Hey, that might be clear to you but for 99% of the people checking out those profiles it might take a while for that to sink in.

Well, imagine going to your fathers profile page and seeing a photo of him with shit on his dick. After YOU persuaded him that being on Facebook would be fun. Maybe not so funny after all...

guilty as charged...

Yes, good point. And I wonder how it would look with other music.

Did you hear about Dutch insurance companies warning people not to post to Twitter and social networks that they are going on a vacation? Burglars are online too apparently... :-)

Flag you and your family!

You mean "the end of thinking out loud?"

well, yes and no. They aren't writing it but inviting (urging?) other developers to come up with one. That kind of surprised me...

Lower on the drama? People get killed in that story, with the reporter present! I remember that story very well. Made an impression on me. more exciting than DNS flaws...

Dupe: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=352258

Don't think it is and it would be a major PR fiasco if that turned out to be true...

The original title is not "Don't take investment" but just "The Era of the Entrepreneur". What I tried to point out is that this era marks great opportunities for entrepreneurs but that bloggers and VCs make it seem as a terrible time. Hope that was clear...

Regarding the "FAIL" critism: FAIL is not just a word but a meme used on the web to describe something that went wrong. History of the Fail Meme: http://www.redorbit.com/news/technology/1306942/memes_help_k...

About the Submit criticism: I also submit stories from other blogs and not every blog from TheNextWeb.org. Only stuff I think works for the Hacker News Community. But I will be more critical before I post links to our own blogs from now on.

Thanks..

Good point. I only wish religious people were as open minded as you are... :-)

Who cares about names? As long as you can copy/paste them they work, right?

I all for it...

Yeah, but it does give you a sense of what it will look like so it is better than nothing...

✌

Incredible! Hope they show it online soon. Would become an instant hit...

Hmm no, what kind of browser do you use? Send me a screenshot, if possible, at boris@bomega.com

Looks like they are finding out. TwitterMail added a lot of new users in the last few hours: http://twittermail.com/

Yeah, but don't they already do that?

I have always wondered if that would work for spam too. What if we would set-up a bunch of servers to follow all links (times 10) in all spam messages. Even better, make it a plug-in for Outlook & Mail. Then, if a spammer would send out 100.000 messages he would immediately receive 1 million hits. No problem if you are authentically sending a few emails but a huge problem if you are sending out millions of mails.

If would be an active spam fighting solution instead of all the 'turn the other cheek' solutions that are popular right now...

I prefer Illustrator for sketching because it is easier to drag certain elements straight to Photoshop once you are done. But I will give this a try anyway...

Can imageine a few (NSFW) 4 character words that would do well... ;-)

Trying my start-up now. Does take a lot of time to fill out everything...

As you can see in the video they add 1000 times the same feedurl. there is no reason to allow this so it would be extremely easy to fix for Netvibes.

On Techcrunch too: http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/08/04/all-it-takes-to-inflate...

Or boost your own numbers to get more followers. More followers leads to more followers, which leads to anger, which leads to hate which leads to suffering...

Incredible! Wonder how long it will take before feedburner fixes this...
