TweetI see a lot of dupe tracks in hype machine — like on the ‘popular’ page right now, there’s 2 listings for the Kanye West vs Radiohead remix song [which is hot btw!]. this one has been favorite’d 29 times. this one 12 times. What if you started to group the same songs together — [...]

TweetThe title of this post is a lie — but it’s my hope. It doesn’t take a brain surgeon to realize that the majority of the smartest technical minds in the USA are Democrats and supporting Obama. If we were to even just look at Twitter, John McCain has 2,500 followers, while Obama has 88,000 [...]

TweetI’d like to start a discussion about evaluating your business ideas — and determining which one to run with and build a start-up out of. What criteria do you feel are important? How can each of those criteria be evaluated? Here’s an initial list of what I’m thinking: Competition – who’s doing it, or similar, [...]

TweetOn Twitter, you can customize how your profile design appears to other users. It personalizes my page on Twitter to others. All services I’m on should allow this — well, at least the ones that are similar [microblogging; blogging; myspace; etc]. I think it’d be great if there was a centralized storage of my simple [...]

TweetAttention Etailers: Here are some simple/quick ideas for how to use Twitter and increase sales… Why not post a new Twitter “tweet” every 30 mins or 60 mins, posting the hottest selling item of the hour? Or which item(s) are trending with number of views, or number of sales? Why not post a deal every [...]

TweetThe iPhone’s camera is pretty “blah”. I’d love to see an app on the iPhone that allows me to do a bit of a “zoom” [even if it is fake and just manipulating what I see], simple “cropping” (using the touch screen to zoom) in the photo gallery (because I may want to send an [...]

TweetFred Wilson just featured a twitter bot for stock quotes. I was also just chatting with Andrew Parker (Fred’s associate) at USV about Twitter syntax. I think we came up with a pretty good idea for it — although needs to be panned out likely. I’ve mentioned my thoughts on this topic in July 2007 [...]

TweetAllen Stern asks if people would pay $1 per month for full RSS feeds with no ads. He poses this question to spur some conversation on how as a professional blogger he could be making some more money. While it seems like people would be inclined to pay $1 for some reading material, I don’t [...]

TweetYou may already be familiar with Jim Kukral‘s Scratchback service. It’s a widget you place on your blog that lets people give you a monetary “tip” and then their text/link appears in the widget to everyone for a period of time (as designated by you, such as a week or a month). You specify how [...]

TweetFred Wilson twittered that he was looking for these “I’m Free” remixes by The Rolling Stones. Can’t say I’m a huge fan of the Stones, but the remixes are by some hot artists — Postal Service, Hot Chip, Fat Boy Slim, and Moby. I did some research and found out they were released exclusively on [...]
