Maybe they aren't aware of Waterfall. Pete Campbell on Mad Men had a great quote; "You know what? I have good ideas. In fact, I used to carry around a notebook and a pen, just to keep track. Direct marketing? I thought of that. It turned out it already existed, but I arrived at it independently."
If they are such experts, how would they not be aware of waterfall? Either they are idiots who have no clue about software development methodology, or they are just lying (either to their customers or themselves). It's not like it's hard to find a reference to waterfall if you bother to look.
This is actually very different to those. Slinkset lets you set up a site with your own style, as well as pointing your domain at it. In effect the site isn't a subsection of reddit, it looks like it's your own site.
For something that hasn't cost us anything other than time, the support from the slinkset guys has been amazing btw.
It's the volume I have a problem with, not the source. 5 of the top 30 stories right now are TC and more than 11 have been posted in the last 24 hours.
Yes, short matters. If you can say the same thing, with fewer syllables / less letters, while keeping 2 - 5 in check, it's a no brainer.
Of course, if you can support your long domain, such as "ISoldMyHouse.com" with hundreds of weekly radio placements featureing a "catchy" tune, you can probably drive home a longer name too.
There are no hard and fast rules, but the guidelines that I mentioned above are tried and true.
1) I am a founder and CEO of Chesspark, which created this, and although I'm fairly new around here, I'd like to think I am part of the community.
2) The tech we have is interesting. The client is pretty, very responsive, and completely in javascript. It's also open source, and all the protocols are XMPP. We open sourced a lot of our backend components as well (punjab, palaver) and we contribute quite a bit to many projects people here care about.
Sometimes you have to look behind the story, and not just what techcrunch thinks of it :)
