My votes go to:

-RescueTime (So freaking valuable!)

-Kirkland North (definitely going to grow their userbase quickly! (once they launch))

-Chatterous (Because I had a very similar idea)

-------------------------------------------------

My notes are to:

-insoshi (you have an indirect competitor, lovdbyless, it's a rails based opensource social network maker thing)

-deluux (my first interpretation of what you guys do was a single login for every site (like openID or w/e) but then my second interpretation was that I can show my facebook page or elements from it, on my own site? Like a widget(s)? That would be awesome!)

-joberator(i think we simply need more developers, not referrals, because, at least in S. Florida, finding a developer through craigslist, career builder or monster is NOT easy, and my CS major friends dont have any referrals, period and they are in their last year of college, so I have to wait for them to graduate which is not sufficient)

-wundrbar(dont know if this is possible, but if you could simply be an option in the dropdown that accompanies that search box in top right of FireFox and IE7, that would ROCK MY FREAKING WORLD!)

Hey give the one up there a try. It should get your state right, I've never had any problems with it, although my testing has been limited to 12 trials...

Yeah I was at work and I needed to dig into some old files to find it, here we go:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://j.maxmind.com/app/geoip.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript"> var country = geoip_country_name(); var state = geoip_region(); alert("State: "+state); </script>

Maxmind has a free javascript one to detect cities and states...the cities are a little off but the state is always dead on.

I can provide it later if you'd like?

Late because I posted it after ashu posted his news.yc interface for the iphone.

Awesome video by Joe Hewitt on the iUI library. Thanks to

http://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=ashu

for mentioning iUI.

yeah... i was simply voicing my opinion. i understand the premises for acceptance into YC. I wish the best for chatterous!

WTF? I submitted that same idea (extremely similar) to YC as my secondary idea!

doesnt work...hwork

Don't want to associate financial info disclosed here with the company I work for.

I was kind of just hoping for the person to shoot over an email address.

No, simply because it's seasonal.

Peak, and level off.

I'm 21! Retirement!?

Points taken. Very much appreciated.

I say growth will peak in 6-9 months.

Thanks for that one!

trying to keep company names off the net as well as my name... so do ycnewsid456[at]mailinator(dot)com

Holy crap is it easy to sink time with those animations/videos. I want to use it!

There is also the case of being forced to do things incorrectly...

And bosses that make the job uncomfortable or have a negative attitude

Lastly, you may love programming but maybe programming the stuff you think up or like, not someone else's vision or tool or w/e.

I can vote for more than 1 choice? I would vote for Obama and Hilary if I could.

At FOWA the panel for create a web app in 45 minutes really revolved around email analytics and status

SugarCRM is cheap, but I am not too fond of it...

Old Business 2 article. RIP Business 2.0, RIP.

Does it matter what library they use? Are you guys particular to mootools or jquery or scriptaculous?

umm here is the reference:

I read somewhere TechCrunch generates $214,000 per month from advertising.

Zoho is well-positioned, with a great strategy, but I believe their flaw is they build products that are good, not great.

I think a major factor for you guys, which davidw referenced as a motivational engine, is rapid development cycles, if you release SOMETHING quickly you are not discouraged so easily.

4-6 weeks is generally my max. time for spitting something out, otherwise I get bored and slowly stray away and eventually leave the project/app alone. Like if it's 12, 16, 24, or 3 months etc. to get something out, by that time my attention has been moved elsewhere.

My answers to your questions should definitely not to be considered as advice(except for 2 and 3), but:

1. I make them the way I want, or very close too it. Or I leave.

2. After I get feedback from people other than the ones involved in the development of the product, or after you release for use and there is no/a negative response from your users.

3. Once again, after you release and it doesn't work, try to fix it. Ask your users what they want, can you give it to them? No? Call it quits. Yes? Keep on going!

Well, technically if you want to use that model, then if each user spends $25 a month on products/services they find on facebook, then after a year(collectively) each user will have at least spent, $15 billion, which I think is worth...well... $15 billion.

Registered, when putting in contact info you should go ajax with it, cause I put in all my data first and then anticipated that it would still be there if I clicked "Add [formofcontact]".

Other than that, it's a cool concept ( i had a similar idea ) and it's very well executed/designed.
