Thanks for taking the time to read and comment, I'll reply here as well! --- I expected them to be cheaper as well. However, the cost of storing the books is probably close to nil - Amazon has leagues of servers at their control, I doubt a

Could not agree more. Using something like Wordpress, it's not difficult to put a little box at the bottom of every post explaining what your product is and where I can learn more.

Congrats on the funding, Gregarious! Chute definitely seems like an interesting company, and I'm glad it's not just-another-photo-sharing site. Looking forward to seeing what else comes from your camp!

I posted this in the comments of the blog post, but I figured I'd share it here as well. --- One of the things I always tell people is that social media should never, EVER, be used to solely push or market your product. People are here to i

Funny enough I just tested it out - it seems to be using a different type of serif font, or it's just smaller. Either way, I can adjust it (and I'm kinda dumb to not have noticed it before) so there goes the differentiation I guess?

I usually will not connect anything to my facebook, but just curious: does it establish these relationships based on my interaction and networks shared with my friends, or some other method?
