I need beta testers for my web-based RSS reader
Hey,

Like the title says, I'm building an RSS reader and I'm looking for beta testers. http://pheedr.net

I have set up a live chat box on the site. So if you feel like offering a stream of consciousness review...we can do that.
In the "Nedap story": "With activities branching into healthcare as well, it is important for their systems to be available at all times."

I think you can afford to lose the "as well".
Yes, very good points. But I would say that omitting is the same thing as lying. HR is asking for the absolute truth, and here you are "omitting" things which isn't necessarily telling the truth.

The forbes article I linked to had the same omitting points as you made.
It's pandering to the lowest common denominator in an unprofessional and not entirely honest fashion, using shitty vectors (a soundtrack, really?).

They've fixed that, it now says "the percentage of days".

Always good advice. Dan Warmenhoven (CEO of Netapp where I worked at the time) told me that you can't change a company by leaving it. This is so true. Pretty much nothing you say in an exit interview will achieve any positive good, its like taking relationship advice from your soon to be ex-spouse.
However, if people don't buy what your building you have made a mistake. It can be slick, salable, cheap, and marketed to the high heavens, but it's customers that decide if you have a business or a really expensive hobby.

Yep, I'm just a pussy and need to man up, you got it. Must have got my sensitive feelings hurt, that's all this is. Very insightful comment, "bro".
I think this raises an interesting question about the nature of natural monopolies in technology, and the lack of competition caused by that effect.

Craigslist is powerful cause of it's network effects, and it's getting away with what is most probably an inferior service.

yes. it will be worth it. once you get past medium shell usage, you will appreciate many of zsh's features. you might have a harder time writing a posix compatible shell script though.
The company, regardless of laws that claim individual rights for corporations, is not something that can be judged independently of the people who comprise it. If you judge a company you are by definition judging it's employees, owners, shareholders, etc. If you are not considering the people, then a company itself is almost nothing.
You assumed wrongly. They accessed an employees account and took a file out, they didn't further compromise Dropbox's backend in any way. So in this particular instance, client side encryption wouldn't have helped at all.
That's possible. However, if that's the case, I'm surprised Craig hasn't engaged at all on this issue. It would seem an awful lot of lousy stuff is happening in his name.

Craigslist is nowhere near that popular. It the largest secondary market for a lot of things, but for more people trade there car back to a dealer than use Craigslist etc.
I too pledged for the MakeyMakey. It was a no brainer because they already on V3 of a working prototype. The money was to gauge interest and get a deal on parts.

Don't know what you mean by "interacts horribly with VMware" but people who care about that is probably a small demographic given the target market of Windows.

Also the cheaper feel of laptops was a valid argument a few years ago but since then quite a few ultrabooks have been available that are quite sleek.
> They rejected the app repeatedly for the following reasons:

> - in-app purchase does not provide a restore button (which I've never seen in any other app btw)

Really?! Every app I use has a restore button. As a user, I'm happy they reject your app. Otherwise, if I buy that "thing" from you (via IAP) on my iPhone, it's not available on my iPad, iPod touch, or even iPhone if I restore it to factory settings. The point of IAP is: you purchase it once, it's available on all your personal devices. But your method is: every new device must purchase it again and again and again. I'm not saying you're scamming, but you're not playing by the rules customers have come to expect.

So, I'm with Apple in this specific case. In my view, your app "deserved" to be rejected. But, a 2 week interval between review results? That really sucks. Shame on them.
That's the '+' :)

That's an extremely concise, and (I believe), correct, point.

The question is whether or not there's room for a craigslist clone, particularly one that can succeed by sharing its data openly with third-parties.

In truth, I'm doubtful. My reluctant conclusion is that there is, in fact, value in preventing the data from being spread across multiple interfaces and platforms, which itself could confuse users. This was essentially Twitter's stance when it came time to solidify their brand and reduce the number of clients.

There is real user value in knowing how their listing will be presented. I mean, if I'm listing a room for rent and "DruggieCriminalRoommateFinder" syndicates my listing, I'm probably not going to be happy with the response quality.
Someone should write a bot to take all the remaining spots.
The "Privacy Policy" button doesn't work ... how ironic.
That is not an answer to his question.
FYI, I'm not part of any of the above listed companies. I just thought it was an interesting article that's all. I've never even heard of some of these companies until I read that article.
The copyright is still with the post author; Craigslist is not asking for it to be transferred. The author still has the ability to license the content to the other sites. In doing so, they breach the agreement with Craigslist saying their license was exclusive. So it's simple breach of contract between the listing author and CL; the other site has done no wrong and is not a party to the breach.

IOW: This text gives Craigslist some ammo to go after a site they can prove got the listing from copying Craigslist, but not sites the listing author also posted to.
Agreed. It's just an interesting advantage. I don't think it makes you successful, clearly most Y-Combinator companies still fail.
Voxer

We launched Voxer in 2011 and have since become one of the fastest growing voice applications in the world. What we've built is already an important part of the daily lives of millions of people.

We're a surprisingly small team doing this. Only about a dozen engineers who previously worked at Danger, Android, Apple & Twitter. We helped build things like redis for node.js and are contributors to the node.js community. Voxer is built using node.js, Riak and Redis.

* If half of your resume talk about animal-named systems you're probably the right person for the job

know the pressure of delivering against tight SLAs
