Ask HN: Why is a view satisfying?
I got my Linkedin settings configured in a way that others are able to see that I watched their profile. Somehow it satisfies me if the person I viewed, views my profile. But why is it satisfying?
THE EVOLUTION OF DELTA DIFFERENTIAL ALGORITHM
And its not just that, everything you use your passwords for these days, is stored on some sort of storage in a cloudy architecture. Scattered all over the world in thousands of datacenters. You probably are currently trusting thousands of people working over there, but you dont even know these guys. Terrible imho..
Our senior developer is always thinking about the business value when estimates are made vs quality. He even does not do alot of softwae development, but is always asked to help out other developers, system engineers and even management to give advice.
To be able to do that in a professional way, your vision plus skillset makes you a senior imo. Not just the years of experience and amount of skills you have.
As a dutch man, i can tell you just my experience as a software developer that here in the big cities are enough places to get jobs. Daily mails from recruiters sesrching for new candidates to be places at all sorts of companies. Living here matched about the avarage income to live in a small home with wife and kid.
Our reports department uses Qlikview, which accepts all sorts of data in any sort of format. Which is very easy to use after a few training sessions.
Do they chat about everything or is there a theme or geographical niche? > Dutch visitors, 99%. No theme, just a single chatbox, and another one for registered users. Mostly chatting about adult related stuff or searching for men/woman.
What kinds of ads are displaying through adsense? > anything, I took the advice that popped up in google adsense.
How long did it take you to get to 3k users? > took me a few years, but i spent just a few hours a week like half a year to get those monthly 3K.
Do you feel like it will be hard to get more? >Just figuring that out now.
Why did you throw up adsense at such low traffic? > Someone told me I could get $ for throwing adsense on my site and i was wondering how much that would be
The reason I'm not sharing the url is because the code is somewhat outdated and may be insecure. In my spare time I'm working on a new version which matches some of the recent security 'standards'. The website started as a project just for learning how to develop a basic website with interaction between users. So about seven years ago I tried becoming new instance of \Zuckerberg. I started chatting the website all over de chat-places. I added a twitter account, following (by hand :)) all those singles and lonely people out there hoping they follow back. Greeting them every day and helping other twitter addicts keeping their following list clean with new tools also presented within a backoffice on the same website.
My situation only allows me to work just a couple of hours a week on a side project. The reason I'm looking for some new ideas to monetize the project a bit more is because I want to buy a new house, like within a year or so. Just need a 100K in euros additionally to buy a nice place to give my son the full experience of life as much as possible in the way me and my wife dream about it. I can't just switch jobs, because the company I work for did alot for me. And I am a v ery loyal person when it comes to people/businesses helping me out with stuff.
Now, for the chat service, its more like a lonely-chat-service. About 100 visitors a day, saying "Hi, is there anyone around here?" or something like that. Then, the silence is killing them at which point they probably start clicking thos e ads :) So as I removed the usefull stuff from the website, people started clicking more on ads, to just get away.
When I read the feedback, I think I should just add some sort of feedback button or create a popup with a textarea in which they can add their dream they expected to get in by entering the website. And then start building them those dream s, for just a penny a day.
Ask HN: What to do with 3K visitors a month?
I created a chat site with an open chat. Very basic. Additionally I added a profile system. Also very basic. Now I have about 3K visitors a month, make about $30 dollar a month through adsense, but I dont have any clue on how to make it more profitable.

What Ever Happened to Tom Ogle?

But, it ofcourse depends on what your building, the info i miss in de main question asked.
I also tried to do it at the office where i work, but you can imagine that you will not be working on your own projects
Besides that, dogs, cats and child need attention all day long, so sitting at home does not work at 1 day a week.
Now i am planning to give all that up, and just add the day to my work-week.
A full time job, without sideprojects, sounds more comfortable than a mess of private-work-life. It keeps your head spinning all day, not reaching the goals you imagined.
I am not able to take all day working on my own projects, so this seems like the only option to play safe and clear my head.
