moral hazard

Is declaring "Facebook bankruptcy" cool? I thought JB knew about this stuff?

Dalton, why can't I upload and play music or view photos from app.net? I am confused

That's a pretty interesting management experiment.

By the way, have you seen vhx.tv?

I am sure they will have FB social features soon enough. Do keep in mind that Last.fm has their own valuable friend graph (even if you may not have a ton of friends on it) that is meaningfully different from the FB graph

Whatttt, my mind is blown

Anonymity of Chatroulette is key. This is weak.

I think the author may also like a faster horse

People really hate change.

I am sure t61 team will fix the smaller issues around the design, but I think the new UI is likely here to stay.

Agreed, but careful. The tech guy has to rock at tech! :)

Feel free to email me too, anthony at hypem.com

PS. I run the Hype Machine (http://hypem.com) a well-regarded music site that keeps track of music on blogs. Would love to know what you think about it.

Why necessarily a programmer who understands music? Sure you want someone who loves it, but it sounds like you'll be bringing lots of the product/industry expertise in this case,so you two can complement each other.

I think if you looked around in NYC, you'd likely find some of these people too. NY is somewhat better for music+tech than SF, though SF is lovely as always.

Hah, this is so old!

I remember finding this article back when I was researching music blogs before starting the Hype Machine (http://hypem.com) in 2005.

Awesome!

I'd also make sure that you honestly ask yourself the following question, when it comes to this relocation / radical burn rate reduction issue:

Can I somehow make more money with what I (we) am about to create and stay where I am (or US)?

Sure these places have cheap rent, but you also leave all your social ties behind and will be limited to a particular subset of the social fabric (expats, most likely, that either teach English or are avoiding something important by coming there). It's also distracting by being elsewhere, though often in a good way.

They are pretty unclear about how this is better than the Maxmind free DB they've based it on.

That one comes in a small binary file that allows to avoid even using a SQL DB for the lookups (faster for some people + easier to manage)

This is the most arrogant thing I've recently read (though maybe, he is laughing really hard now as many people have bit the bait). Seriously, wow.

What is someone's incentive to publicly post a biz plan+idea in a blog comment over there? Apparently, a tiny amount of money and likely no other help from Mark, wow.

More invites? :)
