Everyone has already addressed the duplicate card issue, so the only beef I actually have is not being able to hit the arrow keys to select the stores that turn up in a search. For example, I type "Amazon" and I see "Amazon.com" in the drop

Why would you say it's difficult to integrate into the app? I think it's an interesting business model and I'd love to see how it plays out. The one thing I'd be worried about is being constantly bombarded with promotions (as a gamer) as I

Buddy Repperton Gold: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/buddy-repperton-gold/id419250... Absolutely junky looking app. I wonder what the hell it even does, other than suck.

A couple of things... - Did you steal your header image from somewhere? It looks like you took a screenshot and managed to leave a fragment of the scroll bar in it... - Why are there blog posts completely unrelated to cars in the front? In

I left a comment already on the post, but negative feedback is bound to happen, the best part is that you can update and iterate based on the feedback since you got it out there so quickly. Don't be embarrassed. ;)

Product Manager of PostageApp ( http://www.postageapp.com ) here, we are B2B SaaS and we used a tiered model. We chose to go in this direction because it allowed for a few things: better predictability in terms of cash flow and better predi

I would say ease of acquisition is part of the market failure - if your market can't easily get your products, then why would they buy it? Of course, that's also partially legal failure as well. I think "market failure" covers a huge swath

Slightly confusing: you state that you get 2,000 emails free per person because it's hosted on EC2, but isn't that per EC2 account? Or are you making an EC2 account for everyone who signs up for RocketSentIt? Great stuff though.

This is a short blog post that I wrote to try and explain exactly what transactional email is and why you should use it. I found that many people, in my daily conversations, had no idea of what transactional emails are. As such, this is my

Braintree looks interesting - would I be able to get rid of Freshbooks + Authorize.Net + our merchant account with this service? Also, is it US only?

My initial thought was: who's Yu? My second thought was: damn my Asian-ness. Good luck with the designer search!

Interesting idea - if I read it correctly: you track live events and what not and synchronize the conversations that happen during those events ABOUT those events. Right? If so, would there be licensing issues with the live sporting events

The time aspect is pretty huge - the examples they were using were pretty much time dependent. However, I could see this being useful for groups of friends who decide to split up during a group outing. Traversing a huge outlet mall or large

Somewhat agree. However, magic will happen almost anywhere with an open bar. ;)

Would love to chat with you guys to see how you are handling the email process for those reports + other notification/transactional mails. Product Manager for PostageApp, so you can imagine why I would want to chat about it. :)

Very aware! I believe our products are around the same age, and we happened to go one direction and they went another, however our paths are getting ready to converge (As we will be creating a similar offering.) Not sure on the naming issue

Awesome watch. I am the Product Manager of PostageApp ( http://www.postageapp.com ) and we're under heavy development still, but it's always good to hear the problems that heavy users are running into with email solutions / marketing compan

You are completely right, they are huge relative to the size of PostageApp, but they are the 800-pound gorillas in the industry. There are other, much larger companies such as Exact Target, Eloqua, and Constant Contact, but they serve a dif

I posted this as a comment on the blog, but it kind of disappeared... so whatever. I mentioned that sometimes the 800 pound gorilla isn't as slow or bureaucratic as you would think. With PostageApp, we have several large competitors (SendGr

I wouldn't call this a marketing ploy - it's a landing page for an app he designed and is looking to have built. We use "Show HN" to get feedback from our apps, and this is one of those cases. Is he getting it? In spades! Is he making money

I don't mean to criticize but I had a horrible time just reading through your text - it's all very poorly spaced out and distracted me from your message. Best of luck.

I honestly don't think it's harsh - his websites for his shows are groin-grabbingly ugly, and it should be no surprise to him as to why they do not attract viewers. Want to pull people in to your video content? Look at some of the better vi
