This is an extremely dangerous response. The fact that it is at the top is disheartening, especially for this site.

The real problem is treating startup ideas differently than ideas. Ideas are like experiences. They build off of each other and the sum is greater than the parts. Not always in a literal sense either.

The fact of the matter is, the way we arrive at things isn't truly understood. But there are people who propose methodologies that may or may not work for the OP.

A good start would be James Altucher's idea machine: http://www.jamesaltucher.com/2012/10/how-to-become-an-idea-m...

I have been waiting for something like this.

I hope they are working on a JS integration like Stripe has though.

A form POST as their method of integration reduces my confidence level a bit.

Why the reduced confidence? Wouldn't a Javascript solution involve sending the same information via a HTTP POST?

You're using my WordPress mobile plugin for your blog and have it slightly misconfigured with your cache plugin.

They aren't the same thing.

I wrote the code to do this if you want to buy it.

Thanks, I have also written the code to do it, too, and it is not very hard - but I'd suggest you sell it to other people who don't know how. There are entire businesses to be built on top of the Referly API and right now we are leaving this particular one to developers to build.

Kudos on the video. I was 50/50 on whether I wanted to buy one, but after the video I had to have one!

Reads like a regurgitated press release.

Yawn.

But you are competing with Craigslist. Not to mention the App store has no shortage of classified apps.

Posting to classified sites really isn't that difficult. For some people, sure, but enough to justify a company? The proof is in the marketplace with the lack of traction for Eggdrop, Antengo, and the numerous other apps that claim to make posting items for sale easier.

I would stick to the community aspect. I don't know if there is anything there, but at least it is different then what already exists in the market.

This is exactly what it was like for me as well, and I suspect the vast majority of other entrepreneurs.

An acquisition takes away freedom, the thing we value the most.

Elon for president?

Nope... Born in South Africa...

You're missing the point. It's actually written into the American Constitution that the president must be born in America.

I don't think the above comment had anything to do with his capabilities. Merely the practical difficulty in becoming president. (It would require a constitutional amendment.)

Whatever you consider Hawaii part of...why?

If a Kenyan can become POTUS, why not a Saffrican?

Because the actual law as written excludes someone not born in America from becoming president.

Obama was born in Hawaii, so he passes. Musk was born in South Africa, so he doesn't.

It would take a constitutional amendment to change the law. Highly unlikely.
