Re:iOS 6 Breaks the App Store on Wednesday September 19, 2012 @10:16PM (#4546637)
Google doesn't owe you anything, it's their service and we use their search engine for free. They'd scoff at every single lawsuit, if it ever got that far. It might be a bad product decision.

And organizing the app store based on app-store SEO is wise, opens up a new market and forces devs to reconsider their app design.

Heaven forbid they make the mobile/SMS UX the same as the web client.

If they buy Square, they'll be 30% of the way there with the infrastructure along with market penetration. Make the Square app a native app, and change it's name to iPay and you're golden. Also... no more dividends.

I'd like to add the Knicks gave serious consideration to cutting him from the roster hours before his first start because his 30-day contract was set to expire in a few days.

This is the IPO PR tour. Similar to Groupon's hype and retreat.

100% true. They'll unveil it soon enough. I bet it's Zuck's ace-in-the-hole.

Re:EBay acquires Hunch for $80m on Monday November 21, 2011 @01:04PM (#3262059)
There is a great play around the collection of data outside of just social space. Hunch has done a great job aggregating this data via a social means and displaying the data to the masses in an appealing way to drive more people towards their "recommendation" engine. I work for a site called Ranker and we're focused on a similar data play with much greater focus on SEO.

Ask HN: What % of equity is a technical co-founder worth?

Posted by pepdek on Friday March 25, 2011 @02:44PM
from the ask-hn dept.

At this point I own the idea(worth=$0) and 100% equity. And without a technical partner I have no beta product. He's open to the idea of equity in the company.I'm a business-minded, action-oriented guy. I feel I'm good at team building, marketing, selling, partnerships & strategy. The real business side of things.He knows the technical side. What is fair 15%? 45%?

These opportunities are great. Curious if there are any other communities like that out there. That site seems to be on a 6 month hiatus.
