This new site owes a lot to Index Ventures. The whole thing seems heavily inspired by the beautiful Index site.

How did you find your marketing contractor? What were they doing?

The Solid framework, supported by Tim Berners-Lee, is looking for an app like this to be built to add to its list of Wishlist apps.

I love this. I can't stand in app purchases on kids games

Pipedrive helps. I sync it with calendar and contacts and integrate it with gmail. You get a great funnel to push leads through by default. I have a few zapper hooks set up for special things like new lead tracking direct from the website but you don't need that

Can someone please add Eugene to the end of the title?

I'm glad you wrote this comment. I was coming here to say my booze addled brain couldn't figure that bmj page out

I watched this last night. It was brilliant.

Seriously. Front page news. A few people exchange emails. Then a deal isn't done. pah.

GetPantheon is actually funded by the guys from Heroku and focusses on high performance Drupal (not strictly pure php)

Also you could have a look at happycoghosting.com Once again not exactly the same but in the same vein

This is cool. However the HN crowd seem to be just drawing deformed penis pics on it.

I do this. I don't have as many labels as you. i do have a follow up label. I think I'm an inbox hero!

Is this hacker news or hacker leaks? everybody run.....

Oh please know that product is important. Tech much less so. Launch launch launch.

Pure genius on the comment stream.

Isn't the StackOverflow UI basically the same as the iphone UI. I mean when you first interact with either of them they both just present a long list of things.

I just tried this with the fix and it seems better

I just posted a logo and I am a design talent vacuum!

I notice that the wikipedia links are fairly accurate. The foursquare ones are obviously less accurate as they allow any old guy to add a bar and there isn't obviously the same amount of fact checking going on in the foursquare arena.

I looked at that. I quickly realised that they would hate me. A developer asking for design feedback.

You could try to only have contentious opinions on topics that you are sure you are right about. On other topics take a listening role until you've heard differing opinions. You could of course offer an opinion you may have as a question:

What do you think of the opinion many people have..which is Do cats always land on their feet...even when they've been buttered e.t.c.

We chose mongodb after reading this page http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Geospatial+Indexing

Before then we were looking at Postgres for its geo stuff and things like cassandra also.

If you try it on your iphone or android it will automatically get the local data.

Check out this code for searching locally with mongo. It doesn't get simpler. Straight from geosay.com

class GeosayController < ApplicationController

  def api

    expires_in 1.minutes, :public => true

    results = Tweet.near(params[:lat].to_f,params[:lon].to_f)

    render :json => results
  end

end

....

class Tweet

  include MongoMapper::Document

  def self.near(lat, lon)

    self.all( :latlong  => {'$near'  => [lat, lon]}, :limit => 30) 

  end

end

Anytime! We think that foursquare is great but there is simply more scope for local information than just showing information about venues.

That would be cool. It would rock to have geosay stuff on the street view map

One thing we weren't sure of was whether to automatically populate the map when you arrive. So by default it will just try to locate you (on the desktop edition) then you need to actually search. Do you think it would be better to auto load your local data?

We try and get a real geo lookup from your browser basically using HTML 5 JS if your browser supports. If you have gears it will fall back to that, if I remember correctly that is!, then it will go to maxmind.com javascript service to try and find you.

I think it is super interesting because I doubt those buildings would end up on foursquare. We want this to become a place for local information that doesn't have to be bar or restaurant focussed.
