New Age Marketing: Thoughts on Gary Vee's Jab Jab Right Hook.
http://www.amazon.ca/Jab-Right-Hook-Story-Social/dp/006227306X
Just started reading it and I must say that Gary provides a compelling and simplistic approach to an increasingly complicated area of marketing, social media marketing. His idea is that building social-media specific campaigns and engaging customers in friendly dialog is imperative to converting customers.

I'd like to hear your thoughts on the book, the good the bad and the ugly, and the feasibility of this new approach. Gary certainly has a passion for this space - but does his approach make sense?

Tool for ranking your preferences, by doing pairwise comparisons (Elo algorithm)
http://jona.ca/blog/elo-preference-ranker
This is an online tool I wrote that helps you to sort a list of items by importance. You paste in a list of items, then you are asked to compare them two at a time. As you go, it shows you an updated sorted list. It uses the Elo ranking algorithm, so that you still get decent results even if you don't do all pair combinations.<p>Why did I write this? My wife and I are thinking about moving and there are several dozen preferences we have, and I wanted to know which were our top 10 and in what order. You can use this for ranking any list of preferences: things you are looking for in a new car, favorite skills/interests to focus on when deciding on a new career, etc.

Show HN: The World Is Spiky: Our 3tap Hackathon Project
http://spiky.egd.im
This was a submission to the 3tap Hackathon by myself and gon - Code and full description are here:

https://github.com/danielsoneg/spiky-world

It's inspired by Richard Florida's "Spiky World" article from The Atlantic. We're pulling in "For Sale" posts from 10 different categories and comparing them across 10 different cities to show which cities "spike" in which categories compared to the rest of the country.

Note this was done in a couple hours - it's Very rough and only runs in browsers which support WebGL.

Ask HN: An Issue Tracker for Hackers
I've used Jira and "CA Agile Central" / "Rally" for tracking issues in the past. I use OmniFocus personally. One of my major gripes with all of these is that they don't make it easy to access your data. For both my team and my personal tasks I want a bug tracker that:

* Has a SQL based query interface.

* Is scriptable with Python or Javascript.

* Has an API that that allows me to CRUD tasks for integration with other tools.

I know that a lot of things are out there but the experience for a power user kind of sucks. Jira is shockingly slow and JQL is not fun to use. OmniFocus is not scalable for me and my partner. Which tool is simple, fast, and exposes the data in a way that makes it easy to manipulate?

Windows Phone Summit: The other big day for Microsoft next week
http://www.zdnet.com/blog/microsoft/windows-phone-summit-the-other-big-day-for-microsoft-next-week/12951
From the article ...

"As Microsoft more tightly ties Windows Phone to Windows — starting in earnest with the Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8?Windows RT releases — the fortunes on one platform seem pinned to the fortunes of the other. A common look and feel and toolset is good for customers and developers when a halo effect convinces users happy with one platform to try its sibling. But if one of the two platforms stagnates, that halo becomes an anchor…."

GNU/Linux-libre from Source Code for Loongson (MIPS64)
http://christophe.jarry.ouvaton.org/gnu-linux/gllfsc/gllfsc.en.html
Dear freedom lovers,

In an attempt to build a simple GNU/Linux-libre distribution targetted
at Loongson machines (MIPS64), I wrote a document that describes how to
build a basic GNU/Linux-libre operating system. The system is built by
cross-compilation in two passes (with sysroot):

1. Cross-compilation toolchain and tools are built.
2. The target system is built.

I hope it will be useful for the community.

Idea is that by removing diving equity as an issue in startups, founders are more free to pursue it's goals. Mike outlines simple process of dividing equity in early stage startups. Covers a lot of scenarios. I found it very interesting read.

From the description:
"Slicing Pie outlines a simple process to get your business started even if you don’t have a lot of cash. In the early days you can use equity to get the things you need to start your company including help, equipment, supplies, rent and even credit."

Ask HN: Graduate startup employability?

Is this the case? What would likely happen to my employability?

Ask HN: Is it possible to sell an app before it launches?
I've been working on a side-project that is an anonymous posting app for controversial issues.

I've checked out a few marketplaces online to sell source code but there seems to be nothing that is too helpful. I'm interested to just sell the entire app to someone. I believe it's too early-stage to even think about selling it to a company. Is this plausible? And if so, how would you recommend I go about this?

Download to the Cloud?
There are various cloud storage services. Be it Dropbox or Google Docs or SkyDrive. But, all them offer upload option only from the hard-disk. A really useful option in the upload menu could be to it point it to some url and download the resource directly to the the cloud service without downloading to my computer. Though this may seem like a feature bloat but consider this scenario. I am using dropbox on my android or on a public pc and don't currently have access to own computer but want to upload a file to Dropbox. Current system would want me to download it to my phone/public pc first and upload the same again to Dropbox. So, the process uses extra network usage which could be easily avoided.

P.S. If some implementation already exists, feel free to comment.
