Who here has frequently used facebook and then got off the platform? What's been the hardest part without it? Was it hard? Do you feel disconnected or has communication actually been affected with the people who matter to you?

My first impression of the result was shouldn't there be a requirement for a larger difference than 1 - 2% for something like this to pass? A majority of at least 65% for example? I don't know what I'm talking about really bu

Sounds like the right move. If you had discovered this when you were 6 months in, spent 50% of the cash and had employees would you have made the same decision? To pull the plug and return remaining capital vs trying to make it work.

The worst thing about snapchat when traveling however, is battery life. That app literally sucks the juice out of your phone in 10 minutes. Too much gps trying to load all their filters or something I don't know. I have to turn off cel

I downloaded snapchat a few years ago. Didn't know enough people on it and uninstalled after a month or two. About a year ago I reinstalled as a way to share a trip I was on. It was perfect for that. You'll post one perfect, curat

I blow through that 500MB in 2 - 3 days is the problem. A better, but not very cheap solution is to just rent a wifi hotspot for around $8 - $10 / day if you're on a short trip. Get 1 gig / day as well. I'm just going t
