A bunch of phonegap apps have gotten in to the app store: http://phonegap.com/projects Maybe that person just got unlucky and had a bad app tester.

#2 is not true. Stories posted automatically via the API won't show up in friend's newsfeeds. But apps can popup a "feed form" which allows users to preview the content the app wants to post to their wall (this can include an image or embed

I'm not sure how common it is for apps to be making that much, but I know one of the top apps is pulling in $5,000+ a day, and it's by an individual developer. I was making around $150 a day from an app with 100,000 monthly active (90% were

I think this is a very promising idea. I think the idea of an embeddable widget that flips through all your photos (like the videos you describe that inspired the site) would be really cool. I think if a widget like this is done right you c

I think you've got it backwards. Since correlation is bidirectional then the reversal should NOT be meaningless.

Just a guess, but they may feel that having the beta label on a downloadable app tends to turn people off, whereas people don't mind beta web apps (its the norm and they won't screw up your system).

But what does the link do? EDIT: Nevermind, I get it now. I think the idea has some promise, but I'd work on making things more clear on the main page. Maybe have three small screenshots showing the process: - An image of an email window wi

Sorry, I don't understand what this is. There's no ability to add info to the invite page (like event info) so what are you inviting your friends to?

You could work on integrating with the twitter api. Look how much linkage blip.fm is getting on twitter: http://search.twitter.com/search?q=blip.fm

Not sure I understand either. Is this website supposed to be a destination where users go to find good content / entertainment?

That's the point. You play pong with the moving windows that it creates. Nothing malicious here.

I think an option to filter out (or just see) self-referential posts would be great. I actually like AskHN posts a lot, and an option to just see those posts would probably encourage people to post more.

While you can probably improve a karma system with decay or a more complicated algorithm, there's something to be said for having a system simple that your users understand. I'd make a wild guess that karma wouldn't be as interesting to use

Anyone know if this uses Amazon Mechanical Turk?

I interviewed a bunch of reddit users for my senior thesis. One thing I found was that the karma system really encouraged participation (not too surprising but worth considering if your building a social news site). Check out http://www.th

In the interview you mentioned that your monthly burn rate was “in the low four figures". Does that include salaries for your team? Just curious what your cost breakdown is, how much of that goes towards servers, etc (if you don't mind reve

I think it would make sense to allow people to use your app (start building a list of artists) before registering. Just store their list to a cookie and show a little notification that tells them to enter their email and a password to save

Some good points, but I'm not sure network duplication is really an issue here. If 100 people want to try to create an entrepreneur network and see if they can get a real user base going then that's fine. I doubt many users find networks to

I think halo's critique is pretty much correct. You've done a good job with the site, but I just can't see it gaining any traction against ebay, craigslist, etc.. in it's current form. You've got a lot of nice features, but consider strippi

One minor suggestion: Would it be that hard to allow me to click and drag the panoramas without having to click that hand button first?

js-kit's comments addon would work if you don't care about having accounts. It's very customizable.

Thanks for the feedback. I may allow users to edit titles once I figure out the best interaction flow for that. As far as filtering goes, right now I probably won't do much, but I may eventually break the home page up into "recently popular

Thanks, just added that to the bookmarklet!

I agree, I will be adding a box on the homepage that gives new users an idea of what the site is all about and displays the bookmarklet. Thanks for the feedback!

samataro: I'm working full time and using laconica was simply the quickest way to get from the idea stage to up and running. If imgfave take off I'll most likely rewrite it from scratch.

Yeah, that will be one of the next things I add. Thanks for checking it out!

Weird, that shouldn't be happening. I'll fix that today.
