I'm super excited to start playing around with this. Although there is still friction in moving from one app to another, this API is a first step in weaving together what is now a disjoint mobile experience. Also, a great way to growth

We need more female entrepreneurs with attitudes like this. Although awareness for equality issues is undoubtedly important, Collin hits the nail on the head by re-focusing on the undeniable truth: running a company is just plain hard. Sure

Interesting demo site design as well. Not sure if I love it, but the speckled header was definitely memorable.

D3 is the reason I got into animation in the first place. The general ease-of-use combined with the hackability of it is awesome.

Super glad that this is on the frontpage. Dashboard design is probably the single biggest thing that analytics companies overlook when building product. It took us nearly 5 iterations to get our dashboard to a decent point. What's wors

I'm sometimes a skeptic of flat design, but the flattened Dropbox icon looks awesome on the new site.

I think the article is great, but I'm not sure about a few particular industry segments. For example, in SaaS, it often may make sense to actually charge for software up-front before even having product-market fit to see if there's even any

Looked at the screenshot, is this using some sort of integration with Screenhero? After playing/using Screenhero, I've been excited about the possibility of incorporating it into web apps.

A bit confused; the TC article says all of the startups in the current batch are B2B, but Boxbee seems to be B2C. Am I missing something?

Love the tech, but the design is spectacular. I'm one to get turned off pretty quickly if things aren't obvious/well-designed, but this is the exact opposite. Kudos.

I love the idea. An immediate thought is whether this technology can be abstracted for use in different departmental infrastructures (training a new frontend dev on the platforms/tools the rest of the dev teams use, training a salesman on t

First of all, I think this technology and application is awesome. Glass really is pushing the boundaries of what can be done in the physical world with contact to software and the internet. I just worry that it's approaching communication p

I can attest to this. Initially, I was extremely skeptical that the Tesla was anything great (electric cars haven't been the highlight of the automotive industry despite repeated attempts by established manufacturers). A few weeks ago, howe

Cool idea. Seems pretty similar to http://www.tweetspiration.com/ . After putting a decent spam-filter on this, maybe there's a way to introduce crowd-supported mechanics (ala upvotes, comments, relevant mentions/hashtags)?

I sort of understand the reasoning behind App.net, but I'm worried that its developer focus will prevent many average users from joining the service and prevent it from really providing the social layer that's necessary to actually build so

They basically just ran a (very extreme) Groupon. Most companies that do daily deals lose money on them in hopes of turning some of those initial customers into recurring or lifetime customers or to increase awareness for their products. Th

I think turnaround CEOs have the some of the toughest and most public jobs in the industry. The particularly difficult roles are for those individuals that already have a successful past (Mayer with Google) that are then implicitly 'expecte

I think Phish's style is really similar to the Allman Brothers' back in their heyday. Although I doubt they profited massively from it, Live At Fillmore East is a jam rocker's dream album. This article brings up an interesting thought: back

I do think there's a fine line between being resilient and becoming unfazed by failure (the latter of which is bad). As the article points out, failure is important as a learning tool, but by the same token, trying to avoid failure isn't ne

I can totally attest to this, but for me the story played out a bit differently. My v1 designs for the company I'm working on now look like trash, but at the time, I tried to convince myself that I liked them a lot. Deep down, I know they w
