My advice from little experience is to split shares equally three ways rather than based on number of hours. The startup should be everyones primary focus regardless of hours logged. If your business …

"they don't seem to have much of a plan" Considering Evan William's success with Blogger and Jack Dorsey's early success with Square I think it would be disingenuous to think that they don't have plan…

I worked on a startup in this space for about 6 months last year which might explain if my answer is a little cynical. It's great that you've been able to build a business providing web services for N…

Dude, this is one of the coolest job postings I've seen on HN for a while. Not so much what the job involves (which is pretty cool in itself) but that you're reaching out to the HN community to hopefu…

I do this fairly regularly but I'm always surprised by what I get out of it - and it does run both ways. It's such a simple thing to do and at the very least will give you something to take pause on o…

Wordpress.com have a pretty good Terms of Use policy which they've licensed under a Creative Commons share-alike license. I personally think this is the best starting point :) http://en.wordpress.com…

I've been using xPAD for a while. It's simple but very useful. My housemate swears by Evernote but I'm not convinced yet.

In many ways this would be similar to how Foursquare rolled out. Perhaps you can identify scouts in particular cities who have expressed their delight in your service or create a signup page for peopl…

I really like this idea. What if site like the Wall Street Journal adopted it instead of their current paywalls? You had to "flattr" to access the content but the price you are paying is then determin…

In Australia a "divvy van" is slang for a police car with a cage in the back for transporting prisoners. It didn't come to mind when I thought of Divvyshot until this thread :)

this made me laugh when I saw the headline. Very shrewd move by Andrew Warner, well done.

The quality and quantity of feedback on this essay is a good signifier of a great HN community.

It's a little frustrating seeing a full page of iPad posts but when I looked a little closer I could see that they're all (mostly) looking at different things. I was keen to know more about why it did…

I'm sure if they really wanted it Apple could make a massive donation to cancer research in return for the domain. That would be a win/win. That said I don't think it's really all that important. That…

Running one site is hard enough, you would lose a lot of focus running two.

A music-making friend of mine pointed me to the site about 6 months ago. I checked it out but not really being into his music didn't really see how this site was any better or more interesting than My…

It certainly is "feature-packed". Good luck to them, very tough space.

Who are the competitors in this space?

I'm looking for a Python / Django tutor at the moment and would love a system where I can choose and change the types of tutelage as I go along. A $/hour scale is going to be the easiest way for me to…

We use Campaign Monitor as well and never had a problem. They're Australian too!

This is the kicker - when he registered them all he didn't think to install any analytics software. He has done it now just in case but it's not much help.

Cool, good advice. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply! I'm actually asking this for a friend of mine. The domain is already attracting a good amount of traffic for a fairly popular application. He's already registered a bunch of doma…
