swapsmagic··on Ask HN: Online Code Review?
Thanks Kevin for the suggestion. I already did sent it there. But just want to know if there is a better place to get your code reviewed.
swapsmagic··on We're turning off Clickpass March 15. How to keep your HN account.

swapsmagic··on Show HN: My afternoon project - a pleasant viewer for the "who is hiring?" posts
Nice, even i thought of having something similar to make it easy to filter relevant job.
swapsmagic··on Hacker News Instant
Awesome. Love it. Suggestion as many has pointed to swap the Orange and White color. And one request, can you put HN link instead of direct article link as i want to view the discussion on that article too.
swapsmagic··on The State Of Railway e-Ticketing In India
It's the same experience most of the indian railway travelers have faced (including me) and so i have put my 2 cent by creating this website which helps travelers to track their ticket status on mobile/email. site: http://www.railpnrstatus.com

I think as a HN reader you should also think in those line and give ur 2 cents by improving the system.

swapsmagic··on Ask HN: Career Change to something without computers
My assumption is that you haven't consult any doctor yet for your problem. And if i am right, please go ahead and consult any good skin doctor and identify the root cause of your skin itching before thinking of switching the career.
swapsmagic··on Are you a Facebook employee?
Ok looks like if the url is referred from Hacker News, then they are displaying, {"is_fb_employee":"maybe soon? https://www.facebook.com/careers/department.php?dept=enginee...}

Even if you are logged out.

I am not an facebook employee so if i just paste the url in address bar and enter it, it shows: is_fb_employee: false with my UID.

If i logged out, it shows UID: 0 with is_fb_employee: false.

It's a nice idea to attract ppl from different site and based on the site domain, give them relevant career page url. (May be an intern project)

So for HN, it's engineering career page, if the referral site is relevant to some other domain (i.e. sales/marketing) then they will give http://www.facebook.com/careers/department.php?dept=sales.

Not sure how much data facebook have of other websites for categorizing majority of the websites in to different domain, but i feel Google can do much better with the same concept.

swapsmagic··on Indian Internet company valuations - Stop Blowing Our Bubbles
After reading the news, did google search of Indian retail market and online retail market valuation and found following articles:

Retail Market to grow by $900 billion by 2014: Source PwC http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/2011-02-03/news...

Online Retail Market worth 7000 crore INR ($203 million) http://www.commodityonline.com/news/Indias-online-retail-ind...

By looking at this market valuations, availability of good players (Flipkart, Infibeam...) in online retail market and Amazon is coming next year, what are you thoughts?

I fill the valuation is bit more but still fare and not that much high comparing how the company is doing and they have potential to grow. And also market has those many opportunities available.

you know Indians are hard workers :) [It's 12:50 am here right now]
swapsmagic··on Ask HN: Any Free Service to monitor if website is up/down?
I am using ServiceUptime's free service, but looks like wasitup.com is much better. ServiceUptime pings website for every 30 mins while wasitup pings every 5 mins and that's too free :). I have subscribed to both the service and will see how they are doing and carry on accordingly. Thanks for the immediate response.
swapsmagic··on ASK HN: Any Online Customised News Notification Service?
sounds interesting, but that's not what i want. I want news of my interested topic only from the sources (RSS feeds) which i have provided. And send me list of those news with brief details over email at customizable time (i.e. every day evening 6 PM)
