"Ah, right, Milo.com should have been bolded. Milo, the real-time companies, the augmented reality companies, and bit.ly are mostly startups. But you're right that it's not meant to be exclusively a list of startups." - Anthony Ha

"I'm sure there are risks involved, but I have a hard time figuring out how someone could steal your identity just by knowing what you're buying. Also, I was really hoping that I was a haiku, so it was pretty disappointing when I counted the syllables ..." - Anthony Ha

"No thanks. It seems like all that analysis can wait until Apple actually announces the product and releases details." - Anthony Ha

"Yikes, sorry about that, fixed. After all those funding stories, typing in "million" has become way too automatic ..." - Anthony Ha

"Hey Namanh, you've got some good comments, but the fact that every one I've seen ends with an excuse to link to Baduku is starting to seem kind of spammy.." - Anthony Ha

"Whoops, yeah, must have misunderstood the press release. I'll update the post to reflect that." - Anthony Ha

"Uh, it actually has a score of 83 on Metacritic." - Anthony Ha

"Scott, yeah, I had a blast, I just wish I could think about the story without hitting on bumps of, "Ooh, that was dumb."" - Anthony Ha

Edited. - Anthony Ha

"Snuggie. Works for short people." - Anthony Ha

"Thanks. It's not meant to be an exhaustive list, though if you think any of those companies are the clear leader, I'd be happy to check it out and update if necessary." - Anthony Ha

"Thanks Drew!" - Anthony Ha

"Well, the site is live, and I've tried it, so I'm not sure how "I will believe it when I see it" applies here. You can see it right now And as noted in the article, Milo currently has deals with 30 retailers -- presumably those are bigger companies with a serious web presence, not mom and pop stores." - Anthony Ha

"Awesome, glad you liked it!" - Anthony Ha

"Yikes." - Anthony Ha

"I haven't tried every one of those sites, but the goal of most comparison shopping sites is to show you the price at different online retailers. Milo's goal is to show you what's in-stock at the stores in your neighborhood, and for what price." - Anthony Ha

"It seems to be working for me, though the company says it's experiencing some server-side issues due to the app's popularity." - Anthony Ha

"Please point out where I claim this is a review of the app, as opposed to "hey, the concept is cool, what I've seen is cool, there's an interesting story behind it, check it out."" - Anthony Ha

"Agreed." - Anthony Ha

"Yes." - Anthony Ha

"One of our writers did a pretty good job of discussing related technologies and putting Knocking (plus a whole bunch of other companies) into context today: http://venturebeat.com/2009......" - Anthony Ha

"Not gonna comment on Lefkofsky, since he's not someone I know anything about. But on the profitability question, it's not unusual for a profitable company to raise money, for example if it wants to expand quickly." - Anthony Ha

"I think there are some workarounds for this? Anyway, the problems with Linux capability are valid criticism, but hardly a litmus test for what constitutes "advanced technology."" - Anthony Ha

"First, I think it's pretty clear within the first couple paragraphs that I'm not trying to be objective, I'm offering my personal impressions of the service. Second, the Bing travel section has much to do with the new maps service." - Anthony Ha

""So, other than lack of Bus directions," - Anthony Ha

"That's a fair read. I think there are other factors to consider too, but overall, yeah, Bing is pretty sweet." - Anthony Ha

Edit, plz - Anthony Ha

"The reports I read suggest it was human filtered, not just for "Get a Mac" but any kind of potentially offensive content, which seems like a logical thing to do in this situation. (I know sites that aren't careful about posting real-time tweets without curation can find themselves overwhelmed with porn and spam.) And for what it's worth, by the time I did a #holidaywindows Twitter search on Wednesday evening, things had gotten far uglier (on both sides) than "Get a Mac."" - Anthony Ha

"Abraham didn't get too specific, but the basic idea is to find ways for brick-and-mortar stores to compensate Milo.com for the foot traffic directed their way." - Anthony Ha
