- nacker 15y agoWell, why not take advantage of the guy? He's taking plenty of advantage of you, after all. "I enjoy democracy immensely. It is incomparably idiotic, and hence incomparably amusing. Does it exalt dunderheads, cowards, trimmers, frauds, cads? Then the pain of seeing them go up is balanced and obliterated by the joy of seeing them come down. Is it inordinately wasteful, extravagant, dishonest? Then so is every other form of government: all alike are enemies to laborious and virtuous men." H.L. Mencken

- wylie 15y agoPrepare for the unexpected. A good startup trait.
- aorshan 15y agoI love this. It shows how important it is to keep your ear to the ground to look for opportunities like this. More importantly, it shows what happens when you have the confidence to go out and ask someone to do something. I argue that most would not have the confidence to go up to President Obama and ask him to try out their app. It is essential to be willing to get out there and hustle.
- monatron 15y agoVery cool. I'm just shocked that secret service let something like this happen. The red flag mechanism in their brains must have been doing backflips.
- jwoah12 15y agoThat's awesome. Are there any statistics regarding a bump in sales or page views after this happened?
- prezjordan 15y agoI'm sure as hell thinking about buying one. Never heard of this before - thing looks really neat
