guys (of airbnb) .... notice how anyone who writes about you uses AirBnB, rather than airbnb? I've mentioned before, no one understands airbnb. Its illegible / unreadable, and has no meaning.

Time to grow up and have a corp. identity?

I'm in this boat. Need to quit taking a paycheck and go it alone, but it's hard.
Interesting game, I went to download it, but have to rant about app store shit.

I hate all the LITE and VERSIONED games. Fucking BS for the customer. So I veto. Sorry man, don't charge for version 2, version 3... so lame.

I'd just say be very careful. Use them to your advantage, but don't expect a dime. So def. don't overwhelm the user. Just fill a little space if you must.

I fucking hate short urls.... stupidly - unnecessary imposition of 140 characters has caused the removal of any context .

a brief description on hn about what your "web app" is would be nice. I could care less about this one.
I like this opposed to my typical startup work that gets trashed in record time.
Be Happy
Re:Ask HN:applications you would love to see in cell phones on Wednesday May 20, 2009 @05:07PM (#619322)
funny I actually saw a mock app on Tv (Bones). Hate or Date I think it was called and did just that. Very cool idea.

Another TV inspired phone app (Fringe) could listen to a phone dialing numbers and turn around and call the number for you, based on the tones of the numbers in the phone number. Cool.

The feed does link to the comments. Please don't be like digg/slashdot here.... its nice to get to the meat without the extra click thru.
the buttons do an annoying wiggle on hover (css issue webkit)
omg Blackboard should die

Lets put it this way. The 20% lead, the 80% is a "no-brainer"
What'd you learn in school? no, seriously.
my first impression too was WTF? the entire first page tells you almost nothing. Seeing that there were 5+ pages, no thanks....
Re:Faking votes on Hacker News on Tuesday March 17, 2009 @05:57PM (#520697)
I think using the excuse of "trust" for having security holes is not justified.
I'd agree with some sort of account signup requirements. Maybe invites from current members etc... but doing the Erlang homepage is just weak sauce. I would think that even the "1337 hackers" on this site don't need 5,000 more erlang links they could find using google or delicious. Sites like this are only interesting when they are broad enough to introduce us to new things, not barrage us with details about someones fav language.
