We have 50 employees in 3 offices - and have found it to be a really useful internal communication tool. Each person has a 'private' G+ (apps) account; we share stuff, have threaded conversations, etc - it's WAY better than email for a vari

It would be useful to compare to a raw graph of the domain age of your customers. There's a chance that it looks similar to this - and that even if Google picked the #1 ranking site at random, then this chart would look the same.

This seems like a poor analysis to me. Did you control for other factors? It's likely that older domains have had more time to build links, trust, authority, etc. It's entirely possible that Domain Authority has a more causal relationship w

I would really like to send mobile push notifications to users of my service. (I send emails and/or SMS right now.) Developing an iPhone & Android app - even a simple one that simply lets me alert users - is beyond my mobile dev abiliti

PJAX looks awesome; only discovered that by chance over the weekend (on HN, no less), but a bit late for the post. Great to see so many projects encouraging adoption of this.

I applaud you for tackling this niche, but $120/year seems a high price. For example: this is the same price as a 50Gb plan on Dropbox. There are some features that could make this really valuable - such as automatic parsing/importing of re

I have used it in Seattle, for business and personal. Honestly, the reasons I'm happy to pay a premium are the phone app and the reliability: I'm fed up of booking a cab that turns up 30+ minutes late. If any of the three/four big taxi firm

Thanks - it's good to know that this is still a technique to keep in mind. To second your opinion, my current boss (company founder) read the post today; his comment was also that "this doesn't stop".

At the radio station where that anecdote was taken from, we were losing money - I could have found myself cut out as an expense. Yes, it comes down to 'enlightened management' - but it's also economic sensible; if someone is able to save mo

OP here; thanks for commenting. (This was my first personal post that I've submitted to HN.) In fact, I became a consultant - but for niches other than business process. Maybe what I'm advocating is that people should think about their role

I'm not involved with this startup, but I did hear a bit about it from someone who was at the StartupWeekend in Seattle where it was realized. From what I remember, they did have a teacher on the team - and were recognized as one of the str

Forgive me if this is a naive, newbie understanding, but long term exit plans seem to be something of a key. If I launch a new business, it's just that - a new business. If it takes off, it becomes a successful business. I understood that
