Re:Ask HN: What do you guys use for wireframing?

Google Docs Drawing tool
Very simple and quick to throw up some ideas

Why millions of users? Few B2B startup have millions of users.
Likewise it doesn't necessarily need millions in revenue to be successful. Many exits have come from zero revenue.

Interesting thoughts there. The audio is what matters though, rather than the video, would be nice if you added them to the Think Vitamin podcast (if you're not planning on doing so already).

Very laggy/jumpy for me.
Plus that damn music keeps playing, even though after I closed the tab with it in!

good concept, agree the logos at the bottom cheapen the site. Perhaps have them in greyscale as well, most would recognise those logos without the colours

Google Docs Drawings is pretty good too for real simple wireframes. Easy to use and share, can see changes made to it by others.

Could take a look at TechHub and WhiteBearYard, I think they both do shared working space:

How will this impact sites like Rotten Tomatoes?
They have little original content, but are still a useful source.

I know the basics for mocking up a website.

Sorry but it's appalling.
I went to the site before reading what you explained the site does, and left it almost immediately.
It comes across as spammy and complete information overload.
Hire a designer, or get a friend at least, just to make some visuals for it. It'll be well worth the money. It needs serious work.
Re:Ask HN/Google: should Google link to hotel sites instead of aggrega...
on Sunday January 30, 2011 @11:08AM (#2158293)
Aggregators provide a lot of use.
Gives an instant overview of the hotels prices and ratings. It would take a long time to research just that basic information for say 10 hotels in an area.

Cheers for that. Hadn't seen that before.

Not easy on the Woopra site to find out plans or pricing.

Yes I think it's important. Nice to see the people behind a site, so it's not just a faceless organisation.

It's a good book to use as reference. Such as should I do x or y. Easy to read, and with well explained examples.
Great book to sit along with Web Analytics 2.0.

Same way I do it. Too much good stuff to distract from work otherwise.

Are people responding well to it in forums? Do you find users promote it among friends?

What kind of visitor numbers/member numbers are you getting? Do you know where people are finding the site?
Re:I launched 06-10 and constantly feel helpless and lost. What advice...
on Monday January 10, 2011 @09:00AM (#2088458)
Perhaps one that you can take notes/leave reviews on without being connected to the internet. These will then sync when next connected to wifi (like evernote does)
Data romaing charges abroad are massive, and your target audience are travellers.

Really smart site design. Looks really professional.
Perhaps remove any doubt about spamminess (a word?!) by putting a telephone number for people to ring. Might increase conversions slightly.
