^^^Nice way to seize the moment. Interesting website concept. Just a suggestion for the homepage: since the top header is so tall, how about moving the play song links from the bottom of each song-artwork to be a universal play symbol (arro

THANKS for sharing this. Wouldn't have discovered it otherwise and definitely a positive refresher with new points beyond his TED talk. For anyone still sitting-on/queuing/water-latering Lessig's main TED talk on money i

I don't think its so much about adding interests as it is offering random but related articles to what someone views. Not everyone always checks the related articles section- and that section is not always very comprehensive. It'd be a good

Good point. Also everyone in this thread, even the OP, failed to realize the main difference/point with the site: it's about LOCAL entrepreneurship and building your LOCAL community, something Brad has been writing about. http://www.start

This could be really powerful if users could put up actual $$$ for feature requests so the site actually performs more like kickstarter. This would also help the quality of requests. Once the company completes the feature satisfactorily the

Must have a huge margin! It will sell if they promote it right, which it looks like they are doing. I can see buying this for a friend as a gift. I can also see it becoming a nice bathroom light at night, as I hate waking myself up with bri

Very interesting, sounds similar to Amy Cuddy talking about body language affecting our mind/behavior. http://www.ted.com/talks/amy_cuddy_your_body_language_shapes... Will you post more (the thesis) when it becomes available?

Exactly, it looks great as it is right now. Where's waldo like. But I'm a video guy and motion would make this world epic.

This reminds me of something... As someone who LOVED rollercoaster tycoon, please please please consider object/character movement, such as NPC's that move and do stuff. Like puke on the ground after roller coasters =) Also other players wh

It'd be REALLY cool if someone could turn this into a screensaver, where it progressively pans and zooms in/out. Then when you're mind is just about to be blown at full-zoom-in, it should rotate like a boss and slap a new perspective of lif

The pain with finding user pains is organizing. Everybody will talk/search things differently. Pains can also be slightly different but on the same topic. Then theres the marketing problem, finding enough users in a certain topic/pain to ju

Bostinno also recently reported another project that simply failed to deliver: http://bostinno.com/2012/04/25/kickstarters-dark-side/ Could this create a market for 'verified' kickstarter projects? Kickstarter as an organization states th

I like how they link to the gizmodo article to reference the benefits, when in fact the article says its stupid to DIY.

Agreed. And thats where I can see the value. However I'd want something a lil more. For example, perhaps 'things' would keep coming back for say 30, 60, 90 days. You complete the thought and turn it into a habit and now you're good, so you

I didn't realize you could buy a hammock for under $20: http://www.amazon.com/Texsport-14258-La-Paz-Hammock/dp/B000P... Now does anybody know how/where I can get something that rocks/pulls my hammock back and forth?

Very good point! Feedback from other entrepreneurs is usually arbitrary, and you usually have to qualify the advice based on each person's unique history/background. It's nice to see if entrepreneurs agree with your idea, but it all comes d

Okay, I'll bite. I've researched and critiqued dozens of ideas; I've also had my ideas ripped apart by others. So here's my feedback; playing devil's advocate here because there's no mention of these ideas being a true passion for your team

If you already got your design ready, I'd go with PSPrint. They are fast and a good price. Just make sure you review their checklist/psd template. IE: CMYK or you might regret it
