What's the point in launching polished features that nobody wants? Much better to release unpolished/limited features to a set of users and solicit feedback on what they're really after. Then you can release more polished/complete features

It is but my hypothesis is that most products are aimed for large businesses and not easy to use/buy for smaller companies (I could still be wrong - we'll see).

I'm still assessing the viability of a new social media analytics and monitoring solution - http://twitcherhq.com

More of a side project than a weekend project but I'm working on http://twitcherhq.com - a social media analytics and monitoring tool.

If I build the rest of the app I will be able to.

I'd be interested to know what the typical conversion rate people see when sending customers to a landing page from adwords? I suppose it's probably too complicated to have a "typical value". I'm currently seeing about a 10% conversion rate

You should put the hire me call to action further up the page!

http://twitcherhq.com is affordable social media analytics and monitoring to help small businesses and startups measure their social media success.

Have you thought about a video demo and landing page?

I'm currently at the validation stage of a social analytics and monitoring tool http://twitcherhq.com - undecided whether to take it further yet.

I tried out the app on my way home, I thought it was slick and quite fun but I don't get to see anyone else's routes around London, as far as I could see. Is it just because no one else has used it or because you guys have to update the app

I see that you're planning to sell posters and maps, interesting... Have you managed to speak to anyone, which suggested people would like to buy these?

I think I like the idea, in a novelty sense, but I can't see an obvious business model? Maybe it doesn't matter and it's just for fun. I presume there's no data for any other cities because there's no one using the app anywhere else? I'll t

Thank you, I will. These are interesting suggestions, I've been hyper focused on "social", "analytics" and "metrics" so far. I should broaden my perspective.

This is probably true. I will try and get that name out of my head.

Anyone use a "smart TV" or whatever the internet enabled TVs are called? I don't currently stream to my TV in a sensible manner and I can't work out whether an Apple TV + a TV will be worth the extra cost over a TV with streaming built in?

I second this. It took me a while to figure out what I was meant to do to find out anything useful about my site.

Hard to find, unfortunately, but NET-A-PORTER (disclaimer: I work there) also donated $10,000. As well as LOVEFiLM, Oslo.pm, and Dijkmat donating various amounts. Source: http://www.perlfoundation.org/previous_homepage_news

Absolutely lovely design, great job! One point: it wasn't immediately obvious to me that the right hand logo was a clickable logo back to the homepage. .net as TLD for a webapp feels a bit odd too but it's probably fine for beta.

What kind of website monitoring? Just checking a random domain is available on the internet? Then yes, Pingdom is a no brainer. If you have a complex application with multiple moving parts you'd probably want to look into something like nag

With all this talk of dynamic scripting languages, I just wanted to mention Perl. We also have a powerful framework - http://www.catalystframework.org/ and there's an excellent book: "The Definitive Guide to Catalyst". There's also a grea

It's very sad to see certain individuals try to overshadow the interesting work going on in the Perl community. Congratulations to the Dancer team (and to everyone else working on interesting projects: Mojolicious, Catalyst, Moose, MetaCPAN
