Hi Paul,

Thanks for sharing your experience. Do you (or anyone here) could imagine putting this to work on a creative company. Lets say, put separate computers in the same room just to browse or email checking, and leave the main computers for work.

I think that in creative environments where the deadlines are very short - ie. ad agencies, design, production.. etc - having a computer connected full time is better for efficiency and since the deadlines are so short people tend to complete their task by means of inherent preassure of the work.

The problem arises and gets more complicated in the cases of programmers, book writers, scriptwriters, composers....professionals who have time to "spare" in procrastinations such as the ones we find on the internet.

I will try to implement Paul´s technique and see if I can star my script.

thanks to you all

HI IMP,

Thanks a lot for your info. I remember reading the article about the guy who wrote 101out. Thanks for the link. I wish this project to become an open-source soon.

I also remember reading that YC news was an attempt by YC team to work something out in Arc. Thanks again.

I have been around Reddit and YC communities for a while, but never really had the opportunity to jump in on any discussions. Up to now my projects were all in concept develop phase. Now that I am approaching content and communications phases I definitly need to know more about programming, languages, frameworks and all....at least to know how to talk with hackers.

Thanks a lot for your time.

Thanks Aito for your input.

I just visited you blog. Are you a hacker?

take care

Hi, anyone can help me with some questions regarding news agregator frameworks. I would like create or set up one here in Brazil.

1. Is it hard to develope a similar one to reddit? (I found PLIGG open source and Openserving, but I am a big fan of reddit simplicity)

2. How much would it cost do develope one? (To hire an programmer, implementation and maintance)

3. Is YC news using the same platform as reddit?

4. Thats all for now. Please any input is welcome.

5. I am not a hacker, so I really don't know if my questions sound a little bit silly.

Thanks already.
