Looks like a really useful service. I run The Startup Foundry and would love to chat with you. Fill out this info and we will be in touch http://thestartupfoundry.com/tip-us/. Keep up the great work, I think it has real potential.

I don't make either assumption. I've staked quite a bit of my lively hood on building apps for Apple products. I wouldn't do this if I thought they were stupid or blind. I just don't buy the "Post-PC" device story they are telling with the iPad quite yet.

This is true, but I think a "post-pc" device should be able to stand on it's own two legs.

Thanks for pointing this out, I meant to include it in my article.

This app is fantastic! Can you share some of the backstory with us?

You have a really great scrappy startup story. Keep up the good work.

That's a bummer (and not true). These guys deserve a ton of attention. It was presented at Launch and SuperConf so maybe they're getting some false positive from people that were there?

I'm not sure. Perhaps an HN admin thinks it's spam?

And they are actually making money on a scalable business.

They have a fantastic product. I was extremely impressed with how well it worked. To top it off, Matt seemed like a really great guy when I interviewed him.

I'm not really sure what you're talking about… Did the video not play for you?

Yes, he did a fantastic job. Here's a link to the Disqus blog where Chris talks about @font-face http://blog.disqus.com/post/2944356158/introducing-houdini-t...

Armine Saidi did an awesome job presenting this at Superconf. There was a live feed, but I'm not sure if they will repost the event. If they do check it out. He was the first presenter.

Paul Hontz here (aka g0atbutt), founder of the startup foundry. The short answer is I don't know...yet. I believe TSF will turn into a profitable business (and based on the investment offers I've received, other people do to). I want TSF to ooze value from every article,video, and pic. After that's taken care of, I believe the perfect revenue model will present itself. Until then we will keep pushing forward.

No dice on the first one, so I tried your second method and had success. Thanks for the tip!

Does anyone have contact information for Jason? I'd love to get a hold of him.

Really great tips from Andrew. Andrew’s three key points in giving an interview: 1. Practice – The old adage “Practice makes perfect” is true. Especially on film. 2. Shut up – Don’t trust a producer or editor to cut something stupid that you said. 3. Tell a Story – People remember stories.

We're in process of pushing it live on TSF now. It has been great to work with in the past.

I'll be there representing http://thestartupfoundry.com so drop me an email at paul@codesketch.com if you're startup is going to be there!

Andrew Warner from http://mixergy.com will be there too! Don't miss it!

I think Robbie does a great job acknowledging that you can make it in other cities, while pointing out that there is something special about the valley.

Thanks Justin Timberlake!

Email me again (Paul@codesketch.com). It's nothing personal, we just get A LOT of email. We are looking at ways to improve response time. Sorry about that.

And I never will! Thanks for the support.

I added Posterous, thanks for the tip!

They also seem to have spam under control (Unlike Mechanical Turk).

Thanks for the feedback mayank. I'll get this fixed.

Actually this post was written by Robbie Abed, one of our new writers.

Absolutely. Twitter helps to cultivate relationships, but meeting people in real life is where it's at. Twitter is a great tool to make that happen.

The biggest strength of Forrst is their community. I was really impressed with the skill of the members as well as constructive criticism they shared. They certainly embody the "Iron sharpens iron" mentality.

That's an interesting app. I've heard good things about it but I've never used it myself. How often do you use it?

Hi retube,

I tried to just present the facts in my article, and then give my take in the closing paragraph. I truly believe it's a great tool so perhaps that's what you're picking up. If you have any suggestions to improve my writing style I would be happy for you to share your thoughts with me.

All the best, Paul
