Re:Ask HN: What are your thoughts on .co domains in 2013? on Thursday March 07, 2013 @08:23PM (#5341584)
True. My assumption is that .co may be a tough sell for some b2b models. Interesting in finding if that is true or not.

Agree with you on this point. Website content and inbound marketing efforts certainly outweigh any advantage one would get with a mere .co/.com name.

Depending on the kind of business and website visitors the TLD designation may not matter in some cases. Trying to see what others have experienced with different businesses; whether it be b2b or b2c.

Ask HN: What are your thoughts on .co domains in 2013?

from the ask-hn dept.

Is there _still_ an advantage in finding a somethingN-A-M-E.com or N-A-M-Esomething.com rather than a N-A-M-E.co? I know http://2013.go.co/about/ has been promoting .co domains and wanted to see what you think for a business facing or consumer facing startup?some old posts related to .co on...

Re:Ruby or Java. Why? on Thursday March 07, 2013 @09:36AM (#5337756)
Agree with other responses. You may compare Ruby (considering Ruby as your reference) with Python. There are good discussion on Ruby vs Python in HN. One of the threads is at http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=682101

Re:MailChimp Annual Report on Tuesday January 15, 2013 @07:18PM (#5064106)
warbyparker.com has a good take as well. I like the way mailchimp's report/page though. I sure hope that we would see more in the startup world.

looks like twitter's bootstrap fw with scrollspy in action here. not certain though.
Re:Show HN: A web app for creating interactive people plots and family... on Saturday February 18, 2012 @12:49AM (#3606040)
Congratulations on a great new product. One thing that I would like to see is have a small context map (plot area and the window that you are looking at) so that it helps the users while dragging the plot.

I see that the product is not timeline friendly unlike your timeline product.

The use cases are not as evident as your other timeline product.

Good luck.

Storyboarding for a mobile app development

Posted by akaak on Friday February 17, 2012 @11:40PM
from the self-post dept.

What kind of tools are available to create storyboards or mobile application flow that could be used with the wireframes? I am coming from the web app dev background and familiar with site maps (e.g.: slickmap). Is there such a thing? If so, how are people doing it in conjunction with tools such as axure.

Simply brilliant. I am sure this doodle going to bring some good bit of PR and non-google search users (if there are any) to the Google home. They are marketing/pr geniuses in using the tech. In hindsight, the doodle patent (http://mashable.com/2011/03/22/google-doodle-patent/) looks very useful

Thanks!
Re:Trust in T-Shirts on Tuesday June 07, 2011 @01:37PM (#2630091)
what does it take to get your T-Shirt. I have seen yours in the wild and really like them. Could you tell here what supplier you use?
Re:Is this a good name for a company? on Monday May 30, 2011 @11:30PM (#2601183)
If you are planning to model to support various properties what about Omvious (may be more memorable)? Om from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Om or from Omni. Domain seems to be available.

Mivious sounds simple, memorable and catchy. btw, i would have said it the same way: Meh-Vee-Us.

Re:Importance of Side Projects on Monday May 30, 2011 @02:35PM (#2600089)
having a dedicated time to work on the side project tasks is a good idea. Balance does matter and it is sometimes difficult to stop what you want to do on the side project. OP's point about not getting into analysis/paralysis is the reason that I work on the side projects just to get see if the damn thing works or not.
Re:Ask HN: Tumblr vs self-hosted blog? on Monday May 30, 2011 @01:56PM (#2599984)
If all you want to do is write a blog then definitely go the tumblr route (for that matter posterous does pretty well too). I have been a long time user of wordpress (hosted sites on my own as well as wordpress.com) and recently started using tumblr and posterous and like the simplicity of these blogging tools/services.
