If I was interested in tagging people, why wouldn't I just post it to Facebook?

The response I wanted to click is, "Yes, if you reported it anonymously." What I did choose is "Yes, almost certainly."

This wasn't the title I submitted this with. Does anyone know how it was changed?
(My original title was something about discovering a blue collar version of the Kahn Academy.)

Re:How would you turn a free classifieds website into a business?
on Monday February 14, 2011 @01:03PM (#2217778)
This is a bit outside of the present scope of the site, but how about offering pre-printed yard sales sign for sale online? Possibly you could partner with a site that already provides this and you would make revenue on a referral basis.

Looks good but the font is a little too big for me liking. I want to see more on a page at a time.
However, great job getting it up and running!

Not quite complete, nowhere does the description say the team is "passionate" about technology and/or design.

I would probably pay. My dream solution would back up my pictures and the let me share the ones I wanted to share. (Not a photo hobbyist, just like to take lots of pictures.)

Re:What we have learnt running a bootstrapped startup
on Wednesday February 02, 2011 @11:16AM (#2170750)
Thanks. Okay, maybe I just slightly disagree with them. I mostly agree with the "create value, money will come" philosophy. However I would say create value and if the value is very substantial, the money will come. However depending on how substantial the value is, you may have to work to make the money come along.
I am not saying they are wrong, I would just put a little more confidence behind Guy's statement.

"As corny as it may sound, we were particularly impressed with Guy Kawasaki’s ‘Create value and money will follow’ advice when we started up...Had we known then that he was going to create AllTop in future, we would have probably introspected a little more before buying his line of advice."
I don't understand this statement, specifically the reference to AllTop. Can someone offer me some insight?

Re:Ask HN: Does anyone know of a good android app tutorial?
on Wednesday January 26, 2011 @01:31PM (#2144348)
No problem, now that I am on lunch, I looked up a few others.
Here is the Google guide I was talking about: http://developer.android.com/ here are some tutorials from there: http://developer.android.com/resources/index.html They call these tutorials but you are really just copying and pasting but I bet you could reverse engineer simple apps from this starting point. http://developer.android.com/guide/tutorials/views/index.htm...
Here are a couple tutorials, I have not reviewed them much so it is up to you to decide if they are any good: http://www.activefrequency.com/blog/2009/ground-up-android-g...
http://www.vogella.de/articles/Android/article.html
These guys talk about their experience in app development. http://www.kreci.net/ http://www.bryandenny.com/index.php/2010/05/25/what-i-learne...
Of course there is the App Inventor but when I did their tutorials I felt a little more like I was building a pre-fab kit rather than learning how to create: http://appinventor.googlelabs.com/about/
Re:Ask HN: Does anyone know of a good android app tutorial?
on Wednesday January 26, 2011 @10:40AM (#2143582)
I have have sort of made my own path.
I watched this video which is not exactly a tutorial but gave me some good comprehensive knowledge, there is a part 2 as well. http://marakana.com/forums/android/general/230.html
Next I have been going through Hello, Android (Introducing Google’s Mobile Development Platform, 3rd Edition, by Ed Burnette) and will probably be doing the Apress Beginning Android book next.
Also check out http://www.reddit.com/r/android. Look on the sidebar as there are other subreddits of interest to you, especially http://www.reddit.com/r/androiddev.
Finally there is a tutorial in the Google documentation.
Best of luck!

Sounds like the problem is sprawl and the fact that most of the houses near you are McMansions is besides the point. All houses in a climate that nears 100F are going to want AC.

Your (dbingham) argument is full of subjective arguments. Very judgmental.
