PHPAdam··on Online video sceptic Mark Cuban invests in web video company Revision3
Where as Digg, Diggnation and Revision 3 founder Kevin Rose. Is not using Rev3 for his new podcast Foundation or his other new show "The Random Show".

The reason Kevin says for charging for Foundation is "I'm spending money on equipment, and editing"..

It all sounds silly to me, and shows just keep disappearing.

PHPAdam··on Google algorithm change launched
I run an letting agency (estate agency) I put the property's on my low ranking website. The content is not scraped, but re-published to several property portals, some big names.

Who'm gets penalised? The higher ranking, more frequently indexed property portals or my local website.

PHPAdam··on Owning Payment.ly
Buying domains supports terrorism, so does paying Tax's http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_and_state_terrori...

If it was such a wide spread problem, an issue to fight for, the US government disallow any payments to Libya from US banks.

Competing with Paypal, Google Checkout and the rest would be difficult without major funding. You need to find a USP such as https://squareup.com or http://flattr.com/

If a USP to compete with the likes does not come to mind, then find a niche business activity that makes payments. Then design it around their and their customers requirements, I have a similar project on the drawing board.

PHPAdam··on Lifting the Skirt (On NDAs)
NDA's are a necessary evil, though those holding them have to be aware they need so share the basics.

NDA or Not, ideas can be stolen. Just don't show all your cards.

PHPAdam··on Blekko is alive
Its based on ShashTags and has API. I can not find how to add/edit my SlashTag via an API. Since I run a directory that would really help them, its a bit of a pain.

I do like the search though.

PHPAdam··on Find Co-Founders, Don't Get Screwed
As a developer id rather give up 3 percent of equity, of something worth nothing at the time, than pay $9.99 per month. Key to any start-up without investors is to keep regular costs down.

foundrs.com is not the end all of incorporation, it seems to have nothing for "assets". Who owns the code? Author or Company. Who owns the domain? Registrar or Company?

PHPAdam··on Why I downvote "tl;dr" comments on Hacker News
never posted tl;dr or knew what it stood for. If its posted though, it may not add to discussion but should educate the OP to post shorter, why you shouldn't downvote it.
