6,602 | comment | Elfan | 2007-03-27T13:32:16 | null | Yes. I didn't want to just dismiss these guys, it looks like they are new, going through some growing pains, and trying something interesting. However, the mix of Y Combinator hacker talk with bright flashy graphics is just disconcerting. That quote was the most over the top part of the site.<p>I look forward to seeing in the future to see if they can evolve into a niche besides YC or decide to directly compete. | null | null | 6,550 | 6,505 | null | [

6,615 | comment | extantproject | 2007-03-27T14:14:45 | null | It's cool that Justin.tv got some news coverage. It's also funny how lame traditional news coverage is. Do they always have to talk in that "newscaster voice?" How do people stand to watch traditional news coverage?<p>Their chuckles at the end about how Justin.tv is Justin's "job" made <i>me</i> laugh. They seemed kind of small-minded about the potential of what Justin.tv is doing. People might be missing the point of Justin.tv: it's an inexpensive platform for live video broadcast... which is pretty cool! | null | null | 6,561 | 6,561 | null | null | null | null |
6,616 | comment | zaidf | 2007-03-27T14:19:30 | null | There was this traditional VC firm that started something modled after YCombinator. But even then, they required a business plan and fund minimum 250,000 so they must be targeting another audience than YCombinator. They were featured in Wall St Journal along with quotes from Paul Graham too if I remember right.<p>I came across Brad's blog while reading a post where he stresses good UI. Since then I have found to enjoy his insights though at the moment I would say Brad's askthevc.com is a more useful read than feld.com | null | null | 6,603 | 6,505 | null | null | null | null |
6,617 | comment | ukong | 2007-03-27T14:39:31 | null | I would say not enforcing the so-called self righteousness is at least a faster way to market a startup, if not making it more successful. It's the ruthlessness of youtube, not soft porn, made its way through.<p>I am not sure about the very first motivation of all business around me. However, apart from possibly ruthless objectives those business are trying to achieve, what is really important is that how iterations of those business ideas can fulfill the (other) needs of everybody else (like me). | null | null | 6,385 | 6,352 | null | null | null | null |

6,633 | comment | stephenrb | 2007-03-27T16:02:56 | null | My guess is that we're about to see more YC "copycats" popping up. YC is turning down hundreds of applicants each round, Techstars has at least a couple of hundred applicants for their first round, and those numbers are only going to grow as word spreads about these types of opportunities. Entrepreneurial minds aren't only coming from Boston and the Bay area (and other startup hubs), and they're looking for new opportunities. So, there seems to be a growing market for businesses wanting to help start startups. I think this is pretty exciting. | null | null | 6,588 | 6,505 | null | null | null | null |

6,678 | comment | immad | 2007-03-27T20:09:57 | null | Always amusing how Markus looks at everything in terms of dating.

6,680 | comment | far33d | 2007-03-27T20:15:59 | null | It's not hard to imagine facebook as the:<p>#1 social network
#1 dating site
#1 photo sharing site
#1 news aggregator
#1 job search site
#1 classified ad site
#1 blog site<p>With that much (voluntarily provided) user data, there are a lot of markets they could dominate. If you could figure out what each of those people was buying, you'd be pretty close to the holy grail of market research.

6,688 | comment | zaidf | 2007-03-27T20:54:33 | null | Saying that people will stop caring about viral marketing is suggesting creativity is finite.<p>What has happened due to the YouTube revolution is that it is harder to be funny now. Notice it's just HARDER - not impossible. So while in the past year or two folks might have gotten around producing average stuff that became viral, the same level of creativity won't be viral in the future. I think that is the real point the article is trying to make. | null | null | 6,658 | 6,658 | null | [

6,693 | comment | sri | 2007-03-27T21:21:51 | null | great article paul. i especially love number 7: produce something specific for yourself. this forces you to notice problems and noticing your own problems and overcoming them with technology is a subset of noticing problems of others and using technology to help them, which is the job of startups and companies... so IMHO, noticing and solving your own problems is a fundamental skill people in startups need to have.<p>
that technique works because most of us have been conditioned to ignore the problems that we encounter daily. when faced with a problem we simply side step, avoid the problem and keep marching. the entrepreneurs are the ones who stop, notice the problem (or opportunity) and help us get things done easier.<p>

6,698 | comment | bootload | 2007-03-27T21:37:41 | null | part of the problem is we really don't know yet. The lack of information is the problem. My point was not to pre-judge the <i>named persons</i> but to think how developers write software system deals with these situations.<p>For example flickr. At the bottom of each page you have a flickr abuse flag. Flickr has extensive reporting and if enough of these flags get tripped they investigate. This example seems to be an external blog which I doubt would have these measures. | null | null | 6,695 | 6,689 | null | null | null | null |
