post a url please

What is your startup? Post a url..I'm interesting in checking out what you're working on.

Google is simply blowing me away right now. They seem to have their hands into everything. I'm so curious to know if this business strategy will work. Then Google+ comes along and takes what initially appeared to be separate ventures and combines them into one. Then I read about WebRTC and I can't help but get very excited....and it's open source! What am I going to read next? Headline, Google intern cures cancer over the weekend.

welcome!

How do I know this is google????? Anyone?

Site is still down.

I'd go for Toronto or Waterloo.

Makes no difference. This is still sexist.

I'm a .Net Developer, and I approve of this message. Windows 8 rocks!!

Who exactly designed a system which allows a single laptop to store this many records at once? I could see couple of dozen or so at a time, even a hundred, if a doctor wants to download all his patient records for the week. But 8 million on one laptop? I don't even know what to say.

I want to expand on my previous comment and tell you HOW I found it useful. My Rails learning typically falls into two categories. I'm either reading manuals/online tutorials OR I'm digging through GitHub to see how other people put things together. Both have been powerful. So, the reason I found scaffoldhub useful was not because I wanted to clone the scaffolds and use them, but simply as another way to identify specific functionality that interests me, and then browse through the associated code on GitHub. Hope that helps!

I just DID find it useful. Cheers!

What is the market telling you? The answer to this question always determines whether I quit, continue, or pivot. My market feedback can take on various forms. Sometimes I'll survey people in the relevant field, other times I throw together a quick demo and use this. Either way, you have to get the pulse on the market. Yes, sometimes "build it and they will come" does work, but most of the time it doesn't. Why not query the market and find out for sure.

Best of luck then. Give me a shout if you want some feedback in the future.

I'm just curious, why do you believe your idea will work for the market? I'm always interested in how people approach market research.

I love it. Even the font.

There is this show in Canada called Dragon's Den. I think it's called Shark Tank in the US. If you don't know what I'm talking about, basically you pitch you business idea to about half a dozen rich business people. If they like what they hear, they invest their own money into your business.

One of the most frequently cited reasons for not investing (even when the business seems quite promising) is that they either have no sales, or the company value being presented was too high.

I can't help think of this when I see $41M invested into a startup that has no users, no sales, and has not been proven yet in the market place. The Dragons would tear it apart.

What am I missing here? Does Color has SO much potential that it offsets the massive risk? Or is it that when we talk about the "internet", we are operating under a different set of rules?

But didn't they say that before?

Concept: Very interesting. Nothing more I can add that hasn't already been said by others.

Design: Very poor. Right now it looks unprofessional.

Looking forward to seeing where you go with this!

This is great! Good job!
