The job boards on 37signals and stackoverflow are not in the list! I am not sure how these kind of boards can be left out? I agree with mahmud's comment. This could be for SEO.

Every time that an employee is shocked that s/he is being layed off, it is a failure of management. All of your employees MUST know where they stand in the organisation. And when the layoffs come, and eventually they will, where will you be on that list. But, this should also not be used as a trump card all the time. Otherwise good people will make sure they leave than work under this constant threat.

I think this essay by PG is appropriate here. http://www.paulgraham.com/love.html

Totally agree. As I understand it, this is in case of "real" emergencies as assessed by government bodies. The revenue is not going to come from ads being served along with the messages. It is going to come from the customization, implementation and support of the technology.

Alertia is a great idea! The biggest barrier in my opinion will be dealing with the governments of the 180+ countries than the technology!

This is the first response giving hard numbers. Thanks for the candor.

I agree with the author's point. An organization that dismisses telecommute as an option, is closing doors on a whole bunch of "10X" programmers. Which probably means that the current lot is not "10X".

I wouldn't want to work for a supervisor (and a team) that needs to "see" the team members everyday to make sure they are doing their job. The military Command and Control management style doesn't work on programmers.

One comment I do have is that author shold run spell check on the atricle and correct some of the grammer. But the point is well taken.

I agree with Scott. Money will complicate things. I think YCombinator and PG have better options for revenue than ads here.
