Best advice I've ever gotten: "Doesn't matter where you are or what you are doing, just who you are with." That one hasn't let me down yet.

Definitely agree, just had a long conversation with a coworker about MS's need to apply research to real-life products. FYI, here's the "post to Facebook" feature, it's still in beta and was done by an intern this past summer. I believe e

Here's the thing - the really smart people at Microsoft are out there working on the hard problems, like improving facial recognition for image searches, writing software that synchs up your work and home laptops to your phone, making it ea

This article reminded me of a quote I heard a while back: "People pay for atoms, not for bits". Not 100% accurate, but if someone is going to fork over cash, you really, really, really need to make it worth their while. Unfortunately I do

I'm tired of them, too. However, here are a few areas where I think building a Twitter app can be useful. First, if you take advantage of the fact that a semi-interesting Twitter app can get lots of press right now, you can use it as a way

I'm working on the finishing touches for the next phase of my "A Startup A Day" project. The goal is to bring together experienced entrepreneurs, high-potential hackers/designers, and (eventually) investors in a step-by-step process to bui

This is definitely the post to read if you want a good perspective of what's really going on. I don't have any firsthand knowledge, but around this time every year MSFT seems to do a reorg, which can cause a lot of people to have to find n

Better question - would Facebook apps improve to the point where they would be worth paying for if FB built out a payment platform? Would enough pro devs start building FB apps if they knew they might have a revenue stream besides the drea

Facebook had this same "Quit your job, get easy money by building stupid little apps like this one!" buzz about a year ago. I actually know some people who quit their very well-paying jobs to take a shot at it...and unfortunately it hasn't

Good idea for those with some extra time during the holiday break. Here's one I like that I've been saving for my blog ( http://www.astartupaday.com ) but I'll go ahead and post it here. I'm predicting that over the next 1-3 years, we're g

Any guesses on how many "To Do List" apps are going to be available within the first month? Note to to do devs: I've got the killer To Do List app framework - it's a spiral-bound noteback and a cheap Bic pen. Problem solved. Seriously tho

Hey man - thanks for taking the time to put this post together. I work for MS and use the products on a daily basis, and while I don't completely agree with all the conclusions, I appreciate the spirit of trying to provide suggestions for

In addition, just think of the massive amounts of cash these researchers are stealing from the network TV execs and advertising agencies, since they may be working on this in their spare time in the evenings instead of watching TV. Despicab

Why not? Not disagreeing, genuinely curious what your thoughts are.

I took a crack at this problem space a few months back: http://astartupaday.wordpress.com/2008/08/16/y-combinator-ch... I was messing around with way I described the idea (partially because I thought it was a good idea and wanted to hide

Option 1: Remove it completely. I think it's pretty obvious that there are two links. The simpler you get, the more weight you give the stuff that's on the page, and to me this falls below the "useful" threshold. Option 2: "Use the follow

I love this site. Last year I posted an idea on my blog that was a collection of extremely simple sites where you get instant answers to questions like this. Is it raining, did the Cubs win today, is the stock market up or down, etc... Co

Developing for a client is much different than developing for the web. I see two options here. 1 - If you don't like doing client development and your true passion is in web development, quit or find a new position in the company where you

For #2, you might want to check out Zuckerbucks, which is a virtual currency for Facebook that paid out real prizes. Careful if you go that route, I know the guy who built it and it can be difficult to constantly be mailing out physical it

Congrats - great idea, well executed. I can't wait to start using this. Question to you or anyone else on this thread - are there any tools out there that could convert a UI mockup for a webpage (like one created with Dabbleboard or Basalm

When I graduated from high school, I would not have been able to go to college if not for lots of help from the gov't in the form of grants and loans. After graduating, I personally felt that I should spend a year "giving back" to the coun
