check out localbacon - aka jibe.com - they seem to be doing the same thing as you want to do with emp.ly

i think they completely revamped their initial model and just publicly relaunched today.

mockups is not a disruptive app / service. Even if inspired by Peldi's posts, if another product can take the game up a notch, it should benefit both the founder as well as the cusotmers.
I'm not really sure why others are so paranoid about logging in via FB Connect. Honestly, going forward, I think FB connect / Twitter etc. are going to emerge as the primary means for logging in -

I have no doubt that Goog will continue to operate in China. At the end of the day, there's way too much money on the table to do something as drastic as that.

Ask HN: Question about startup salary

I've been offered a position in a bay area startup (10th employee) and since this will be my first opportunity working for a startup, I'm looking for some advice. The equity package is reasonable, but I'm not so sure about the salary. They're offering about 75K - I have abt 4 years of s/w experience, albeit in a different technology. Is this a reasonable offer ?
