We plan to jack some bandwidth from flickr and other photo sharing sites (legally). Amazon EC2 seems like a great option, but have issues with reliability and SQL.

hey, where's my company?

fox news ........no. news.com, reddit,digg,google news, AP, yahoo news, gigaom, techcrunch and last buy not least YC

Side note if you were to mount a camera on the hat/goggles and show the stream on VR goggles others could "share" the same experience.

I wish i was in "that" market because i would hire that guy in a heart beat.

Keep in mind the "magic" is in the software.

i've been driving for 5 years and i still love it. Somehow i find what you said unbelievable. Then again most pilots are alcoholics so there might be some truth to what you said.

Unlike the 2000 "bubble" The current bubble i would say is in private equity. the first time around there were more IPOs so the market took a big hit. If the current bubble; if indeed their is a bubble; bursts then it shouldn't affect the market as bad.

my 3.4 cents

Smart startup math. 1+1=2 . It is crucial when you first launch your company that you hire people who will train you rather than you training them

34th rules of business. Everything and Everyone is a product... no explanation needed :)

umm, i think to improve the service you want to increase the expropriation time of the e-mail address. so "why stop as 10 minutes! Whats about 15 minute e-mail? ;)

WoW, great read. There are people making millions on spam. Mostly because it works. Spam has a higher click-tru rate then adsense

The only problem is everyone is reading the same information, so by following those rules you just blend in even more. "There is no substitute for originality" --- By Me

The name of you compnay and the name of the domain do NOT have to be the same. It does help, however.

Pick a name that fits your company and then a suitable domain, if your compnay works then buy the exact domain,

ie. XYZ domain XYZLLC.com or XYandZ.com and so on.

Switch off? why the hell would you want to do that. I like being "turned" ON all the time. I love working when others are sleeping, gives me the feeling of "catching up".

You're the kinda person i would love to have working for me.

i would pay a billion and $1 for that shirt

Wonder who owns the patents to this kinda technology

I think most of you lack the vision to see how power a tool this really is. yes, there are a thousand ways this could fail. However if it does pan out like google plans, it will change the way we think about cell phones/mobile devices. The mobile device market is a huge untapped market that has yet to realize the true power of privately developed apps. If carriers adopt fully adopt android, the possibilities are endless.

best news i've herd all week.

it's takes 0 employees, they use outsourced robots.

You're already skewing your feedback by titling the post "is this idea stupid". It should be more like "what do you think of my idea?"...and yes, it's stupid....j/k

This guy is an ass. As with all platforms developers will have the last word. Developers will usually choose the most open and widely used platform ie google

There is a simple reddit fix. Rather then hosting crappy parties in different cities they should work on story filtering. So that users can filter ANY news title. there a simple work around for Ron Raul supporters, They can misspell r0n p@ul.

I will be there at the new york meet up. Even though i don't drink.

I'm sorry, but i don't see what you bring to the table. What are you doing that nobody else is or that can easy be replicated. How do you plan to get users? not putting you down, just asking.

This begs the question if all of these social networks share the same information why use one over the other?

The other burning bush.

I working on my own article. How Facebook could be worth 20 Trillion dollars.

a burning bush told me

This would have to be the worst place to share your idea. Amongst young,capable, and eager entrepreneurs. i would steal a good idea in a heart beat.
