2,700 | comment | python_kiss | 2007-03-07T11:09:51 | null | While I don't use OpenID myself, there are a number of users on my social network asking for its integration. It seems that many users are now beginning to *expect* Web 2.0 startups to provide support for it (just as they did for Firefox). I anticipate that, in the future, when big name startups like Digg and LiveJournal begin supporting OpenID, there will be a huge following by other sites as well. Put simply, crowds follow crowds. | null | null | 2,697 | 2,693 | null | [

2,701 | comment | danielha | 2007-03-07T11:23:36 | null | I have read up on OpenID's specifications and what it aims to deliver. If it is labeled a bandwagon, I think it may be a good one to jump onto. There a few provisions one must be wary of regarding security, but for the most part I believe it is a move in a positive direction for managing web identities. | null | null | 2,700 | 2,693 | null | null | null | null |

2,704 | comment | sharpshoot | 2007-03-07T11:48:46 | null | First of all ideas change but people don't. Finding a cofounder is more a meeting of minds and interests - the ideas one has and are passionate about can be modified accordingly.<p>Every entrepreneur isn't short of ideas - but every entrepreneur in his/her social circle is a maverick of one sort or another. SO if the local concentration of mavericks isn't high it makes things difficult. Finding a cofounder is pretty hard and only something that can be done by finding someone you agree with - then trying out the relationship over a project.<p>I met my cofounder accidently - last year i had an idea and approached a couple of people cold and just tried doing a project. One of the guys i met i seemed to work with amazingly well. We sparked ideas, started creating other side projects, had complementary skills, believed in beautiful design and how simple ideas could really impact the world and above all we had the same positive attitude and stamina to make things happen (we both have great stamina and a get things done attitude). Our ideas have changed from the original one. A year later we've worked on so many things - but most importantly we can depend on eachother to make things happen. <p>Bottom line, cofounders pop up in unexpected places. Be open, talk to people you know, friends, their friends - see if anyone sparks. Its a hard road until then - but trial people out - get them involved in your project. Hidden mavericks do exist in local environments and passion is infectious.

2,706 | comment | python_kiss | 2007-03-07T12:41:06 | null | To be honest, I was surprised Google reached out to Friendster. Google struck a similar, but much larger, deal with MySpace, so I imagine that this won't go lightly with NewsCorp. Let's not forget that Google also owns two major MySpace competitors, YouTube and Orkut (see Orkut's astonishing growth: http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details?q=&url=orkut.com/). <p>Is Friendster even worth risking a major deal with MySpace? | null | null | 2,692 | 2,689 | null | [

I doubt that serving ads for yet another social network would be enough to drive NewsCorp away--and I even more seriously doubt that their contract with Google would allow it.<p>One point about Orkut: while its growth is phenomenal, most of that growth is in non-US markets, so it does not pose any direct threat to either Friendster or myspace. | null | null | 2,706 | 2,689 | null | null | null | null |

Jeff Taylor is an executor - he doesn't need the money, but its enough to show anyone else in the space who's boss (or the monster). Having money in the bank while funds are still frothy just means they won't struggle in the future. He probably got a valuation he can't match and they are probably looking at monetising their audience in "offline ways" which may up the burn rate a tad. That said i'd back jeff taylor too.

[1] I'm pulling that number from the ether, and the fact that there are 95 points visible; 25 people would have 125 available, and an excess of 30 seems reasonable.

2,747 | comment | notabel | 2007-03-07T19:48:44 | null | QUOTE: Considering that relying sites can filter which providers they allow authentication from, I am overall positive about an increased usage of OpenID.<p>I'm hoping that this sort of thinking will not proliferate, as it nullifies what I see as one of the big advantages of OpenID: user privacy. The core architecture of OpenID makes it possible for users or small groups of users to operate their own OpenID servers, avoiding the need to hand their personal information over to any third party to prove their (pseudonymous) identity. If it becomes standard practice to filter OpenID requests to only allow authentication from certain large providers, then OpenID becomes no better than any other single-sign-on system.<p>Moreover, there is no advantage to filtering authentication sources. An OpenID authentication is merely an assertion that the user is authorized to use a given universally unique identifier. The only way that the authentication source can cheat is by permitting auths that it should deny, or vice versa. Because users can choose the authentication source they use, there is no incentive for such cheating. In the case of a private person running their own OpenID server, the only attack would be for that person to attack their own account, nonsensically.<p>If you're unconvinced of the security of permitting anyone to serve, consider the analogy to Jabber servers: anyone can run their own, federating into the wider XMPP network, and the network maintains security because the misbehavior of one server only affects that server's users. | null | null | 2,697 | 2,693 | null | null | null | null |

2,762 | comment | danielha | 2007-03-07T22:15:06 | null | Absolutely. I was also thinking of setting something up as soon as we received word on admittance. I would love to meet the YC News community. Maybe even grab a drink afterward. Talk startup. :)

2,780 | comment | ed | 2007-03-08T00:02:58 | null | I think the concept sounds great and it is beautifully executed.<p>Books don't have the same broad appeal as videos but are definitely easier to classify, search, and analyze. There's a whole lot of semantic data to work with in a book so a site like Scribd should be much easier to monetize than youtube with context-sensitive advertising. Couple this product with some sort of publisher agreement a la youtube and you'll definitely have a winning investment.<p>Congrats on the cash infusion! Spend wisely!!

2,783 | comment | python_kiss | 2007-03-08T00:31:07 | null | It is true, search was not a business. Back then, most startups depended on DoubleClick banner ads for revenue generation (just as today most startups depend on Adsense). DoubleClick was not a viable business model and Google considered that to be their very last option.<p>Google was running thin on cash until they finally adopted Bill Gross' GoTo.com advertising model (aka Overture) in 2000. So for the first 2 years, Google was a cash cow with no business model around its search either. | null | null | 2,743 | 2,741 | null | null | null | null |

You just turn up and enjoy. The first one in London drew 120 people during the 2 hours, completely overunning the starbucks where it took place. I hope Palo Alto will be the same. | null | null | 2,778 | 2,757 | null | [
