This is really interesting — thank you for building it. It seems some of the comments here are living up to HN's reputation. May that prove to be a good omen, as it has been in the past. The main thing I'm wondering is whether the

This post is a good primer on PR basics. If you'd like to read more on the subject, I (also) wrote a book about startup PR with plenty of examples (and a few jokes). The Burned-Out Blogger's Guide to PR : http://www.am

Agreed. The complexity feels overwhelming at times, and yet all too often isn't flexible enough to do what I want.

Hi, OP here. It was very gracious of him, but I should note that I've met Phil several times over the years (including while I was formerly a TechCrunch reporter), which I suspect had something to do with the speed.

Obviously there's a lot of demand in SOMA, but one suggestion to anyone thinking of living there: spend some time wandering around, both during the day and during the evening, and see if you like the vibe of the neighborhood (this advice ho

Thanks for posting this here, I'm a big fan of Hacker News. By the way, I'll have some free time (at least for the next few weeks), so if any HN folks have any questions related to PR, feel free to shoot me a note (email is in my profile).

I'd like to think there's more to it than that.

This line has made me laugh/driven me nuts since the first time I saw the movie — "Only the Sith deal in absolutes" is itself an absolute.

RepublicWireless.com just went live with all the details. Here's the catch (they're quite transparent about it): The phone monitors how much data you're sending over Wifi vs cellular, and if you're using a disproportionate amount of cell da

I don't know the financial breakdown, but it's worth noting that Bandwidth.com — the company behind Republic Wireless — actually runs the VoIP backbone that powers Twilio, Google Voice, and other services. So I'd imagine they get a better r

It's feasible that Cyanogenmod will release a compatible version though, isn't it?

Hey folks, I'm a writer at TC. This wasn't about CrunchFund, it was an embargo issue.

That message sounds to me like the servers will be taken down on October 15 (not just the app, but the actual service). Am I misreading it?

"With this price, though, Amazon won't steal Apple's customers.." I think a lot of people with iPads would have been more than happy to spend half as much to get an easy-to-use tablet.

I doubt Facebook would build a hardware device. Instead, I think they'll do a 'social OS' that uses Android for all the low-level stuff, but with the Google apps all replaced with apps that have deep Facebook integration (messages, contacts

Google allowed Facebook to import your Google Contacts via an API for years. Last fall it blocked Facebook's access to that API, saying that they'll restore it when Facebook offers reciprocity (i.e. if Facebook begins to allow users to expo

My concern about Zynga is that they're going to burn through users. People will pay for things in a game and have fun doing it. Then they'll get sick of that game and move on to the next one. And they'll buy more things there, and then they

In case you haven't seen it, here's an awesome story on how FB hired Chris Putnam: http://www.quora.com/How-did-Chris-Putnam-get-hired-at-Faceb... He hacked Facebook in 2005 and they hired him. From what I've heard he was one of their mos

I'm sorry you don't like the show. You seem to be in the minority, though. FWIW there are some things I think we could improve on as far as polish goes (a title/intro sequence would be a start). But I'm not going to change my personality.

(TC writer here) I'd say send an email, and if you don't get a response in 1-2 days send one more saying that if you don't hear back in the next 24 hours you'll probably try your luck elsewhere. Don't be threatening about it (the reporter d

I'd love for someone to correct me, but this conclusion just doesn't ring true to me. They say "the world's most popular 'erotic' site for women is FanFiction.net".. and it only gets 1.5 million visitors a month. Something tells me there ar

Okay, but Facebook isn't really going head-to-head with everyone else shipping the stock version of Android with a slightly different coat of paint, so I don't think it's a huge deal if they're a few months behind. Also, while there have be

Honeycomb is the outlier and will probably be released in a few months (actually, I think Google is stalling til they release Ice Cream Sandwich). And I doubt Facebook would release a tablet before they release a phone.

I don't understand how Google can maintain any control over those devices, though. My understanding was that anyone could download the Android source, sans Google applications like Gmail and Market, and install it on whatever they want. If

I think Amazon is trying to become the backbone for the 'alternative' set of Android core apps that will inevitably be developed. These apps will appeal to any carrier/OEM that wants to stop licensing from Google, or from companies like Ama
