This is Genius because Linkedin has been working really hard on one feature that could possibly make a lot of users upgrade. The fact that we always want to know who "peaked" at our profiles (I'm sure half of your secretly wanted to know at

What you're describing is not really A/B testing. Real A/B testing would mean to simultaneously show to different users, different pricing for the same product and I believe in some jurisdiction this could get you into a trouble legally spe

My biggest concern with reducing prices is that it in turn pushes retailers to find a way to reduce the quality of the products they are offering (they don't want to operate at a loss and when they can't achieve the massive scale they need

I am using namecheap for 5-6 years now (can't remember for how long). I never had to do anything except manually renew the domain I needed. I also set myself in a mission to 'help' people who need help with setting up their DNS and uses God

Philippe - sounds like a neat idea. I wish you lot of luck. I love the UI, it's clean and very intuitive. I personally didn't like how the pricing page is going over the website itself as you scroll down.

This is amazing. By the way - it seems they did around $14M in revenues. From their help page[1] - they state they're charging a 5% of collected money from successfully funded projects. Knowing that $274,391,721 has been pledged on success

You should check binpress http://www.binpress.com (I'm one of the founders), it is a marketplace for source code. While 50% of the projects are not necessarily open source, the other half are open source projects where the developer also

I've seen similar restrictions in other websites and I could argue that the lawyers writing these TOS are either clueless about SEO or very aware of how SEO works (I know I am citing the 2 opposite but I'm explaining why below). Clueless ab

The main problem is that Expedia is really great for customers like us since they really help us in making better and (cheaper) decision when booking a flight. I think this should be fixed with either suing the company and the people involv

Ditto. Some more proofs would be great in order to establish some trust with this post. If everything written here is right then I would say they have a pretty good case in suing them. I would also argue some lawyers would even take this ca

I have experienced pretty good customer experience with Expedia as well. However we're not talking about the end customers here but rather the suppliers (of services). I wouldn't want to use a company (no matter how good they are) who have

I wonder if we can repay them and play the same game they are playing. Maybe if many of us reblog/post and link to that amazing detailed blog post with the anchor text being "advertise with expedia" - maybe when new hotels who will want to

You could argue that if that said presentation was clearly stating to use hacker news as a marketing tool. (Which would attract the wrong people from the get go anyway). On the flip side, bringing hacker news to the attention of the mass co
