This may be more interesting if it were split into startups that make money vs startups that don't / have funding or don't have funding.

It really bothers me that API isn't capitalized in "Api Documentation" :)

The two most painful patterns over the course of Platforms early life were:

1. The lack of timely bug fixes and the lack of internal Facebook developer contact with external developers. The only consistent employee at Facebook in the IRC channel was Joel Seligstein. I also actually directly heard one of the Platform PMs say that she thought "triage" meant high priority. They did hold events but that was more a social gathering than anything.

2. The ridiculous lack of spam control and enforcement of policies on the large developers. It's easy to see why people started disliking apps looking back at how much time users had to spend sifting through spam notifications!

Code. Think (on the toilet). Code.

Also, people like to store water in the fridge, so it doesn't seem totally ridiculous to clean it and make it taste better before storing it.

Email him! He developed the filtration for many major coffee chains (i.e. Starbucks) and has worked in the industry forever. I promise you he isn't a gimmick, and a regular consumer wouldn't understand the same things you would understand.

It's smaller than in the video. We had to use an early prototype there to have the video ready in time. It's designed to fit nicely even in small hands. You do not have to remove the filter to pour, there is a spout that is hidden but runs up the side. I'll make sure we get some pictures of the pitcher from angles that you can see the spout / lid.

Also it's big enough to hold five eight-ounce glasses.

This also includes the value of the pitcher! The filters come to you for $15 every two months

It's going to be $15 every two months

We spent a lot of time figuring out the problems with current in home water drinking. One of the main things was that people forget to change their filter. We're looking to change that behavior!

it's a html5 mobile hackathon... worried about the demo mostly

It all depends if i plan on using it or not. If i don't plan on using it, sometimes I'll just give them away for under $100. If I do then there is a price almost always under $1000.

I do have one exception, and that is I bought sms.me which I had planned on building, but I got a good offer so that sold for many thousands, but that was their offer not mine.

On the flip side, I've bought many domains that I want to use for products ranging from $100 - $30,000 depending on a number of factors.

Very true. I have 40 or so domains, but none were purchased as an investment. All because of some random idea I had. Always happy to sell them for totally reasonable prices.

it's one thing to buy good domains, but this guys main motivation is "greed" and he literally doesn't care about how anything he is doing affects anyone or anything. Makes me sick.

Those vertical lines in the header are dizzying

haha sweet, i figured. was just being an ass.

björk and mike patton are clearly outliers

did you a/b test that default styled sign up button?

no infinite scroll! hard to make this view look good with things other than photos, but looks pretty good

mark zuckerberg signed in and liked it with no preview, why wouldn't you?

i hope he is both parties, that would be pretty epic

doomsday

ah, sorry.. i didn't realize it was only devs that had access to the bug site

Kinda crazy how many sites rely on the Facebook JS SDK for login and other stuff. Definitely still ways to access the API, but if you don't have good fallbacks, you're screwed.

yes, pinterest combined with timeline

pretty cool, i'll probably do some ajaxy page transitions at some point.. just hacked this together. Friendsheet is all html / JS.. hosted 100% on S3

right left arrows... and soon swipe on ipad

I'll definitely add a tutorial / help section for ya

thanks! definitely inspired by fb, but with some streamlined tweaks.

I don't think facebook policy directly states that, it's more about not misleading users into thinking something is made by facebook. And definitely anything that circumvents ads is against policy.
