esonicaon How to Change the World: How to Hack Together a Twitter Client

and the actual article : http://blogs.openforum.com/2009/05/04/how-to-hack-together-a...

Can you provide some context for why you want this info? Is there a point to this poll?

Perhaps we could just have a questionnaire in the account profile that the hackers fill out if they choose. Then make HN could make this statistical info available...

Some examples from recent Polls/Ask HNs :

1. How you get to work?

2. Do you smoke?

3. Are you Male or Female?

4. Whats you highest Qualification/Education

5. How old are you?

6. How late do you stay up?

7. How many hours do you work each week?

8. Do you work full-time or part-time on your startup?

9. What's your IQ?

I like a good piss take, and this is one of those. We could argue about all the features he included/left out, but its a job well done :)

Looks like its done by an Apple fan : http://twitter.com/mantia

Not a bad designer / star trek fan : http://mantia.me/

Am sure some Microsoft retaliations are in the works already :)

esonicaon We're looking for a graphic designer to help us win the Techcrunch50

This line from your ad sends the wrong message I think.

"This is a startup company, and the development is funded out of the founders pockets - we don't have a cash budget for graphic design."

Having the funding for one part of the project, but asking someone to do the other as "pay you forward" says to me that you value developers more than designers...

esonicaon Getting Buzz: From 0 to (maybe) Forbes in under a week

Personally, I liked your article. It was informative and showed some of the interesting ways in which you use the medium to generate interest. Some of the methods are questionable, but you achieved your goal, and were kind enough to share it with us. A follow up post about the money generated from sales would be interesting.

esonicaon Why Twitter should fear the new Facebook

I find this logic flawed. The problem Peter has is that not 100% of his friends are on Twitter, so he is not getting the response rate he does from Facebook.

It does not matter if 95% of your Twitter followers are not real friends, as long as the 5% that are choose to engage, they will see your posts and be able to respond just like facebook.

There is more 'noise' on twitter, but only people choosing to listen to it, are affected by it.
