I wasn't active on HN then, but I thought the community may enjoy seeing some very early real world applications of real time object recognition.
We are working on bringing this to all kinds of objects as well as landmarks, and incorporating some really interesting things to make this useful for consumers. Think of it as live search.
I'll keep the community updated with interesting milestones as this progresses.
By the way, we need a few hackers in Los Angles to help us with this! http://www.ipplex.com/careers
Common options are Craigslist, LoopNet, CoStar, a broker, referral, etc.
What do founders and startups feel the best method is for them taking into account budget, special needs for the business, location requirements, etc.?
As someone who has been a founding employee at more than one startup, I’ve gotten to a point where I am sitting on ideas I think are brilliant and would love to build.
I’ve noticed how difficult it is to find a technical co-founder, let alone convince them to come on board with an idea. That turned into a project for me, learn to build something myself. So I built a site that is meant to help idea/marketing guys connect with technical co-founders and vice versa. http://www.incubationqueue.com/
My main goal wasn’t necessarily to get any attention or traction with it, but just to learn, and that I did. If it proves useful to people I’ll support it and maybe rebuild it in something more challenging, with greater functionality to continue the learning process.
If nothing else, I have a little more insight into what it takes to build a site.
I'd love to hear your thoughts and suggestions on the site and how to improve it.
