I wrote my own clustering algorithm in php and I use http://www.simplepie.org/ to parse the feeds. I will eventually open source it if there is enough interest. But the code needs cleaning up before I do that.

According to their book, they don't listen to feedback!

"That's why you start with no. Every new feature request that comes to us -- or from us -- meets a no. We listen but don't act. The initial response is "not now." If a request for a feature keeps coming back, that's when we know it's time to take a deeper look. Then, and only then, do we start considering the feature for real."

CakePHP + Scriptaculous. CakePHP was easy to learn, however the documentation is not complete, you'll have to read the code for advanced features.

1. We have no competition

2. Our financial projections are (and/or valuation is) conservative

3. We know more about (software / search / media) than (Microsoft / Google / Fox )

4. This will be our last round of funding

Yesterday Facebook accepted my application ScienceHack into the applications directory. So far, it’s been a huge success, I am getting great exposure to my target audience and every time someone adds my application, many more come through the friends feed feature. If you have a start up don’t hesitate to integrate it into Facebook.

What are your thoughts?

amichail; you need to redesign the user interface. start by using font size 12 across the whole site, then add margin between all the blocks. and consider something else beside yellow. Check out websites like technorati and wordpress.com

nope, sorry!

New updates with more ajaxy goodness

They use PHP for include files written in PHP.

VB was my first programming language (I was 15 at the time) it is a good way to produce results fast and learn about conditional statements, loops and functions. Later, I switched to C and C++.

I got the following error:

Error Argument to 'cdr' has wrong type

Additional debugging info: (more...)

Guy Kawasaki left a comment on my blog saying "We considered accounts, but wanted totally friction-free sign ups."

What do you think, will you do the same (at least in the early stages of your startup) to attract customers?
