I'm not sure why you'd treat your own product any different from how you treat freelance work?

What if the freelance client was someone building an MVP? :)

Depends on the context. We have weekly resource planning meetings, where everyone is a resource, the designers, developers, project managers, etc. We make sure each project we are working on has the required resources working on it.

As long as you're not singling out the programmers as a resource I dont see the problem.

I launched a small side project Follow Trial (http://www.followtrial.com) as a way to manage my following list on Twitter.

Closing in on 150 users (free) in just over a week.

The system follows you so that it can DM you when the trial expires, otherwise it would need to ask you your email address since the Twitter API doesn't include that.

As for any mobile tweets you're getting that has nothing to do with FollowTrial.

Not in the MVP release, but that's a great feature to include in the next version!

Love Dribbble for stuff like this: http://dribbble.com/search?q=admin&x=0&y=0

I work from home, so I usually head to the kitchen and eat with my family.

After registering thehobbitmovies.com I received a not too friendly letter from the Tolkien estate instructing me to hand over the domain.

I declined their request and may put a site up at some point. For now it is a reminder that it is easy for people to tell you do something they do not have a right to tell you.

I know it's back of the napkin accounting, but lets not forget all the other operational costs?

- Credit card processing on all transactions (3%?) - Office space for 4000 employees - Taxes - etc

Would take another huge chunk out of that 80mm

Frankly, I for one and probably many other people still don't care about it, or about Crush Notifier.

I have a design link sites, that I moved over to HN look/feel recently: http://www.uberlook.com

i understand that's how ads are sold, but it does doesn't work.

the numbers are inaccurate, varying wildly depending on how you measure it (web server logs, analytics, etc), and its a horrible way for advertiser to measure ROI.

I wish people would stop worrying about page views, its a broken metric, always has been.

This really depends on your target audience and your marketing strategy (if you have one).

The techie audience should have problem remember a non .com, and be comfortable accessing it, other may not.

If you're planning on doing non-online advertising then its more important to have a .com, as people will have to remember the url and type it in at a later date. If you plan on doing stuff online then people click on stuff and it becomes less important.

Nice list, hated they way they were shown.

I tend to be most productive around 11pm, till I fall asleep.

Email sent, best of luck with the site

If you're looking for places to share your work and get feedback, then http://dribbble.com and http://forrst.com are your best bet, although both are currently invite only.

If you're looking for more of a link dump type thing, then http://www.designfloat.com and http://www.uberlook.com (my site) might have what you need.

You can currently add 1 image to a project, but allowing more images/video is right at the top of todo list.

I thought about using LinkedIn, was afraid to rely on LinkedIn for such a huge part of business, but I may rethink this now.

Thanks Karl, the feedback is much appreciated. I'll get cracking as you've made some great suggestions.

There are so many more people involved than just building the site, so one of my goals was to produce a system that would allow everyone involved to get listed

You can currently add 1 screenshot of the project, but I'm working on making that easier (and clearer) to do, and allowing more images.

I'd be interested in having access to the Wine database, not necessarily the actual reviews -- although that might be nice too.

Thanks for clarifying your point.

I see what you're saying the tone of site, but I hope the readers are able to distinguish what the site is trying to do and the personality of the solo-entrepreneurs that are featured.

And in the worst case, the picture will be replaced in a little while with another one! :)
