Of course that's writing but I was thinking more along the lines of fiction and poetry.

would you be willing to use an online writing community where you could share your own fiction or poetry with others?

There was something I used a few years back that was pretty much what you describe. They eventually dropped support for their free accounts, so I stopped using the service. I'll see if I can dig up the name of that company for you...

Thanks. You hack at all?

I second that.

That's absurd.

i know. its meant to be a joke.

Thats awesome, too bad loopt isnt available on T-Mobile (yet).

I was just bustin your balls. Can you elaborate on your 43things-like idea?

read this http://paulgraham.com/die.html

Paul Graham argues the fear of looking bad is what motivates people. Based off of that concept I thought of the idea of a social network kind of like 43things with the major differences being: - you can set a timeline of when you want to accomplish the goals -people could rate the difficulty of the goals and you have a reputation based on how many goals you complete and the difficulty of them - could be public or private -could be more individualized, ie finish essay for English before Friday

I have to say i like the idea. Have you applied to YC?

No, I don't have a team of hackers and I am just now learning to "hack" myself. If someone wants to collaborate email me at abiek13 (at) aol (dot) com

Are you trying to get us to give you ideas so you can apply to YC?

I think it depends on the severity of the problem. If the problem is minor, an email should suffice. If the problem is of medium severity, a phone call or a conference call should be yield results. If the problem is very severe, it would seem best to gather everyone for a meeting in order to brainstorm.

Great article. Goes to show that you need the whole package. Your 100k lines of code aren't going to do it all for you.
