Sorry to "Hack" the site, but the other post's title wasn't very interesting (even though it is the title of the article!). I just read this and thought the readers of ynews would enjoy it.

Sorry, I think I was the one who submitted it previously. I was experimenting at the time to see how much difference a posts title makes to how many votes it gets. Turns out the title is far more important than the article as far as votes go, as you can see from this one.

Paul Graham + 37 Signals reference = instant karma ;)

Heh not looking for Karma. Just thought everyone would enjoy it.

Although my wife (mcollins027) apparently thought I wanted some Karma :S

Well put. Thanks for posting.

Yeah, this is a really great one. Paul is a bit more succinct than 37Signals, though I loved their book too.

Cool. You can read about RTML here:

I disagree with PG. Not everyone is connected to the internet all the time. My application (juwo) is meant to work offline. I can now see that PG may have been biased against my YC application.
