Saw this line in the newsletter:
Job board is pretty sparse. For as little as $10/mo, post a job and reach the 60k bitcoiners browsing SN.
I think a ~business sub could also be useful as income for Stacker News and a place for people to advertise their Bitcoin-friendly businesses, online stores, websites or projects.
Currently you can post a link to your business or project, but it would be in the top posts for 1-2 days, then disappear.
A paid business ad could display for x days in the ~business sub. As it would be text-only (no banners) in a specialized sub, and focus on Bitcoin-friendly businesses, it wouldn't be spammy.
(This is a different idea than ~classifieds, which would host peer-to-peer product sales, instead of a business directory.)
