http://radar.net seems to be working fine and radar.com is something entirely different and dumb. They went with the .net because the .com was taken.

scribd works well for people who are too lazy to start their own blog but want to say something publicly. Do you want lazy people as primary customers? I don't know, but there will always be lazy people.

Sure epinions would be a closer comparison to us, because we do allow user reviews. Our approach though, is mostly to let people submit links to outside reviews. There will always be CNet & engadget (and these will be submitted), but what

Someone who's IQ is reasonably high will still say uninformed things. Also, IQ does not change with age... so a 14 year old with a high IQ would fit right into your "elite community" and immediately spoil the party due to their lack of matu

:-) I'm glad this got posted on here. We are building a product review site & I was super tempted to leave a comment on techcrunch. Alas, our site isn't far enough along, nor is it prepared for that kind of attention. PowerReviews/buzzilli

The answer is yes. Apparently (as you already know) Google's employee intellectual property agreements say that they have the rights to anything developed while employed by Google. Read all the fine print and speak to a lawyer. The short a

"A duck can swim, walk and fly. But an eagle flies faster and more skillfully, fish are better swimmers and just about anything on legs can outrun a duck." In other words, ducks can do a lot of things but they are not experts in any of them

Thanks for your input. I'm sure it would be nearly impossible to sell. ;-) Hence i volunteer to sell it myself. I'm sure it would be a huge undertaking because of things the hardware limitations & time it would take to update things... bu

2 things to keep in mind: It is in the interest of seed funders to encourage you not to fund yourself with debt. They want to ride the gravy train if you succeed. It is in your interest not to fund yourself with debt. All probability s

Is this basically a repackaging of their existing affiliates program? Either way - Amazon clearly doesn't get it. Their blog references blogs.inspions.net as an example of someone using the double underline for their new Context Links. Well
