1) My apologies

2) I've done some simple SEO, social network marketing, PPC and blogging in the past. Will to do whatever is needed. If you don't trust me to do more advanced tasks we can build up to it.

3) For some reason GoDaddy stopped pointing to my tumblr blog, waiting for the records to update. Thank you for pointing this out I'll go and change my profile

People would apply for an RFS showcasing why they are qualified for that particular idea, their previous experience, working habits (to ensure team members get along) etc.

The community could then put it to all poll.

The other option is to simply have a database showcasing every interested applicant along with contact info. Then it would be up to them to find a team that works well together.

I think most people tend to hire other people with similar characteristics as them. So a person who went to an top 10 school is likely to look for that on a resume, just as an entrepreneur will look positively on a candidate with an entrepreneurship spirit

I'm just looking to create the system and then simulate running it. Have you had any expereince in doing this type of thing?

Thanks

Looks great! Is there going to be a public database of all job postings?

I thought I had been suddenly given the ability to change the menu bar colour... :(

Does it work with SaaS model?

My main one is to have my first web app launch

Hence why I said "at some level"

I agree that trend analysis has a lot smaller foundation for the long term, but in the short run its essentially analyzing the supply and demand of the stock, which can be predicted (not all of the time of course).

Outside factors like news don't occur everyday, so the using technical analysis for intraday trading is very reasonable

What is investing if its not a IF/THEN statement?

If price goes up then sell, if price goes down then buy. If the company meets these financial criteria then buy, if not then sell. If the price approaches a resistance level then sell.

Whether your basing the investment decisions on fundamental or technical analysis, either way its an IF/THEN statement at some level.

I'm actually working on a startup in this space. Nice to see some HN people share a similar interest

if you go to fast and then refresh it makes you start over at 5

My blog is at http://www.peterharrington.info mostly marketing, tech and entrepreneur stuff

Yea I don't know what I would do without crunchbase

Make sure you don't qualify as a pattern day trader (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattern_day_trader)

Unless you are looking for education services or becoming a day trade, any discount broker will do. As with most things the more you pay the more you get, ie. thinkorswim isn't the cheapest but they focus on education

Crunchbase.com very very helpful

Are you looking to publish the data? Or just use it for personal use?

What hedge funds are hiring? I would love an internship with one

No problem, the more the merrier

trade2win.com/ is a good forum for technical analysis

thinkorswim is a brokerage. I suggest investopedia.com/ and books. Figure out what style of investing you want to try: value, technical etc. Then go buy a book on the subject.

Other people have told me that they learned a lot of investing info from just blogs and books

How has techcrunch not picked up this story yet?

I really liked Prosper, I thought they were doing a very good job of executing their idea. It will be very interesting to see where this goes

I believe travelfli.com/ is going to be doing a similar thing, so make sure you market a lot to get the market share

I'm looking for a marketing or business related internship with a tech startup for the summer. Check my profile for my blog and contact info

Thanks

Yea the real idea is to help people find hidden gems and from there find similar gems. The music scene is already pretty crazy though with last.fm and pandora and the millions of other sites trying to help people discover new music
