colemaniac

that's a good point -- we'll try to improve there!

that's a really good idea! who would we talk to about providing that kind of service to HN?

it's a nonsensical word actually derived from one of the founders' last name -- coleman. switching syllables it's man-cole which become "menkle" over time

you're probably right -- i was hoping the phrase would attract some readers. not sure if it helped or not :)

thanks for the specific illustrations! this is a big help!

great suggestion for overcoming the javascript issue! thanks!

you're right -- you should be able to view more than one neighborhood at the same time

Thanks for the feedback! We're hoping we can improve our chances of success by listening closely to what our users are asking for.

I agree (as do others) that the search needs to be improved. We'll work on that. And you're right we need to lower the barriers to entry (ie. login/register).

Thanks for the feedback!

I appreciate the candid feedback. Your suggestions are excellent!

i agree you should be able to contact a seller without signing up. we'll take a look at that! thanks for the feedback!

i agree with you here..the sign in /register is a pain in the ass.

thanks for pointing out the issue with the search. we knew it was primitive but not broken.

Rob, thanks for the great feedback! you're right about google checkout...if there is a way to integrate i think it would make selling at a distance much easier.

your other thoughts are excellent as well. we should discuss more offline

this is great feedback! you're right we probably need to cut down on graphics and whitespace to provide more data

that's a great point -- start specific then branch out. i agree it would be helpful to know more about the sellers.

i especially like the idea of RSS feeds or even a search that will notify you when the item you're looking for is listed (i think ebay may have something similar?)

that's an excellent point. we hadn't thought about making the urls more search engine friendly. thanks!

thanks for your feedback. my goal was merely to show the progression of an idea over time, but you are absolutely right -- the post could have used more explanation about why the evolution occurred. i'll keep this in mind for future posts.

check out the screenshots in this post. any thoughts, comments?
