No talk of Boston and just a mention of New York?

It does not make much sense to compair technology/startup cities and totally leave out the East Coast.

Ok, so the kids are not programming but they are getting started with both development and business at a very young age and that's great. Getting even just a few years of a lead over the other kids their age really helps in the long run.

Keep in mind that in Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell (http://goo.gl/VC2FC) it shows that just getting a head start makes a huge difference.

Has anyone been able to get this working with a web server running cPanel?

Totally to my surprise to see this comment... ratemystartup.com is actually my site.

I can speak first hand to this issue... A massive number of submissions to ratemystartup are spam. I evaluate each of these submissions by hand and it's not always easy to do.

On ratemystartup users have editorialized content. On HN I would suggest that link posts are only permitted to users with X amount of karma. I am personally more of a HN reader than a contributor but I would gladly sacrifice the ability to post links (unless the karma threshold is reached) in exchange for maintaining a great HN reading experience.

Great, thanks for the feedback.

Thanks a lot for the feedback. I've just tried some different settings for the lower bounds of what will appear. As of now it seems like settings a minimum number of at least 3 votes makes the Top Rated list looks much better.

What do you think of this?

Use the bottom link. The top link is pointing to iWork 09

Feel free to send over any comments or suggestions of more podcasts to add.

I would like to get an inclusive list going for the community.

I would consider it the current #1 podcast for tech entrepreneurs.

I totally agree with that. Most of the link request emails are quickly put together and unthoughtful.

The people who write honest emails to me about how we can both provide value to each other do not happen very often but when they do I always listen. If fact if someone has a good resource that would provide value to my users I am happy to link to it. It's great to discover a "diamond in the rough" before my competitors to.

I am not advocating link spam here. I am saying that users should do their research and find sites that an inbound would prove value to both parties.

Pete,

Thanks a lot for that link. seomoz.org is a great resource for SEO research.

I am going to update that post to include this.

I hope that this article will be a good starting place for anyone learning how to get their page ranked in Google... Sort of a crash course in SEO.

Anything that you think I've left out or would like to see updated?

Honestly thank you so much for that information. That's the first and the last time you'll see content such as that from me posted to HN.

Stay in touch and best regards.

Sorry about that pmichaud, I honestly intended to pass on a interview that I thought would be useful to the readers of my blog. I did not intend to offend you or anyone else by posting this.
