This still seems a bit expensive to me for an application that would require thousands of writes per second? ie. 5k writes per second is ~$120/day. Using this for performance based analytics for example would seem out of the realm of reason

I don't think they would/should black it out since Google search itself serves as more of a utility for every day life. Maybe they should invert their colors completely though. As in, make Google entirely black with messages all over the fr

Buy duckduckgo and replace yahoo's antiquated search and results layout would be a great start. Otherwise, a seriously minimalistic ui overhaul is in order.

As a follow up, I think that having a proper 'template' of what you would consider ideal specs would go a long way in helping those that can produce such a thing as well as weeding out those that may not be up to the task. I could get rathe

I would go for something like this, but I have difficulty quantifying what a 'prototype' could be considered as. I think what I have in mind would be more then what the average person would consider a prototype (at least technically speakin

Simply put, you're hiring people to get it done in a specific way. That is their primary purpose and that is likely what they are getting paid for. They either are not privy to this information or are not interested in doing what they are

Speaking as someone who knows enough of both to break things but is by no means either a designer or a developer, I think that your best bet is to document your idea in as much detail as you can. Be extremely specific. Write down not only w

As someone that isn't really a developer but understands enough to break things or cobble them together, this seems quite accessible to me. For example, I could conceivably see taking an existing web services API and spitting JSON results i

I've actually been running into a similar issue. I've been trying to find a solid user interface designer to help us design our analytics app for the past couple of months. While our budget is probably more flexible then yours is, my favori

The best way imho to do this is to ignore the individual variables and think about what your business goals and objectives are. When you have a firm grasp of what those are you can then shape the metrics you are looking at to give you insig

Well, that's the down side to relying on an app store rather then helping shape the mobile web. While I understand the appeal for wanting in on the app store for a variety of reasons, this is going to keep happening over and over again. For

The revenue share model is going to be your best bet until you are capable of determining your lifetime value for a user. It is rather impossible to speculate without knowing the niche and the price point for someone to subscribe. Even then

They are neither an advertising nor a search company. They are an information company. This will never change. Even as they expand into and create new platforms to serve out advertising and such. I cringe at the thought of facebook/twitter

It is all about solving problems that people have. One great resource for this in my opinion is to go to ehow.com and check out the thousands of articles there in just about any topic. Each of them is an answer to someones question or probl

I am a marketer. I am also fairly technical and think that I have a firm understanding of how things work but lack the capabilities/aptitude to properly code them. I managed to cobble together a functional prototype of some analytics softwa
