bond··on Fatdoor Founder Sues Benchmark Capital, Saying It Stole His Idea
From a poster there:

"Perhaps you did not read the facts, this is no ordinary case. The name 'nextdoor' is in the first Fatdoor patent application, which was private at the time of disclosure! Benchmark agreed in writing to confidentiality, not once, but twice. Clearly, something fishy going on here.

U.S. Patent Application number 2007/0218900 A1 titled “MAP BASED NEIGHBORHOOD SEARCH AND COMMUNITY CONTRIBUTION” (See Exhibit 4) on which the name “Nextdoor.com” is clearly associated as the domain name intended to be used by Fatdoor, Inc. (page 21, col. 1, paragraph [0236])"

bond··on Ask HN: have you ever marketed the same product under two different names?
I remember a story about a business man who imported one quality of socks from China. He then branded one product as a high quality(expensive) and the other as a low quality(cheap) product. Then he would sell both batches to supermarket chains across the country, making millions....

bond··on Google's Android Market is crippling small development teams
You guy should just give up, because google won't fix their customer service and won't fix your search rankings and probably in general won't do anything to help you.

I disagree, if it weren't for the complains of developers and users google wouldn't fix the search algorithm like it's doing right now. If we developers didn't complain about issues with the Developer Console things would have been much worse than it is now...

If something isn't right we have the obligation to speak and not just accept it like it's a done deal and we can't do anything about it...

bond··on Google's Android Market is crippling small development teams
Well it seems you're mixing things up. Having a change in policy has nothing to do with bugs on the way the market performs.

One thing is a shift in direction from Google and another is bugs that prevents developers and users from finding apps.

On a other post you talk about marketing as if would make any difference. There's a lot of developers complaining users couldn't find their apps after they were told to look for them on the market. How would a marketing campaign solve this problem?

It's Google's duty to provide developers and users with a reliable market experience.

bond··on Google's Android Market is crippling small development teams
Google changed their regular search algorithm to take down content farms

How is changing the algorithm so low quality apps are always first on the results taking down content farms? Sorry but you don't know what you're talking about....

bond··on Google's Android Market is crippling small development teams
Seems you don't develop for Android or you'll know google messed up the search algorithm and after a lot of complaints from developers and users who couldn't find apps, google started fixing things...
bond··on Google's Android Market is crippling small development teams
Google made significant changes to the search algorithm around July 1st. They have fixed most of the complaints from developers a day ago, still some things need to get fixed but it's near the level it was before. Check this thread: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?...
