How? You don't have an email, website or any other conact data in your profile.
Good points all around. I've found developers at newspaper orgs often have better solutions to the problems in the industry then the 'media veterans' themselves.
Which paper do you work for? Would love to get in touch (alex at newscred dot com).
Possibly the most pointkrds article I've read on HN. Why is this at the top?

There are APIs like Daylife, NYTimes, Guardian, even Zemanta.What would your idea API for the news look like? What's missing in the existing solutions?Images? Video? More customization? More analytics and number crunching abilities?

I know searchYC is great, but i'm looking for the actual dataset of posts. Either as an RSS feed or more likely as massive file. There were some datasets available up until about 7 months ago, but wondering if there are any up-to-date options?
This guy is an idiot. Sorry to be blunt, but anyone who says google has done nothing is clearly delusional. Frankly I'm surprised that this even hit the presses.
Would be cool if the video would work on my iPhone. It starts to load then says 'not supported although it looks pole they have an iPhone version of the site. Weird.
As much as I love his enthusiasm and balls for going on the show, he was pretty terrible. Still good to see 'one of our own' up there! Kudos.
Awesome story, well done, and great execution. Site looks good. Don't listen to all the naysayers about monetization. It is important (the most important thing), but if you are living/breathing/eating your business, you will come up with proper revenue channels. I'm sure of it. Good luck.

How did you get the piece on huffPo? Are you a regular contributor there?
For what it's worth, sue those bastards.
What about the distinction between personal (google reader) and commercial usage. I think that was the point the author was trying to make. Individuals aren't going to pay thousands in lincense fees for their personal reading. But there are benfits for AFP to give away (snippets only) for free - they can monetize the traffic, drive brand awareness etc. But I guess they didn't want the traffic.

Amazing. Congrats Jason. After getting fed up of the incumbants, I started using two news site searlier this year (SM and NewsCred). Both have made remarkable achievements in short time periods. Now one is acquired already. What recession?
What do you mean selling a database? Do you means the contents of a database (list of data)? Curious.
Looking forward to hearing Gary's rant about Wine Library being dropped!
