Looking great and positioning is really nice (just photos). We used Zencoder for a similar purpose last year and it helped to encode video files as well. The pricing on these services to make your ima…

Might not necessarily be relevant to Hacker News under pg's charter but I would suggest reading why these people can't get permits for their solar panels. "basically people installed solar panels, whi…

They're demonstrating that users are getting value out of it. School administrators will pay for this system if they can demonstrate teachers want to use it and are able to get better performance out …

1. a) Find the highest person at the company who you can get an intro to. b) Find the highest person at the company whose email address you can get a hold of. 2. Email them with a short email describi…

Tumblr's previous paid promotion system was massively effective. I'm glad they've brought it back in this new form.

I actually find this more useful. I've spent countless hours trolling through trying to find .psd templates, admin panels, keynote templates and quick and dirty Wordpress themes for MVP's. This will g…

Considering the amount of incredible tech talent at ThemeForest I'm surprised they haven't built a better way to consume all of their content. Same goes across the whole Envato company. Hopefully they…

"when the truly outstanding in other fields are paid a lot less?" You mean like sports stars? The command higher fees because having their name attached to a project reduces the amount of marketing ex…

Exactly. A "one-size fits all" model isn't going to work in the fragmented music market. Pop artists & their labels already know how to make money selling music, this model is more in tune to the …

Love this. It's almost a list of things you should set as priorities for your startup. How do we get started on development? How do we get to launch? How do we get blogged about? How do we get a payin…

Have replied on Quora but generally speaking my advice is that it's really hard to get through to these guys. They're busy, they get hustled all day every day. However if you approach their media or a…

Pfizer for one.

I find it a little strange that they even mention their competitors, it feels like they're so far in front in terms of product that it may be unnecessary.

I think you can simplify your home page and messaging. When I first got to the page I had to hunt around to work out exactly what it was that you did and what your unique selling proposition was. I wo…

It's a hard question to ask without an understanding of the economics of the country you live in. Believe it or not I developed a new product strategy for an Australian telco and ISP that ended up get…

Nice one Will. I've written a couple of lists that might be a good starting point though the first is a bit out of date being from 2009: http://www.mynameisned.com/awesome-melbourne-tech-startups h…

Half of our team work remotely but even in the office we use DropBox because it means we can use the one platform to share internally amongst local + remote team members AND to clients. It's super eas…

Beautifully simple single product page. I've recently become a convert to no gradients, flat buttons etc.

By "hack" I think they mean they know how to hustle the shit out of SV tech companies and some of the top musicians in the world. Not an easy hack at all.

Nice use of Twitter's Bootstrap :)

Genuinely excited about these guys. Referral systems are _hard_, social referral programs are potentially worth a lot of money.

I think your product is probably 90% of the way there to being relevant for the music industry. It would appeal to music industry publicists, labels, marketing companies, artists etc etc. I'm sure the…

This is incredible. One route for this would have been to make it so it could be used across any industry but by sticking to games you've made it incredibly valuable in that niche. Keen to see how it …

Incredibly well done guys, bravo. So hard to make it so simple.
