I agree with their model and love what they write, though I do think that they could post a picture of themselves and it would get voted up here just the same.
In my opinion the keyboard will become the interface of the power user while the average person uses the new tools. I just dont see a hacker not using a keyboard in the next 10 years imagine having to say a string into a microphone instead of typing it
I guess my question would be more in line with: What would you like to see in a location-centric tech news site that provides the content for the social news sites we love.
Oh god, here goes the procession of posts like this, everybody off the cliff before its too late.

Entrecard is a startup from the kid who made that million dollar wiki gimmick I believe. From what I read it wouldnt surprise me if he was spamming news.yc himself
Whats amazing is that before the internet you would have never even considered questions like this so early and immediately in the life cycle of a business.
Ah but even so they're selling most of that merchandise at shows that people are coming to, even if the ticket sales aren't raking in the cash for them
He mistakes a mistaken analogy. The poets that he names are not selling out live readings and the sculptors are not putting on live creation events.
When it comes to music, yes, a concert tour is more profitable for the artist than their recorded music is. This is the one difference between musicians and other artists.
While I don't completely agree with Arrington, I do believe that this blog post calling it the saddest stupidest sentence ever is guilty of the same sensationalism that Arrington is.
I believe we have the whole top floor to ourselves. I think Phil Tadros of metroproper might stop by (if you know what he looks like) since it is his shop. Other than that, we'll probably be taking up the space towards the the front of the top floor, its not very big up there so we should be pretty easy to spot.
both of them are pretty clunky. I'm generally not a fan of the open source clones though it is nice that scuttle has most of del.icio.us api functionality
Yeah, I was kinda tired of having to rely on things like the may report and freswater venture has been defunct for more than a year now so I thought I'd start it back up.
Its not all that hard to keep updated. If chicago's startup community is ever going to become good there needs to be a way to keep track of it all
