HN Talks, Startuply Listens (or at least tries to)

I used a laptop with 1024x768 as my primary computer until last year. Those that use the EEE PC or iPhone/iPod touch have an even smaller screen. When you're a startup, you don't have the luxury of picking and choosing who can use your service, at least initially, so it's always good practice to make the experience as functional and consistent across different platforms as possible.

I run a 3200x1200 desktop -- but depending on what I have open, my browser is regularly less than 800px wide. It's actually way more common now than when I ran at 1024x768; I don't have to maximize everything just to have a little working area.

1024x768 is not uncommon on laptops.

1024x768 is around 14% of our users.
