You have to start somewhere. .NET is out because IMO Java is more open standards based than .NET. PHP - because it's fairly quick to learn and write in addition to being fast.<p>I haven't looked at all options yet, but I'd like to get more opinions on Java vs PHP first. You are welcome to suggets more.<p>PS: Friendster...

Integrating Authorize.net shouldn't be that much work. Usually getting the account approved and setup is as much work as the integration. Without knowing too much about RightCart, I'd say go with Auth.net if you want to do it for the long haul and want more control.

The problem here is that it's much more tightly couple to their platform. They have a "Java-like" language and a SQL dialect that goes against their Oracle database. Still cool though--and another example of a way to lower development and operation costs.

1) The data is not persistent -- meaning, if your server dies, you loose your database with it. Rebooting the server gives you a clean slate.<p>This theoretically can be addressed with a complex backup/redundancy model, but frankly, it's not worth the trouble. Alternatively, you can use a distributed filesystem based ...

Good point. Different kind of challenge, I say..<p>I'm just saying there are inherent hurdles to innovation in a bigger/public company - no matter how innovative the company is.

Here are some thoughts I have regarding popularity meters on news sites and such. Maybe some people would find it interesting or possibly useful. I would also love to hear other opinions, so do share.<p>I am sure many readers here have seen the new SlashRating box, which sports digg-esque (generally speaking) number ra...

It just looks horrible. Usability is not plan readability. There's an esthetic component to it as well.

The only reality that counts is what's already in the prospect's mind. Coca-Cola came before Pepsi, so even a century later, it continues to dominate the market. Aside from being displeased, YC shouldn't feel threatened by TechStars; Y Combinator is ahead of its competition by leaps and bounds especially since it was f...

Well it's not that hard... Normally smart people don't realize that they are smart because they have higher standards and often if they reached those they set them even higher. So from their perspective they normaly never reach their own standards. The problem is that smartness and self-confidence often seem to be diam...

Every market is going to have multiple players (Pepsi vs Coke, Microsoft vs Apple, Goldman Sachs vs Fidelity, Google vs Yahoo); competition is healthy and usually indicative of a solid market. While there may be some heat between YC and TechStars because of the Application Form, they're both great additions to the Ven...

I'm not applying to this cambridge based YC, but I'm going to apply for the next bay area YC. I'm not going to have an entire business built in second life, but will use it as just another way get traffic/users (new approach to online gambling). You might want to make your idea seem more "robust" and not entirely dep...

Remember, there is no reason to feel guilty about having future expansion plans above and beyond what you are offering right now. You absolutely do not have to tell them ahead of time, "by signing up, you may have to switch billing systems by the end of summer" in the sign-up application. There is no need.<p>Instead,...

I disagree that most ventures fail because of problems between founders. That is fairly common, but the commonest cause of failure is that the product is a dog.

We don't only accept 13 startups. There just happen to be 13 in the current batch. Our policy is, and always has been, to accept as many as we think are good enough.<p>And incidentally, that claim about funding hundreds of companies is characteristically bogus. That number must come from all the investments made by ...

I actually care a lot about the last question. It often makes me give an application a second look. I don't think the other 3 YC partners care very much about it though.

Yeah the methodology I use to decide between Auth.net and PayPal is if the stuff I am doing is for part-time or longhaul. For parttime thing PayPal or some 3rd party is cool. <p>But for longhaul, you might as well spend the extra week and learn the art that you will eventually have to.

It's an interesting attitude but I think she's wrong. A big company is already serving billions of customers so they have a lot to lose. If a big company launches a service and its not an immediate success people will attack the brand. Also you get a lot of exposure at an early stage and the users aren't as sympathetic...

There is certainly not enough attention on this subject, yet it should be a real concern to entrepreneurs.<p>Basically, you need to be aware of other means needed to kick-start traffic, especially if you have a site who's user experience depends on the other users.
