  • We have invites for the Put.io cloud storage game changer about 8 hours ago
    • The service has created a lot of buzz, because it’s able to keep redundant copies of your files which you can access from anywhere with a browser, including files for the iPhone and PS3. These can be fetched automatically from bittorrent networks, FTPs, direct download links, Rapidshare links or basic http authenticated links. And you can stream your downloaded files instantly with an appropriate player. For example, Divx Web Player for DivX files. Cleary it has the potential to create something of a media storm. As one commenter on our last post put it “will probably make the RIAA and MPAA pop a blood vessel.” Yes, some may well use this to stream torrented movies. But of course, it’s perfectly possible to use the service for entirely legitimate means like storing videos of your family events. Welcome to the Internet. Imageshack (a US company) downloads torrents without apparent legal problems.

  • [OpenID] Flickr / Yahoo OpenID implementation about 9 hours ago
    • An alternative approach (and probably better) would be to use Attribute
      Exchange to share the Flickr Photos URL with the RP, and to keep the
      default Yahoo OpenID identifier. There's even a Flickr URL attribute
      defined in the official AX schema:

    • If you are currently using the Simple Registration Extension
      with OpenID, you can use these properties to migrate to
      Attribute Exchange without having to store different user data.

  • Why you should build an application (even if it already exists) about 24 hours ago
    • Well done post. You could find a reason not to do anything. Google? Check out the search engines that already exist and own the space. Apple? No one wants a computer for personal use. Dropbox? File storage has been done and no margins. Twitter? 140 characters is worthless. Vizio? Enough TVs exist. YCombinator? WTF are you going to do with $15k.
      I could go on and on and on. Seriously, just fucking build it. If for some odd reason NOTHING at all exists like what you're doing, a competitor will come along that does. There is nothing and I mean nothing that a smart team of 20 somethings can't build nowadays. At worst, you'll have something that you, yourself love. That's the key to all of this: Build something YOU want, then adapt it so it works for a broader range of people if need be. If the tshirt for getting accepted to ycombinator is: build something people want and the tshirt for getting acquired is: i built something people want, the tshirt for getting asked to interview/demo should be: i built something I wanted.
  • How to Write Clearly, Think Clearly, and Learn Easily about 24 hours ago
  • Hacker News | Ask HN: How did you market your app when there were already a lot like yours? on 2009-12-02

    • Google this phrase or buy the book:

      http://www.amazon.com/Differentiate-Die-Survival-Killer-Comp...

      My favorite passage:

      "The best way to really enter minds that hate complexity and confusion is to oversimplify your message. The lesson here is not to try to tell your entire story. Just focus on one powerful differentiating idea and drive it into the mind. That sudden hunch, that creative leap of the mind that "sees" in a flash how to solve a problem in a simple way, is something quite different from general intelligence. If there's any trick to finding that simple set of words, it's one of being ruthless about how you edit the story you want to tell. Anything that others could claim just as well as you can, eliminate. Anything that requires a complex analysis to prove, forget. Anything that doesn't fit with your customers' perceptions, avoid."

      with particular emphasis on:

      Just focus on one powerful differentiating idea and drive it into the mind.

      Why should anyone choose you?

    • Differentiation is good and all, but the #1 thing I've read that helped grow a business is being there for your customers when they need you most. Answer emails ASAP, fix your product ASAP, offer discounts, extended trial time, everything you can to make your customers super-happy.

  • 分析师报告称谷歌将主导美国移动搜索领域_互联网_科技时代_新浪网 on 2009-12-02

    • 　　在本次调查中，共有69%的受访者表示，智能手机使之进行了更多搜索，但只有58%的用户表示，智能手机使之观看了更多的网页。这表明，在移动领域，搜索广告比显示广告拥有更大的机会。这也表明智能手机对网络搜索的影响要大于网络浏览。



      　　除此之外，更短的浏览时间和格式限制等因素也使得手机显示广告点进率(click-through rate)低于桌面显示广告，对手机显示广告的增长形成压力。
