I'm in the inner sunset district near UCSF. Foggy but cheaper because of the fog. Excellent lite rail public transportation access to anywhere in the city. Mission district is more of an art community. Depends if you want to be near the GG park or pavement.

It's unclear to me the pain you are solving that has value and will pull money from my and thousands of others wallets. Clarify is this the problem???? ... for people who are too proud to directly say things to their family and close friends, or things that would embarrass or humiliate someone if you just told them. Who is the competition that has a revenue stream?

Pick something you dislike about something you consume, and imagine how you would fix it.

I love it! I was part of the "where in the world is Carmen" team. What a fantastic way to motivate kids in science, technology, engineering, and math.

Ask HN: Looking for input re Orrick Law Firm...

donna — Thu, 16 Sep 2010 22:14:08 +0000

Hi. I attended an Orrick event a month ago. At the end of the seminar our CEO was pinged by a budding attorney to meet and has been in weekly meetings with Orrick ever since. There appears to be some promise of introducing us to investors, and "if only you had /this/, you'd be in a deal." I know nothing of Orrick's intentions or reputation and was hoping to get some input. Anyone know anything? Thanks!

New comment by donna in "Open Graph protocol"

donna — Tue, 04 May 2010 00:09:25 +0000

...also, google's not going to take this lying down ;)

Why I say that... Open Graph is part of Facebook's strategy to use its 400M-user social network as leverage to take over indexing and navigation of the web, and serve ads with it.

Navigation of the web has been almost entirely Google's territory, because of Search (which also equals 90% of their revenue, from AdWords ads).

Therefore, Google has to counter Open Graph somehow...
