I agree with that, I still use traditional email which supports a far more professional communication. As for socializing all my close friends can call me. I found that I had far to many people on facebook who I hadn't ever had a valuable conversation with. In my opinion facebook doesn't have the balance right, email is to personal, facebook is in my opinion trying to push the "more friends are better" on us to hard.
Internet helps save power.
A hole in Facebooks armor.
Lamebook links are now banned from Facebook, however as I notified lamebook earlier FB doesn't block their IP so a simple http://76.74.223.44 will work. I've got to say, Facebook needs to step down from the turret and stop gunning down innocent startups.

Thanks for the actual cover shot, I got my copy in the mail this morning while running out the door to go write a midterm. I noticed PG on the cover and spent half the day wondering if anything new was in the article.

Very true, Forbes often overlooks the women behind innovation. They tried to make up for it with the 100 most influential women issue last month, I would much rather see them include a few more articles each month on the subject.

Thanks, I thought so as well. I've just been busy working on getting the site up and haven't gotten around to changing the graphics from the original concept graphics.

Thanks for the feedback, the PHP is custom as for the contrast I'll work on that and I'm in the middle of trying to work out the visuals. I like the guys vs. girls aspect, maybe I'll work on that for a v2
1k page views in the first 12 hours.
I just finished building(http://www.theratemydate.com) and am amazed to find that people are already posting stories, over night the site has hit almost 1k page views and is still going up. It's not fully functional yet, however it's a start. I would appreciate any feedback on the site or even the principle behind the site.I guess this is RateMyDate asking for a RMSThanks, GDH

Re:"Rate My Startup" Post Policy

I'm new to HN and I wouldn't post my startup link, as I've yet to contribute enough to the community to earn the time other members would need to review my startup. That being said, I do believe that a karma threshold for RMS posts would be a valuable asset to HN.

One thing you will learn is that it's drive that pays off. If you feel like quiting in the bad times during startup you're going to have a hard time when your company runs into hard times in the future once you've invested more into it. Look at the guys form airbnb, they lived of cereal and were broke but they never lost hope. Like bradly said find some like minded roommates. Also congrats on having investors contact you, thats a good sign. Keep it up.
Re:Ask HN: Is Apple repeating the same mistakes it made 25 years ago?

With the ease of learning due to the unlimited resources we have these days more and more people are labeling themselves "techies" and running Linux. I think Linux will gain some ground as more people run it with the notion that it will make them a better programmer, when the reality is that they will still work a day job at Futureshop for the next 10 years (that is if large tech stores exist in 10 years).

In the latest issue of Forbes Bill Gates said that he believes the toilet industry could be the next big boom, right now all of NA uses an old system with many design flaws.
That's all.
