Facebook has a lot to offer and its design is showing to be top notch. I think based on numbers they are a 'mobile' company, but all this fluff and desire to sandbox them from the others just proves that they aren't competing, but just being thrifty.

Awesome, Would you ever go into detail why you did it ? I wrote a personal app over year ago called DashBored (I suspected this was gonna happen when the big CO's were all about API restrictions).

Thanks,

As much as I appreciate the opinion, I just don't think it is valid. Outliers shouldn't reflect everyone...
Yeah I met an owner of one of these and not a single problem was with it...As enthusiasts we read articles to know about what makes something great.

FWIW, NYT is the last place I would go for a good car review ;)

Re:Meeteor.com Has Shut Down - Post Mortem on Monday February 04, 2013 @12:18PM (#5165435)
I think branding an idea as '2.0' was your first mistake. Pretty much meeteor was ambitious to innovate a new feature to social networking, but since that ideology is more in my opinion a 'soft' science, I think funding would have been difficult to make it sustainable.
As much as this sounds like a good idea this seems premature. Not enough information on any of AI's products keeps me in question...

DOJ/USGov't could bring the system to a halt, but I see that it hasn't found a solid use case to do so.

Ideally, BTC could defend themselves and saying that it is a virtual product that the exchange is just coincidence, but holds no merit in the 'real world'

tl;dr le'sigh

Good idea, but unfortunately that product is really hard to establish because of the learning curve it introduces to everyone involved. I find it to be highly effective for beginning phases, but to transfer that information to another platform has been the determining factor for my version. :3
Re:Show HN: My first product. Thoughts? on Tuesday January 01, 2013 @10:48AM (#4992810)
I love the idea. My thoughts about the app. 1# where do you get the information for doing the grammar and pronunciation? 2# what is your end goal for producing this?

The only consideration I could say is to high a higher level view of the main application screen. Something that allows you to jump to levels/tutorials more effectively.
