Looks like Walmart is trying to become Amazon before Amazon can become Walmart

Ha! That's what they should do building social media apps for music

I think that the social aspect of it is actually what makes it fun here. Quality playlist is a hard thing to find and editors' picks are not always the most suitable ones

This is what playlists do, mate

Wrote a bit on it above ^^

Nine out of 10 workers perform better when listening to music, according to a study that found 88pc of participants produced their most accurate test results and 81pc completed their fastest work when music was playing.

I belong to the part that really performs better while listening to some music. It works best when I’m working from an open office space with lots of distractions and unwanted noise that prevents me from concentrating. So the only solution is music in my headphones.

Important question here is to how exactly do you listen to some music at work. I think that one of the best options here are online streaming services (8tracks, Focus@Will)

or recommendation and streaming apps like MuzApp https://muzapp.com/

Re:Ask HN: Is it cheap to use clipart for a 100k VC funded alpha? on Wednesday November 21, 2012 @01:23AM (#4813093)
Thanks for your time. We'll work on it.
Yep. Stock photos. Thank you, Yogo. I'd say generic. But hey, how much $ and time you'd spend to find some real heroes, bring them together and do a photoshoot? Time is money. Thanks a lot though. We're here for criticism, not praise.
Thanks, Michael. You're right on the spot with all the point you've made. Though some explanation is visible if you scroll we really need to work on it. And copywriting as well.

Agree on stock photos. Generic look is killing me too to be honest. That's why we're asking for some help from HN audience hoping to get some real life heroes on our main page.

P.S. $100k is just one of the first seed rounds - not a one time transaction, so you're right - that's not a great deal of money but we're working on it.

Thanks Andrew. Apart from everything, it's about time not money today. Clipart allowed us to get everything ready in no time. We could've spent some time on legal issues in case of using or ordering some 3rd party photos. Probably not much of it though but I believe the speed is worth it if you're in alpha.

Hi there!We’re building a social content recommendation service – LikeHack.com. And yep, we get email.A couple of those letters included some kind of complaints about the pictures of folks on our main page pointing out that “they are not a developer, designer or young mummy” and that “this is just pathetic to use clipart”.First of all, we’d love to ask you guys about whether or not it’s really...
