Buy it now Social Media links? Any Recommendations? 
ne reason advertising fails to make money is because ads are actually a barrier to making a purchase, an extra click between buyers and the desired outcome, a middleman. eCommerce works best when purchasing is simple, quick, safe, and easy to understand. Pretty much everyone hates ads, but most people like shopping. So why not replace ad revenue with embedded shopping— human curated, relevant products available in context without making your audience leave the site? When I read a book review on the New York Times, I don’t want an Amazon link, I want a buy now button. In this presentation, I’ll show you how integrate eCommerce across all social media platforms quickly, easily and inexpensively. New tools for embedded stores are a win for everyone— sellers, buyers and publishers. As a merchant, I'm willing to pay a much higher percentage for an actual sale than I am for a stream of visitors to my site. As a shopper, I want to buy things that appeal to me with the minimum hassle, preferably from someone I trust. As a content provider, I want to offer my audience products I believe in that I know they will like, use and enjoy from merchants I trust to enhance my reputation.

VC Fundraising Manual: Ask The VC About Follow-On Investing
http://getventure.typepad.com/markpeterdavis/2008/02/ask-the-vc-abou.html
Typically at the end of the meeting the VC will ask if you have another other questions that they can answer. While you can ask questions throughout the entire meeting, this structured window usually comes right after the end of meeting VC pitch.

One question that you should always try to ask is whether or not the VC typically makes follow-on investments in subsequent rounds. There are a couple reasons why this is important to do:

Show HN: Get automatic size recommendations while shopping online
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ember/ddieocknklgdnmdleflioopohbcljbej
Hi there!

Allow me to introduce Ember, a tool to help your online clothing orders fit perfectly.

We’ve all ordered something online, only for it to arrive and not fit. Sometimes we expect it and so order a few sizes of the same thing. Actually, about 1/3 of all the clothing ordered online is returned, and half of that is due to poor sizing. Dealing with those returns is a huge waste of our time, not to mention the losses from unsellable garments and round-trip shipping.

Ember’s goal is to eliminate returns altogether. It’s a Chrome extension that takes a set of your measurements, compares them to the garment dimensions (schematics for each piece of clothing made), and then selects the size most likely to fit you best. Right now, it works on Everlane.com, and I plan to add more stores with time.

Usually, you have to sign up and share your measurements to use Ember. But, I made a test account so you can easily give it a whirl. Simply use the credentials below, navigate to Everlane.com, and see for yourself :)

Show HN: Twinwords - fast two word domain name generator
http://twinwords.com
For a hobby project, I made a web domain name generator. It's always bugged me they aren't smarter.

It algorithmically figures out similar words by calculating pair similarities for all the two word domain names in the .com zone file (about 60 million.) Because of the way it works, the 'synonyms' it generates are more like how people use the words in domain names instead of a thesaurus, and it works for lots of things that aren't dictionary words. (ex: http://twinwords.com/?cmd=suggest&first=reddit&second=html )

Tech buzzwords used if you have any questions: nodejs, C, mongo, bloomfilter, jaccard similarity.

Try it out and tell me what you think!

Turn Your IPod or IPhone Into a Portable Drive

Whether you use your iPod or iPhone for entertainment, communication, or to amplify your cool quotient, all models share one thing in common: They can function as portable storage devices. Depending on the model, your device features either a hard drive or flash drive that allows you to read and write files to it just like an external drive once you enable it to do so. Here's how.

Enable your iPod

You can turn any iPod (except iPod touch, see below) into a portable drive using iTunes. If you manually manage your music instead of having iTunes automatically sync songs, you don't need to do anything-your iPod is already set to function as an external drive, and will mount and be accessible on your desktop whenever you connect it.

If you set iTunes to automatically sync music to your iPod, you'll need to enable disk use; connect your iPod to your Mac, open iTunes, and select your iPod in the Source pane under Devices. Click the Summary tab (or Settings tab for iPod shuffle) and then select the "Enable disk use" checkbox. Your iPod will now mount as a drive volume on your desktop whenever you connect it.
