Reading the copy text and testimonials I'm not sure this is meant to be serious

Does this include traffic to the web interface?

So what are the criteria for getting a "good" reddit submission?

Anyone switched to the developer-channel version of Chrome yet?

Thanks a lot for your suggestions. You're most definitely right with the site being too locked up and I guess this is also the reason why the signup rate of visitors coming over the frontpage is rather low (in contrast to those who have been invited by other members). So I guess it would be better just to show on the frontpage what's going on inside?

Once they're in, users seem to feel quite well. The first thing they do is actually list their equipment and then see what other members use. They also come back quite regularly. I got the idea when I saw users on photo forums creating very elaborate badges showing their equipment in their signature. When you spend a lot of money for cameras and lenses, you're not only proud but you also like to know what others use and chat about it.

I don't think that you should reason too much from the font somebody uses. Plenty of successful websites started out with an amateurish look and for some of them it's still a trademark.

This does not necessarily imply innovation happens there.

Simplicity wins here! You can add all sorts of fun stuff later once you have a base of returning users (and you clearly don't lack creativity for that).

Very clean and intuitive Jonathan!

From the design perspective I would:

1) change to text color of the header (black on dark gray is not easy to read) 2) You have two search inputs - kick one and move the events section up. 3) To see event details you just have to click the row/div and not a link which is good - show it by highlighting on mouseover. 4) You have some gems for your target audience hidden in your footer - display them more prominently.

If only all investors were this candid and polite.

That's an interesting angle and I always thought, why is there a search.twitter.com and not just a little input at the top every page on twitter.com.

Especially for the lawyers ... would be interesting to know what's left.

allfacebooknews.com != alltwitternews.com

Uh-oh, that's not taken yet - domainpidgeon, where are you?

Here's the link to Jason Calacanis' article: http://www.alleyinsider.com/2008/8/jason-calacanis-on-how-to...

Great, just tried it - thanks a lot!

Not too long ago I thought web apps could never really compete with desktop apps in terms of usabilty. Meanwhile I clearly prefer Gmail over Outlook. Attaching files via drag&drop is the only thing I really miss. Great job, Gmail team!

I did an internship in Lagos, Nigeria and during this time a lot of folks from Ghana came to work there. They were the most friendly, open-minded and welcoming people I met during this time. Now that Nigeria is no longer a safe place to be, a lot of expats (mostly working for oil and construction companies) moved their families to Ghana . I doesn't matter from where they fly out to the oil rigs.

Comment from Garry "...possibly later today". Wow!

From the title I would guess this is rather targeted on drive-through managers.

You got his message too?

I can also recommend comodo, fast approval and great customer service!

It's for the users of the website who are potentially not familiar with ftp, not for me.

It really depends on your target demographic. Look at HN, where the most fascinating feature is it's simplicity and that's an ideal of beauty for hackers. But there's tons of people who would turn away because the layout is not shiny enough.

His approach verges on being arrogant and probably only works when you already have fanatic followers.

Everyone involved in community projects should read this (doesn't matter whether online or offline)

It's really amazing from the technical point of view, but I'm not sure if that's really a good thing to happen to photography. Photosynths are more like a rollercoaster ride in a fun park while a really good photo can be a piece of art.
