Re:Ask HN: please review my webapp: metracks.com on Monday June 08, 2009 @11:13PM (#648466)
I have actually been looking for a website that plays all my favorite radio stations, but did not find any stations for my country or some way to see if i can add them by url

the logo should be static, the colors can be better

i think a webradio site standard would be a huge thing

Re:How to block the DiggBar on Friday April 10, 2009 @01:47PM (#556433)
I want to bookmark those pages as their are, not as digg pages. I do not know but I think this is going to backfire on Digg in the long run.

I will pay for someone to market my skills on commission.

Re:New Yahoo CEO's Open Letter to Fans, Analysts, and Employees on Friday February 27, 2009 @10:26PM (#497943)
The advantage to her its that probably Yahoo was the worst driven company of the last decade, it was like having a Ferrari and drive it at 10 mph

They need to humble down and understand they are just a brokerage ad firm for the internet, billons of dollars worth do.

Re:Which startup’s collapse will end the Web 2.0 era? on Monday February 23, 2009 @10:02PM (#492575)
I think the model its pretty good, one of the most effective ways of advertising is the internet.

But I think Google will grow weaker everyday because of competition (But that can take more than 20 years).

IMHO the fact that Yahoo had missed so bad on web ads is one of the biggest failures in business history.

I like this Guy good will to always come up with win-win situations all the time with sincerity and open mind.

Just wonder why would be the reason for rule #2: He will not put his money on any business getting revenue from ads; I do not see Google going bankrupt.

I agree, a salary-level would be nice. It is just that sometimes it seems not a lot of people are making a living out of just ads.

Moral of the story: It is much easier to make money on subscriptions than by ads.
