Yup. You're absolutely right. I should have qualified that. We had about the same number of "real" tweets out of the 200.

A friend of mine took out an ad on The Deck ( http://decknetwork.net/ ) when he launched his app. It produced quality traffic that converted into active users. It also opened some doors with people who could help him promote the app reachin

Hi. When we first released http://limelightapp.com/ the only thing we did was post it on Hacker News. It made the first page for a few hours. In addition to generating really great feedback from the community, it also generated a decent a

Point taken. :) Sorry. Removing my post (and taking most of this thread with it.) EDIT: Except I didn't realize I can't do that after folks have replied. Anyways, it's pretty clear a lot of folks didn't find it funny or appreciate it. I wen

And it was a good joke! I worked with PHP from 2004 to 2010. I worked with PEAR packages, early-adopted and watched the evolution of Zend Framework, ran both the local PHP user group and company's internal PHP user group, used ORM solutions

Yeah, totally agreed. I met one of the principles of DNSimple at MagicRuby earlier this year. Definitely worth giving these guys $3 a month for the amount of time they save me. The time their configuration templates for Heroku and Tumblr ha

You're right, but it doesn't solve the problem discussed in the article. He's not looking for a laundry list of emails he needs to follow-up on in the future. He (like many of us who do Inbox Zero or are otherwise GTD-ish) will only want th

I love this new class of services that integrates into email workflow unobtrusively. No additional software, can use it from your cell phone, etc. One thing I've done is add the addresses to my address book with a easy-to-remember "names".

Hey Dalton. Andrew here. Congratulations on the launch of these new features! I think you may be misunderstanding Brennan's comment just because he's closely linked with us. It's not astroturf. The feedback he's giving you publicly here is

Who are the folks/companies in the picture at the bottom? I feel like I might recognize some of them, but they're much younger.

I ran into this on HN randomly the other day when I looked up the wrong user and saw this in a user's profile. The whole site, introductory video, tours, etc. are so tight! Amazing job, guys. Best of luck!

Last thought, embrace the fact that this happened to you. This is a story I've been able to tell again and again since it happened and it's interesting . It makes the story of your launch interesting . We just read yesterday in an article

The exact same thing happened to me a little over a month ago. A few days before the launch of http://limelightapp.com/ , we saw http://app.net/ show up on the front page of HN. Initially, my heart sunk. (You've already felt this, I'm

NeXT wasn't a failure. It was bought by Apple for a reason: the software and underlying architecture. That's why we're still typing NSMutableArray, etc. when developing our iPhone apps today. NeXTSTEP was amazing software. Steve created an

One of the first tweets I read in the minutes after this news broke was "@gruber Well? Help us process this, John." I'm glad he didn't waste any time.

The only reason I even wrote one was because our payment gateway required them on our site. https://www.limelightapp.com/policies Is this legally negligent?

This is a great concept. I've been bidding on time here for the last couple of days and the stability of the site has improved a lot from when I was first using it.

Definitely give this a shot if for no other reason than to hear the hold music. It was only funnier that it played right after being asked to hang up if I was under the age of 18.

Great idea. I thought I'd take this for a spin to discuss http://www.limelightapp.com/ . Signing up using Facebook was easy enough. However, once I started bidding on available time slots I got confused. I'm over bidding on some time slot

Practices of an Agile Developer is just the right amount of discussion of methodology, project management, and technical practices.. you know, before you get back to just writing code. :)

Cool article. In addition to point 9, I would add that mistakes typically have consequences and sometimes those consequences are pretty tough. I think a fear of these consequences is why a lot of folks try to dodge blame. However, like the
