Think marketing is manipulative? Why we need MORE marketing that actually works
http://www.iwillteachyoutoberich.com/blog/why-personal-finance-experts-continue-writing-worthless-advice/
I've noticed that some people think marketing is bad/dirty/manipulative -- that facts alone should persuade people to change their behavior. But actually, this rarely works. We need MORE, BETTER marketing. I've written a long essay about how this works with personal finance and politics, but it's also relevant to tech startups.

Homejoy acquires largest competitor
http://www.dogejoy.com
As many of you know, we have been neck and neck with a competing cleaning company and recently things have gotten very tense as we battle for market share and cleaners. Well, that tension can die down now and we can relax a little bit because Homejoy has decided to acquire our largest competitor : Dogejoy . While, we all felt that Homejoy would eventually win the home cleaning race, something about Dogejoy's cute fuzzy faces and broken english made us a little nervous.
No. I never check references.
Poll: Do you personally check references for developers you want to hire?
Here in the UK I've noticed a significant apathy towards checking references. There's almost an unwritten rule that says they are pointless.

I'm curious as to what HN's take on references are regardless of what country you work in. Do they serve a purpose given the emphasis placed on a developers code etc?

Are they the domain of HR as a pure compliance, box ticking exercise? Vote on the poll and share your thoughts.

Internal Link Building to Speed up your Search Engine Rankings
http://enewsz.com/2010/01/internal-link-building-to-speed-up-your-search-engine-rankings/
Today, I am going to talk about the most overlooked Link Building strategies. Most of the times I am surprised how most people completely ignores this powerful link building strategies. This is how sites like Wikipedia (Wikipedia) and Amazon dominates the front page of Google (Google). It’s actually your own internal Link structure. The internal links within your own site can have a large impact over your Search Engine Rankings. This is especially true if you are having a large website/blog with many pages.

Ask HN: What would you expect, want from a Crowdfunding API?
Hi, HN!

Invested.in is going to slowly push out our Crowdfunding API and we want to know that we are spending our time working on the right stuff. We have a lot built already, but wanted to ask anyone who is interested what they would want out of it or what they would do with it.

We have some beta testers already who will be doing things as simple as listing specific categories of projects on their blogs (as affiliates), and as complicated as adding crowdfunding to their sites, feeding new projects into our eco-system (and then listing those projects on their sites as well).

Would love your opinions and advice.

THANKS!

Estimates versus Commitment
http://marekblotny.com/2010/08/estimates-versus-commitment/
If you are a member of development team, sooner or later someone will ask you to estimate something. It can be something small like a bug or task but it can be also something bigger like entire project. Regardless what that is, try to figure out what kind of answer you are expected to give. I don’t mean here that you should be trying to give the “right” estimate. I’m thinking about something different — usually there are two possible types of answers...
Entrepreneurs Turn Carbon Sequestration Into A Source Of Revenue

The Facebook Killer - fantasy?
Hi, I was thinking about Facebook, about why is it so successful and about what could possibly be even more successful. I would like to share these my ideas and I'm curious what do you people think about it.

Why is Facebook so successful. Why everyone wastes so much time on Facebook. Well, it's this whole social interaction idea - you go to Facebook because your friends are there. You get to comment on photos and statuses - it's basically like sitting in a pub talking.

But wait, when you're in a pub you're not doing anything productive, you're not studying, you're not working. And I think this is exactly why Facebook is so successful, it's because "not doing anything productive" is what we do most of the time. Maybe not you, maybe not me, but 99% of people just like to waste their time.

The only "Facebook Killer" idea that I have in my mind is something that would help you be productive. It's something that Facebook doesn't do. It's exactly what Facebook doesn't do.

I have this very particular need - to have a place just like Facebook, but where you wouldn't waste time, but you would get work done. (I'm a student so I mean working together on school problems.) I would like to have a place where all my friends would be and where we could come up with creative solutions to problems.

Well, there are already websites for this, right? I'm pretty sure there already are "Productive Facebooks." So if there are, how come there's no Productive Facebook with 500 million users? How come there's no Productive Facebook where all my friends are just like on the Facebook?

Well, the answer is most of the people don't want to be productive. There's no way a website that would help people work would be as successful as website that help people do nothing! That's why this Facebook killer could be never as successful as Facebook.

--

So my point. No way to kill Facebook.

Show HN: Alcove.xyz – A Nuzzle replacement using RSS
https://www.alcove.xyz
I’ve been working on a little site to replace Nuzzle after Twitter acquired and shut it down last year. The basic idea is that you connect your Twitter account and receive a unique RSS feed that gives you all the links that would show up in your Twitter timeline. I mostly built it for myself but given all the Twitter drama, I figure there are people out there like me who want to escape the commentary, but still value the links people share.

Please give it a try! If you encounter bugs or want to give feedback, you can drop a comment here or message me on Twitter at @kdamica.

This Whatsapp Redesign Concept Is Ready For The “Flat” Next-Gen iOS

If there's one thing Whatsapp falls short on, it's the design. German Designer Julian Kraske created this Whatsapp redesign concept and it is gorgeous.

Here comes the more interesting part: it's no secret that Apple has been considering a more "flat" design for future versions of iOS, and among all of the concepts I have seen before, this Whatsapp Redesign has the most success in capturing the essence of what the Cupertino giant is trying to do, without looking like the Windows Phone OS at all.
