Reflected on that for a minute and I'd say you are right.

Of course, but why waste time on something you "don't know" will work.

Why not optimize on time and go with something that will work ( that can make money ), and save those hours spent on the "cool free thing" for later (aka your own time). It's just one less problem in the future.

At least in my opinion. I mean viaweb had idea of how they (you) were going to make money right?

Call me stupid but I don't get the whole "People love my product, but I don't know how I will make money..."

HOW IS IT A BUSINESS IF YOU CANT MAKE MONEY?

I tend to take a more traditional approach to considering my idea's as businesses. If there is no cut & dry method of monetization I don't waste anymore time on it.

For the start up I work at, SEO brings in at least $450 a day, 30 days a month. I believe in SEO and think it works great when you are selling a product or service.

When you are giving a product or service away for free, I don't think the SEO juice is worth the SEO squeeze.

netfirms.com used to do registrations for 4.95 and I was an affiliate that got $2 commissions on domain reg so I would essentially get $2.95 domain reg.

I think being truly entrepreneurial would be having someone do it for you at little or no cost.

That is awesome. Thank you for sharing that!

Yeah, I wouldn't cause I'm pretty sure a catchy title would work to get it read, everyone that runs/writes for those blogs seem to respond fairly quickly.

If they don't respond it usually means that you putting out more noise than signal.

I personally enjoy gmails ui. I like linkedin's as well.

Publictivity looks pretty freaking sweet... can I get access?

Burger King...Taco Bell...KFC...Jerzees...Car Max...Cars.com...Office Depot...Home Depot...IBM(International Business Machines)...Circuit City...

There are a lot.

so my equation is (all variables range from 1 to 10, except for number of replied)

agreement/quality*insight-number of replies

if its above 2 then i upmod.... lol

They do! Idk if its free though, premium has it though.

They should totally have apprenticeships, it results in cheaper labor with more focus on your technologies in the long run. Take Zoho for example, they recruit kids who are still in high school to become programmers for them.

Your design is good, I like the colors and buttons.

The second page is a nightmare, too much content not enough call out/ organization, just calls to action.

Registration is painless, contrary to the feedback here.

The app is easy to use, but it's missing something. What I'm not sure...?

"You are not a unique snowflake"

I love the fight club tone...

Nope, not a founder, but you can say that I helped them out.

I would do more hardware based kind of stuff.

I would want to work on life/work/web integration. Like cross referencing gallons of gas in your car, with the number of gallons expected to burn on the way home, and anticipate the next time you will need a fill up, while checking your bank account balance, and having a web interface to do ALL of this.

Making things like a webcam you pin on to your kid that is also a gps tracker that will let you see what your kid see's at pre-school.

Stuff like that.

Note: I would have to learn a lot of stuff to make these things happen.

My girlfriends pops was telling me he wants a myspace for dead people.

Like a repository of videos left to certain people in the family, pictures, a comment section, and then have other little features like getting a text or email every year when its their birthday or the day they died.

Of course this would be all done by the person, while they are still living, in preparation or anticipation of their death.

Amen to that brother!

Cool, thank you.

Possibly a stupid question:

When you say Javascript, you don't mean server side Javascript do you?

Why not throw a div over the image or... disable right click, make a little harder to cheat... at least.

Python is my guess?

You kind of figure someone doing SEO spam would realize links with rel = nofollow are worth shit.

I meant Facebook (poaching employees from) -> Google.

I think that quality developers are not a dime a dozen and that is why bigger start-ups poach, i.e. Facebook -> Google.

If things get really bad I'll probably try to get over to London or somewhere with a stronger currency.

If things are just crappy, I'll stick it out, and dip into savings reserves if needed, while sticking with the current day job.

I'm not saying micro payments wont work, I'm simply saying when Google started there were not NEARLY as many internet users as today, so it's definitely A LOT easier to grow a user base/become profitable online now then it was before.

That's a faulty comparison, the playing field was TOTALLY different when Google started.

Hey no problem, I can give you their contact info...I am putting my contact info back in my profile now.

It was supposed to be released under MIT license.. from what they were saying.
