I would prefer a more formal way to ensure order. For instance, dedicated field for name, phone, email. And the ability to cross-reference this information with linkedin and other entries (e.g. all contacts I have in law firm X)

1. I didn't notice the "No signup required" at first. Shame. 2. After the interface is very clean and easy to use. 3. You really need an easier way to add people. (FB/Google Addr import/etc). Good luck !

Same discussion as Patent squatters (or land/copyright/or many more). They take over a resource that can produce value and prevent that value to be passed to people. All in the hopes of monetizing on it. I can only hope that in the future,

Thanks for the input I am not from US and we have excellent GSM coverage here. The Droid's keyboard sounds like the big winner. Especially with all the stuff about no multi-touch on N1.

While I would love to get the "cutting edge". Droid keeps coming up as the most comfortable alternative. Or waiting a few months for the next release of N1.

So does a well written and targeted blog post. Website owners do it for money. Bloggers and Twitterers do it for fame. I would personally love to see more posts on Good writing, Audience targeting and Engagement.

How is a blog post different than websites in this respect. 90% of the posts here speak about improving conversion (A/B testing and such) instead of adding features. How much value that adds ? _ZERO_. But you accept that. Now explain to me

Can you give a bit more details ? Does: a) Your app require a large user base to be functional ? b) The appeal increase with larger community ? c) Is useful on its own, regardless of other users ? There is a reason there are few facebooks a

I am surprised no one raised the issue of smart-devices. I mean the hundreds of planned smart, wireless, SOC devices that are prophesied to become deeply ingrained into our lives in the coming years. ZigBee/WBAN/RFID and the technology arou

Excellent answer, thank you. This is one of the main fields I have been looking into. The idea of iPhone/Android/Blackberry/etc app, sounds absurd to me with the Internet-Everywhere movement. Uniform web hosted apps are surely to be here so

Can someone explain to me, what is the connection between "Science smarts" and "Sales/Marketing smarts" ? You really think a brilliant physics PhD can create a network that gets 1,000,000$/year in bowling ball sales ? Or maybe that PhD shou

Try to get into a very large software company. Many of them are willing to take newbies and pay the teaching price. Many people I know started by working a year or two at Checkpoint. Go in green, go out a super-star :)

Since I am coming from a long background of embedded programming, I guess my starting point is different. But, since my last company loved hiring bright college kids with 0 experience (and I was usually in charge of training them), I have t

Thanks, exactly the sort of resources I was looking for. Perhaps I failed to introduce my questions correctly. I have been a system admin for years on military server farms (100+ servers) and have been an embedded developer for a few years

I have a few sites on Webfaction already. While I figured out how to do most things you mentioned. I feel like I am re-inventing the wheel with most of them. Surely there are advanced, open-source deployment / backup / version /etc systems

I have already created a few small projects (the biggest being 2 weeks of work). But there is nothing to show me if I correctly handle my prod-server updates (Now I upload, move, restart) My testing is very basic. And there is a general fee

You should be waiting for USB Battery Charging. That is the specification that will define how USB is used as a power source. (Greater amp and removing of different protocol limitations).

Not a very serious study. If he allowed forms to be processed even if captcha failed, he could of known how many of the failures were indeed legit clients. This way, it might of just been bots and the 2-3% change just a normal deviation.
