http://www.peer5.com is right on this trend.

Could bring a lot of value around file sharing, streaming and such. Plug-in-less.

The demo page get to pitch in a couple of seconds.

Have a look at it.

Catchy titles but inspiring list of startup works. Good luck guys.

Non coder speaking. I have tried the plug in "answers" from wpmu. Org running on wordpress. Ok, nothing sexy. Themesforest also has plug in for sale. My 2 cents

Good question. Warm welcome. Great community.

landing page for SEO and first beta users DB ?

Wordpress & wufoo ? Wordpress and MailChimp ?

All helpful tools. However how do we use them to test/validate idea?

Which plateform and theme would HN members recommend for creating a Hackernews like on a nice subject ?

Pligg ? http://www.pligg.com

Anymore suggestions ?

Arc: http://arclanguage.org/install

This. Or the Reddit source: https://github.com/reddit/

Not a platform, but you can create your own channel on this blatant ripoff of HN : http://textchannels.com

Remember that HN is a blatant ripoff of Reddit and was created because the founders of Reddit wouldn't give pg his own installation (this was before it was OSS). Even Reddit was a "rip off" of Slashdot. Just because it's a social news aggregater does not make it a rip off of hacker news.

The official announcement. I wonder how interoperability between various VOIP solutions will turn out with MS on board.

I am one of these dreamer of a multiprotocol VOIP solution. Like emails actually.

Or telephones.

In my eyes this is Facebook's missed opportunity. Facebook is a sufficiently powerful brand to be able to negotiate exclusive deals with operators around the world to launch a VOIP phone relying on flat rate data only, replacing the address book with a subset of your social graph and SMS with Facebook Messaging. Such a move could have been very disruptive towards voice phone operators if paired with 170M desktop clients and the Skype protocol.

It's a strategy Facebook could adopt without Skype, but with the two brands in unison they could rule the market. I don't see Microsoft being able to do the same.

I completely agree with you. Facebook could of became one of the largest telecommunication companies in the world overnight. Maybe they will get the chance to buy it off of MSFT much like how eBay sold it off. Probably not.

Facebook already has deals in place with mobile operators. For example, Simyo, a German E-Plus reseller, allows its users free access to a special restricted Facebook site 0.facebook.com. They write it's good enough for status updates and messages.

I'll give it a try again.

My DL of Firefox 4 gave me a very heavy piece of software eating way too much resources.

I switch to chrome and hope to get impress enough to come back to firefox.

Not being narrowed to computer things, I am happy to up this post. I love coding and start ups but need to keep it in perspectives. These get sense out in the world which i have to understand to better serve. Love,

Is there a script ready anyone recommend for alike website as HN ? Got to design one about another subject and do not code at all. ;-) Thanks for your insights.
