I interviews Matt back in December 2008 for my media blog (which has been totally neglected due to family, work and my fishing blog which actually makes money). http://blog.metaprinter.com/2008/12/metafilter-founder-matt-...

In that interview he specifically states that he tried lots of different approaches for commenting / regulation / non regulation etc.

EDIT: The most community involvement I get is when i give something away. The The regulars and base community utilize the forums and self moderate, though i need to regularly post content for them to discuss.

Hmmmmm my local seamstress is one place i haven't asked for a quote. Go figure. Kickstarter looks interesting too. I'll let you know how it goes.

I had to leave the article to search where the actual building was located because all they gave was, "suburban New York". I'm still not sure where it is.

Now this is Hacker News. Made my day!

I would place securing yourname.com high on this short list (as well as using yourname everywhere possible via a tool like namechk.

hmm looks like i added the comment incorrectly. anyway I just wanted to share that while i learned a lot doing this, i wonder whether it still just makes sense to do things like this in flash as ie usage is around 70 to 98% for all the sites i track (usa and international).

Wow, lots of great ideas. Thanks!

I have kids and I've read The Road. It is moving.

If you must know, the commute involves going out of my way to pick up kids on the way home. If the gig goes Long Term I am definitely moving closer.

was really hoping this post was about http://www.myspace.com/zerozeronj/music/albums/a-m-gold-1316...

true zero is my fave

forget credit cards, my name has been misspelled on my driver's license since i can remember, spanning 2 states and 1 decade. I've never been asked about it. Not when i bought my house or started a business or opened credit... no one cares.

where are some good places to buy or commission such articles?

what's wrong with subdomains?

he thought it would make for good exposure...

1876 the telephone - people will never leave their home again 1877 the Phonograph - has eclipsed the telephone, people will never leave their home again.

nick always gives a great presentation.

what? if you are completely devoid of good ideas then use this: http://www.kleimo.com/random/name.cfm Better yet, Create a witty "startup name" generator, monetize it, and live the good life...

People don't go to the internet for local stuff like what's posted on that bulletin board because there is no good site for it. Because there is no good site for it, people don't look for that type of info on the net and the problem perpetuates itself.

Newspapers, for example, had online classifieds before Craigslist, but craigslist made it easy and cheap (or free). I don't understand why local newspapers don't have free online classifieds. It would drive up page views, give your community a sense that your paper is relevant, and allow visitors to the site exposure to your content further enhancing the experience and so on.

Something needs to be done by newspapers to add value to their customers lives. This could be it. Lets hope someone tries.

Speaking of which, what's up with popurls? Their traffic is down big the last two months.
