here's another reason http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/middle_east/arti...

you can get four years for 0.05 of a g of cannabis

might work at the top or something in addition to breaking stuff down by category - would help you stand out a bit make it less boring if you've scanned 50 cvs that day already...

It's a shame no-ones blogged it this time like auctomatic crew, draftmix did

I'm glad i dont have to work for people like that boss - scary stuff

reality is that iphone is a tiny tiny proportion of all mobile handsets - there's a much bigger market out there called the mobile internet

Yeah just develop mobile internet sites - forget the java apps for now

yeah but they are using blogs so virtually all the on page SEO is done automatically (title tag, H1 tag, URL etc) if they are creating good content they'll get links - hey presto

yeah http://www.backlinkwatch.com/index.php is a good way of checking out how your competitors build their rankings

the best advice from shoeomoney was not to worry too much about the indepth SEO stuff - 99% of SEO is keyword research, inbound links, title tag, H1 tag, URL ... the rest doesnt really matter if you are building a valuable service rather than trying to spam google in ultra-competitive keyword areas (travel, finance, electronics etc)

the AI thing is really good linkbait im amazed so few people spot it for what it is

love the design - great to see the standard menu of web 2.0 stuff (photo sharing) start to get a new twist

as people have pointed out the distributed approach could be v. powerful

big ups

girlfriend came up with it based on certain requirements (had to begin with "m" and be short)

tip - dont bother building an iphone app - the installed base is tiny - you'd be better off targeting the wider mobile market ?

gotta love Venture Voice

been a fan of shoemoney for a while - interesting to see the kind of traffic his blog is driving

Learn about SEO

these kinds of mega deals very rarely work out ...

if you're a jobless bum in the third world chances are you starve - you might not have a job but you'll be doing something to survive

Do yoga and pilates and stretching exercises every day

i would try doing it on the side for a while and then quit when you physically cant manage doing both any more. You could use your wages to pay for outsources to help you build a first release e.g. designers, logo etc. In my view we all waste 50% of our day being unproductive so you might as well get paid for that bit. Also it takes a long time for a site to start ranking in search engines etc and getting traffic so that's another reason to build something slowly first.

the economy is a complex system and is affected by things like positive feedback, phase shifts, emergence etc so its not that predictable

i really need this my work outlook is a nightmare - no address book, 3000 emails in the inbox... no folders

yeah venturevoice rocks

some of the webmaster radio shows are good - Net Income, SEO Rockstars

interesting stuff - SMO, SEO is so interesting - would like to see more posts on this on YC.

the key thing for them is breaking out of the early-adopter niche into the mainstream (scaling audience) not the business model

he got divorced and left Yahoo to do a mobile startup - Mowser - its a great service. one of the best mobile developers in the US...

its a great bit of kit but too expensive, especially as they'll be better versions in 6 months

I'll keep my Sony Ericsson

In East London, bootstrapping a social mobile music thing :-)

great link bait

from what i hear your own shortcode doesnt matter as people generally dont remember them anyway they just read them online/ on paper and text them
