain name bloggers inventory is constantly sold out at above average rates.

Real work, yes... as I said, it takes years to become an authority and hours of work daily.

What is the practical purpose? Looks ridiculous to me.

Agreed, but the learning curve for blogging is shrinking rapidly. Anyone passionate about a certain subject willing to put in the hours can make it.

We shouldn't teach to expect to make money soon. AdSense probably should not have been mentioned in this article as it's just nickles and dimes for beginning bloggers.

Over the course of a year to three years a blogger should be able to command direct ad sales for significant revenue depending upon their niche.

This was very funny. Great read, thank you. Tweeted @DotSauce

I've noticed alot of bloggers and app developers are making these mistakes.

There are programs than can write programs. I don't want to compete with a computer that's smarter than me. Haha. I'll stick with my "right brain" work and hack some open source software when I need it.

Please forgive me, I'm currently reading "A Whole New Mind" http://www.danpink.com/whole-new-mind

The author foretells that programming is becoming less important due to abundance, automation and outsourcing to Asia. India alone produces 350,000 Engineering graduates each year.

Idea 1) Option to collapse tweets containing replies, mentions or retweets when viewing an individuals profile.

I think this would be great for quickly seeing what a profile is really all about. Remove the extraneous content and get down to the individual.

Idea 2) Enable filtering, browsing and sorting of public timelines by source client.

Would be good for spam control and discovery. For example, one could quickly pick out which profiles are posting junk from twitterfeed or browse tweets from a specific source website of interest.

I'm guessing these WordPress installs were not updated?

Is it confirmed GoDaddy issue or all dated WordPress installs?

Another option is to use http://SlinkSet.com a hosted version by Posterous.

I'm almost hesitant to recommend it though, because the service is terrible and they have not updated in months.

Single white nerd seeking passionate programmer for long term relationship.

Hah! All kidding aside; nice, timely read. Affirmed a lot of my thoughts.

http://BrainTrust.io has all features you've mentioned.

Read this response somewhere. Included in The Ultimate Guide I believe.

Check out this wildly entertaining speech by Adams published last month: http://www.ted.com/talks/douglas_adams_parrots_the_universe_...

Here's a thought. Friendster failed in part because he got the name wrong. And his new business, Socializr - much worse.

Thanks for sharing, I wasn't aware of his story.

If you use WordPress I have written an article detailing some common SEO mistakes and how to fix them:

1. Bloated title tag and abandoned post titles

2. Lack of relevant keywords and phrases

3. Disregarding the NoFollow link attribute

4. No Sitemap or ping notification to search engines

5. Not adding images in posts

6. Improper anchor text for internal links

For my suggestions and solutions to these basic SEO issues, continue reading...

Do not listen to the black hat advice! Organic SEO pays off much more in the long run.

My apologies. It was not my intention to make a sales pitch.

If I may respectfully say that the domain name is terrible. There must be a nice .COM brand name for such a concept?

I was curious about the Hacker News backend, interesting to see it is open source. I really like the http://slinkset.com hosted service which is essentially the same functionality.
