HA this guy. For years he went on and on and on about my first start-up idea and not in a positive way. In 2007 I created The Social Alarm Clock (was my 1st idea on the web) and asked for feedback here. This Matt guy, hated the concept an

What's even worse that it automatically connected to Picasso which I must have used 5 or more years ago for some very private photos. When I signed up to google plus I was shocked to see these photos my ex gave me. There were under album

Not so amazing as Skype nor Vonage match the phone experience as neither take control of your dialer nor run in the background. If Skype is closed your phone won't ring and your calls will be missed.

How about news sites charging say $12 bucks a yr. for iPhone centric versions of their site? Reading Hacker News & other news sites on the iPhone is not the greatest experience! A lot of sites could charge for this and in turn offer a

We ( http://sleep.fm ) redirect IE6 users to an older version of the site that has less features. Not sure, if that's suffice for this campaign or not?

So you don't use an alarm clock that uses noise to wake you? We have made the noise extremely short and it repeats til you stop it. This weekend I was gonna go on a hike that was 2 hours away with some friends. Forecast woke me saying hot

I've never had trouble sleeping but in my start-up journey the alarm clock and working to improve it has become part of my life. Most people just want to hear a noise, like an mp3; maybe because that's what they are use to. FOr us we want

Since we do not have access to IE6 and know our latest version is messed up in it we are forwarding IE6 users to our old version( /ie6Index). The site is functional but asks them to upgrade.

Nice job! I saw a similar service called umbrellatoday too. A month or so ago we ( http://sleep.fm ) launched wake up to ur weather report. We speak the weather to you upon zip code entry/alarm time passing. Thought I'd share via the re

Agreed ... though I say the title of your email is most important, rather then it's contents. Be short, sweet & descriptive in your title and in the email. Press and bloggers get a lot of mail each day. Don't forget the little guy blo

Does it let me claim my name and auto register said name to each site? A new form of Open ID! Visual and lazy!

Its an amazing simple idea and tool! So much data on there for us start-uppers to use for research, marketing, as well as building innovating services using the data. One could create a crowd sourced Rotten Tomatoes-esque site. One exampl

Maybe we'll see this ... obviously we all thought of this feature before and would enjoy this. Maybe they are listening? Also, if they are listening I would like to be able to Twitter within Gmail. Have an inbox tab and a Twitter tab; spe

I'd prefer an option where I send it and it rests on gmail's server for X amount of time I specify (minutes, hours, days). I could then go back to it and edit it at will or delete it before the send time has passed.

Unfortunately, it goes with the territory. But, if you believe in your work and you hear positive, the positive is your audience. Work for your audience ... don't dismiss the negative if such is constructive feedback you can use to make a
