Ask HN: How to find part-time developer work?

http://laptophits.com - it had great response here on HN, unfortunately few days later I got an email from Amazon, that they reject my associates application, as my site lacks unique content :(. Now I'm working on more specification based filtering options, then will try to add keyword filters (to quickly find for example most recommended'linux laptops') and figure out what should I add to pass Amazon Associates review.

I also started my personal blog today at http://mdoliwa.com with 30 days blogging challange :).

Ask HN: What is your experience with 'doing something' daily challenges?

In some cases they have more info than official websites. For example for Asus Zenbook UX305UA they have info about two models -AS51 and -FC001T. Asus official website does not have these details (http://www.asus.com/Notebooks/ASUS-ZenBook-UX305UA/specifica...)

Ask HN: Any idea where sites like specout.com get specifications info from?

No, but usually in comments people link to products they recommend. It's a little bit different with submissions, as they can be posts like "I narrowed it down to these 3 laptops, what do you think about them ?" which is neutral or something like this. That's why I collect reddit comments only.

Yeah, I was thinking about it. Laptops looked like a good category to start it with.

You can't. But looking more into laptop mentions I see that comments with links are usually recommendations. Submissions are a little different, they can be negative, positive, neutral. And usually are just questions 'I narrowed it down to 3 laptops: LINKS. What do you think about them?'. So I thought links in comments are positive opinions is fair enough guess.
