andre··on Ask HN: How would you monetize icantfindmyphone.com?
everybody is going go close out the site ASAP after the phone rings, so any ads you post will be very ineffective.

Add this to terms of use.

andre··on Are "help files" useless, in light of Google?
I was helping somebody with a help file for a linux program and the first reaction was to just Google the name of the program and the issue and the solution that will come up will probably be more up to date and spot on since somebody else probably had the same problem.
