1) Change your name. Tweet + Digg sounds like a social media parody. Also, I don't think you can use the word "tweet" in your name without risking being sued by Twitter. And, if you grow, you may expand beyond filtering Tweets. 2) Your au

Don't forget touch. In the last 5 years we've moved from a world where most computer interaction happened with a monitor on a desk and a virtual mouse pointer. Now many consumers user smartphones as their primary computer - which they hol

Was just reading your website and saw the Joe Vs. The Volcano clip. That's one of my favorite movies and I've never met anyone else that has even heard of it, much less quotes from it. We might have to be friends.

There is no reason for the gym to make it fun. As the article points out, the gym wants you to come once (not have fun) and then not come back - but continue to pay the monthly membership fee. If the gym was fun, and every member came in re

You would be surprised. If you distribute software to non-programmers, check your stats for # of downloads started vs. # of applications started (or new users). My guess is that they are way off: Most computer users do not know what a "Dow

I did almost exactly the same thing on one of my websites (screenshots showing the user what to click on to complete the download). I started getting customer support requests complaining that the "Download window could not be clicked on an

Can you (or another SEO) comment on why the mini-site is better than just a blog post on their site? Don't they want the PageRank juice for their main site and not the mini-site? Or is the plan to redirect the mini-site at a later date?

"useful tools in securing budgets and coordinating teams" This is exactly what Gruber is referring to. If crazy videos like this are being used to determine budgets, then the company is being led by fools. Any manager that would watch this

Actually, Apple spends significantly less on R&D than both Google and Microsoft. They spend, but not billions like their competitors. http://www.asymco.com/2010/05/25/apples-rd-efficiency/

Slightly facetious with the HN == good parenting comment. But in general, if you are the type of person that likes to learn, problem solves and strives to improve, you'll do fine at parenting. "Approach parenting like a startup" isn't such

My wife use to be a social worker. It is incredibly sad how many children are put in front of a TV all day. And not Sesame Street or even cartoons - but Soap Operas, Jerry Springer, Cops, Fox News etc. Picture a dirty trailer home, behind

The ad-to-purchase flow is the killer feature of this device. (1) These are pre-loaded with your Amazon.com account (the one you bought it with). You don't have to sign in to it, it already knows who you are. (2) The first ad I saw was a "

It's the comedians that always say it best. Colbert's short little clip here (especially the very powerful ending) and the Onion's article are the two most touching pieces I've read on Steve Jobs. It reminds me of the Onion's "Holy Fucking

Accept that it's more like taking someone that has a 10% chance of success and moving them to 20%. Most of the applicants to YC have a near zero percent chance of success. With or without help.

Don't forget the costs associated with creating an album. The studio time required to record the album s cheaper than it used to be, but still substantial. Some of them may have needed new instruments etc. The costs are higher than missed o

$76 billion dollars in the bank. If Apple had announced they were going to spend it all to make Steve well again, would would have protested? Somewhere in here is a lesson on the price of immortality.
