While that may be true the comment refers to current perceptions rather than etymology.

We should also stop using the word hacker because most people think it's someone who lives by stealing or breaking into peoples computers; a thief, a criminal etc. </probably unneccessary sarcasm&…

I've posted this before but this is where I use my reference for a hustler. http://joeyroth.com/charlatan-martyr-hustler/ It's all semantics at the end of the day but I personally embrace the word h…

Incredibly specific use case. Population of Geelong = 300,000. Percentage of population who are Drupal developers = xx%. Total Linkedin users worldwide = 11 million.

Keeping listings up to date is one of the issues they need to fix but I don't think it's impossible. I think it's a teething problem rather than a problem with the system. I had a similar experience m…

I was just thinking about this tonight (we've done some marketing work with an airline). Rather than having to wait 12 months to gain access to the lounge for instance you could gain access to it insi…

Advertising sales is really hard. You can create a marketplace and get connected to a bunch of newsletter publishers but then you need to convince a whole heap of people to give you money. Publishers …

How do you work out what people want? Then how to you change to make sure that your product is targeting the wants of the largest addressable market?

I hadn't seen it before, found it interesting and have also been here for a while.

I'm seeing a lot of negativity around this launch from people asking the question "how is this different from x, y and z". My personal opinion is that you don't need to be that different in terms of f…

Website design and development, sales staff to get the deals to populate the site, customer support staff to keep customers on side, system administrators, a marketing person or team, advertising, PR,…

A friend just pointed me to this somewhat related project: http://www.lazertits.com/

This is awesome. Also added it to my Facebook + Twitter profile. Would be great to have nice some kind of easy file sharing.

Features Adioso's (YC W09) recent Valentine's Day promo under "Startups that Rock at Inbound Marketing"

There are destinations all over the world though Adioso is still adding airlines, particularly in Canada, South America and Africa.

So true. I have this print framed above my desk at work: http://joeyroth.com/charlatan-martyr-hustler/

I'm super interested in this product (can't wait to use it) but I wonder if this is too commonly available if it will reduce the overall effectiveness.

The landing page (which looks awful) is maxdandy.com. Shoot me an email off list and I'll shoot you what we've built to date - looks very similar to what you guys have done though my CSS is a little s…

I was actually in the process of building something like this though for myself rather than as a service. Have shot out the link, looking forward to setting it up in the lead up to our launch.

Goddamn this looks good. I've just finished a project that required us to do an audit of 20 social media dashboard tools and in 30 seconds these guys have made me want to go back to the client and sho…

I would also suggest that "liking" isn't a feature necessary to call something a social network. ie Myspace, Twitter (favourites perhaps?), Linkedin etc

And they'll help you do cool things like changing your vanity URL or setting up an account so you can pay via invoice instead of credit card.

There are a whole heap of competitors in this space. I would say the way to get ahead is via a direct sales force.

I think execution on this is really great, even if the copy needs work. I worked on vaguely similar concept about 12 months ago and it is definitely an interesting space. Our angle was to try to remov…

Same for me in Sydney. I like to think if they can solve this problem they'll triple their growth rate.

Forget about the Google element. Forget about the technology element. It's an example of someone who was relentlessly resourceful. If he wasn't in the Bay Area he would have found an incredible opport…

The pirates get around in basic dinghy's with fairly basic weapons. They're not that sophisticated in their attacks or their defenses (at least not yet).
