5,101 | comment | domp | 2007-03-20T02:31:26 | null | Another thing that happens too with this cramming of industries is that all of the legitimate good ideas are blended in with the others.

5,102 | comment | staunch | 2007-03-20T02:42:47 | null | Well this is exactly the kind of thing that isn't very obvious. It sounds like once you're wealthy there's a new set of rules you have to live by. It's a shame everyone has had to re-learn these things for themselves because a few bad apples can control their jealousy.<p>Very good to hear it's somewhere in your essay queue though.

5,115 | comment | pg | 2007-03-20T04:38:19 | null | The VC model encourages/forces founders to go for huge exits. You can't do a series A round and then sell the company for 10 million. Probably not even 20. The VCs won't let you. So they're more likely to get the giant outcomes that make up for the losses on the rest of their portfolio. Whereas there's nothing to prevent the founders of a startup we fund selling early for comparatively little. <p>Also, VCs have leverage working for them. They get a percentage of the returns on other people's money. We're using only our own.<p>Smaller principal x lower returns = less profit. Probably. But we're hoping to make enough that we can at least keep doing this. | null | null | 5,041 | 5,031 | null | null | null | null |
5,116 | comment | staunch | 2007-03-20T04:43:09 | null | As much as I'm a fan of Open Source and support Firefox I don't think there's realistically any battle to be fought here.<p>Flash has nearly 100% install base across every single browser and can get users to upgrade extremely quickly with their nearly-automatic upgrade system.<p>Not to mention the horde of experienced Flash developers chomping at the bit to make offline versions of their apps.

5,117 | comment | tonystubblebine | 2007-03-20T04:43:27 | null | Following my access logs and obviously late to the discussion. Good early feedback, much appreciated. <p>I'm building CrowdVine because I want to see social networks treated as first class social media applications, joining blogs, wikis, and pod/video-casts. <p>In response to the nothing to do but read blogs comment, in a niche social network the people are the content. Connecting to them and finding ways to build an identity within the community are the main activities. If you're applying social networks in way that ties in with people's identity then you can have a lot of socializing without a lot of features. If you're (mis)applying a social network to a topic that has nothing to do with people's identity then you're going to have to build in a lot of other activities.<p>I think it's a big boon that Ning decided to focus just for the fact that it helps define the market. They obviously have an amazing team. It'll be interesting to see if they stay with the social-networks-for-everyone market given that they're already doing deals for bigger networks (for CBS), neither of their founders actually uses the software to run a social network, and that they're already 27 people big and 9 million in the hole.

5,119 | comment | notabel | 2007-03-20T04:59:50 | null | Firefox isn't going anywhere. Even if Apollo catches on like nothing since C, it wouldn't kill Firefox; the user still needs a browser.<p>Yes, FF supports rich application development in XUL, and yes, Apollo might compete with that somewhat, but it doesn't really matter. XUL is there not as a feature but as a tool: the FF UI is built with XUL. That it is useful for others is really just a detail. In FF3, there will be more emphasis and support given to XUL apps, but still, it's there for the browser.<p>Also, the degree of competitions between FF and Apollo is, I think, overestimated. Apollo is basically just another RAD toolkit. XUL apps aren't desktop apps, they run directly in the browser just like Ajax apps. That gives them an entirely different use case than Apollo. (E.g. if FF becomes widespread, XUL might compete with Ajax when building something like gmail. Apollo wouldn't--a desktop app built with web tech is still a desktop app.) | null | null | 5,116 | 5,106 | null | [

5,136 | comment | xinroman | 2007-03-20T06:35:02 | null | I've had this discussion several times with one of the early developers of del.icio.us. It is by far one of my favorite web tools, and I think one of the most useful things about it is the way that it encourages a sort of conversation between its users (ie, someone can send a bookmrak to me, which of itself, begins a sort of dialogue between us, or can write a description in the notes taht I know is intended for me). What I find disappointing sometimes is that when this happens there is no way for me respond to them directly about the link (you can send messages to another user, but then you lose a lot of the context). The most obvious answer would be to allow me to comment on other users' bookmarks or "send" them a message back about the bookmark they sent me. The explanation I keep getting when I say this is that they didn't want to distract users or muddy the purpose of the app by turning it into another blogging tool. Ultimately, I think they made the right choice not to add this feature. It keeps it clean and useful while still allowing for self expression within the core of the application. I would probably like Digg a lot more if I weren't so damned distracted by all of the threaded comments that follow each post, most of which are completely useless. | null | null | 1,249 | 495 | null | null | null | null |

5,141 | comment | brett | 2007-03-20T07:09:28 | null | In principle I agree with what he is saying: If you know what you are going to need you should put in effort up front so you can react faster later. The problem is with knowing what you are going to need. You hear that startups end up moving away from there initial ideas so often that bar for being sure that you "know" what you're going to need is very high. <p>I also think he overstates the difficulties of abstracting out extensible pieces as you go. His point about your # of customers being proportional to the difficulty of refactoring is well taken, but for an early startup this probably does not mean as much as he suggests. On the web you can do a great deal that is transparent to your customers. The risk of this approach might lie more in not having to discipline to take the time to refactor as you go as opposed to not having the technical ability. 37 Signals seems to have had certain project go very well for them by pushing down abstractions as they went (granting however, that everyone can't count on a gang of open source hackers coming in and both contributing to and evangelizing your product's infrastructure - though maybe this isn't a bad goal?). | null | null | 5,126 | 5,126 | null | null | null | null |

Or the ability to self-fund your own projects without having to settle?<p>I'm not saying being rich makes you happy or that it doesn't have its own set of problems -- just that it can provide the freedom of choice and financial security to allow you to worry about the truly big challenges in life.<p>Spending 75%+ of your waking hours working just to put food on the table is pretty boring, even cavemen had this much. | null | null | 5,149 | 4,960 | null | null | null | null |
5,163 | comment | joshwa | 2007-03-20T14:10:13 | null | I'm actually quite curious about how he's accomplishing this... my best guess is that he's using the demographic info to redirect each age group to a different URL, e.g. 18-25 goes to pof.com/a/, 26-45 goes to pof.com/b/, and 45+ goes to pof.com/c/.<p>I was hoping though, that if my users are talking about cars, they get car ads.

5,166 | comment | sethjohn | 2007-03-20T14:21:21 | null | Very interesting, turns the market upside down.<p>You could run it like a startup model combined with the recent doritos campaign (big cash prize for the winners). Throw around small (seed) money to anyone with a half decent idea...give out "A-round" funding to campaigns that focus-group well to expand their ideas...and entice everybody onwards with a big cash prize (acquisition!) for the campaigns that succeed.<p>You would need a very solid plan for determining "effectiveness" of the campaigns. Something that the advertisers trusted enough that they are willing to guarantee payment when you determine their campaign has been "successful".<p>Pretty simple site with a client side where advertisers can submit the broad outlines of what they're looking for, user side for submissions. Sit in the middle and skim off a little cash as the money flows past...<p>Very scalable. Advertisers are desperate for creative new approaches. Billions for the taking. | null | null | 5,158 | 5,157 | null | null | null | null |

Tried other Lingr chats and they work fine, so probably something Justin specific.<p>Error: times has no properties

5,178 | comment | Readmore | 2007-03-20T15:22:35 | null | I've read alot about 37Signals and quite a few people have said that it's a really bad idea to compete with them. I'm personally not afraid, but I wondered if anyone had any input on that subject. The things I've heard are that you never want to compete against a company that is smart, fast, and small and 37Signals would be that company. Anyone have any thoughts? | null | null | 5,175 | 5,175 | null | [

5,181 | comment | pixcavator | 2007-03-20T15:47:12 | null | Good post! I think having a grand design ahead of time is good, if its a good design. To me, this is about the scientific approach vs the engineering approach. You can get in trouble with either one. Option one: you have your grand design but nobody needs it. Option two: you keep iterating something but at some point improvement stops (try to cure cancer this way). | null | null | 5,126 | 5,126 | null | null | null | null |

5,183 | comment | eser | 2007-03-20T16:21:18 | null | Oops. I guess I've commited some UI faux-pas.<p>eser.org is a website where you type in the topic you want to chat about, and you chat about that topic with other people.<p>"topical chat"<p>I also wrote a search engine that will reccomend similar topics. So, if you typed python, it could have reccomended 'software design'. However, this only works when there are chat topics for the search engine to parse. However, there are none now because the site is only a few hours old. Major problem.<p>Second major problem is that people are asking for a list of active chat topics on the front page. A top-level-index of sorts. Something like reddit, I suppose. I wanted to avoid doing this because I felt it would clutter up the homepage. However, it sounds like it is the right thing to do.<p>So, job #1: add a list of active chat topics to the homepage.

5,185 | comment | seniortutor | 2007-03-20T16:32:40 | null | I am just about through with Johnson's "Why Everything Bad Is Good for You" and I would like to get in on a discussion of the book. I am a senior citizen and fascinated with the arguments he proposes, mainly because I can verify the truth in them from observing the interests and "smarts" of my grandchildren and great grandchilden. I plan to read the book a second time to absorb it better. Also, I plan to watch the "Sopranos" and see how his comments apply therein.

5,188 | comment | zach | 2007-03-20T16:44:50 | null | I think something is different about databases since then. You can, for free, install a database in part of an afternoon that has excellent library/framework support and tools. That makes a big difference. If you're going to use Ruby on Rails, for example, you will have to justify why you don't want to use database software.<p>Basically, databases have been well-commoditized, like Unix, HTTP servers, and hosting. If your needs fit their common usage scenarios, you should just go ahead and use them. | null | null | 4,948 | 4,861 | null | null | null | null |
