"We tell users in our snap that their response will be posted online."

Spare a thought for Spotify - they are contractually obliged to pay out in excess of 70% of their revenues to the record labels.

Definitely a challenge for them but Airbnb seem to have done fairly well here.

Fantastic product and team. If you get a chance definitely tune into their webinars . seminar.intercom.io never thought I'd say that out loud.

Because it's a good source of lead generation.

You should fork the English language.

This is why I love Gail Goodman's "The Long Slow SAAS Ramp of Death" talk. http://businessofsoftware.org/2013/02/gail-goodman-constant-... There are no quick wins, it's a grind.…

This is ridiculous. Common sense is not exclusive to agencies or freelancers in your own country. There are plenty of awesome developers and development teams in countries other than your own, includi…

I agree. 4 months is way too short to call it quites and shift to a new product. In terms of customer validation it sounds like you have some but it hasn't been exhaustive by any stretch. Trying to ge…

We started Tweaky.com to help with this exact problem. We only tackle small projects but we've built a system which makes this work for both customers and developers. Our project managers break a proj…

I wonder if there was some kind of accounting reason behind it as well.

I'm surprised that they kept you on below market salaries after the acquisition. But I'm guessing that the bonuses more than made up for it?

Emails from lawyers also frequently contain the phrase "my client". You might not want to automatically delete those ones.

I'm also pretty frothy on this $12 phone. http://www.bunniestudios.com/blog/?p=3040

I lived for the last 2 years with a Nokia 1610. Highly recommend but they discontinued in January and a new model came out with a camera (which was against my minimalist ethos at the time). I ended up…

Grandfathering is the best thing to do here. A good trick I've heard is to launch at a high price - say $100 per month - and do promos through marketing channels where you are quite liberal with disco…

There is a lot of regulation. Almost every aspect of the design needs approval by the department of transport. There is a need to ensure that the vehicles can be produced in mass production versus a o…

The cost is that people who know this strategy is in place will no longer purchase any tickets if there is less than 100 tickets left. Further if the ruse is revealed the general sale of all charity l…

An all star cast. Particularly good to see another designer and to have someone with IPO experience.

Awesome. Just arrived from Melbourne and brought my bike with me - my poor legs will be very thankful.

"I'll give you 20% of the company if you make the MVP." Which is not what this article is saying at all. That's why there is a dollar figure attached to hiring a freelance developer, not an equity spl…

I think you can hazard a guess that it's for building an MVP for a web product. An agency is unlikely to be able to build an MVP of a stealth fighter jet though they might still send you an estimate.

Do you feel the same way about OKCupid? "Are you sure the boy/girlfriend you're looking for is only 'ok'?"

It's the bubbles, I'm not a big champagne guy ;)

We have to a certain extent. Prior to this I probably went out for drinks 2 or 3 nights a week. One to 4 drinks in a night, sometimes more. It's definitely a sometimes food for me now.

I don't think he means necessarily that they're cash cows. It sounds like he means that they're profitable enough to keep surviving and growing somewhat but not to the point where someone wants to acq…
