danebaker··on Why is there no Facebook for programmers & hackers?
Github is a glorified repository. Sorry, but any "social network" that requires code pushes isn't intended for that. :)

I think you can remove the word "else" from the last sentence. ;o
danebaker··on It’s official: Path closes $30M funding round
This works out to $7.50 per Path user. ...yyyyyeah.

I don't see the need for that either; I'm referring to sharing things in a more visual way (Pinterest), making new code available (Github), adding friends and likeminded folks (Facebook), discussing topics in groups (LinkedIn).
danebaker··on Google Drive detailed: 5 GB of free space, launching next week
This is biting Dropbox in the arse in more ways than one: Dropbox has had years to improve their service, add a huge amount of features, and take this concept to new heights. What have they done? Redesigned their Web site? Gee.

Absolutely agree! This is good news IMO - Google has far more storage redundancy than Dropbox does, that's for sure. In a pinch, who do you trust to make sure your data isn't kaput? The answer is obvious.

>Google will assign a real person to talk to if you have more than ~30M views / month or something.

...or if you pay for their paid services (Google Apps).

danebaker··on Ask HN: Rejected from YC? Who are you?
Any mobile app developers get rejected? I'm involved with a new VC co standing up a soon-to-launch fund called WeHeartApps Fund that is focusing on early-stage mobile app/game developers. Feel free to email me at dane@villainhq.com (still getting our @glidecapital email set up).
danebaker··on My mission to solve the problem with Facebook, Google+ etc.
No offense but your product seems like a Tumblr clone. Not much to do with social networking at all, it appears.
