Ever think for one moment that a mobile RTS has a different use case and different market than someone who plays Starcraft 2? Don't you think there are more of "those people", than those that will be annoyed with week build t

The only way I could see it working is if you could easily send an integrated experience to a user who does not have the app. This would need to be from the web, have access to the camera, or ultimately download and install the app in the b

So I won't knock on you enjoying it, because thats subjective. How do you use it though, you'll need to eventually sell all your facebook friends to use it as well since you like it so much. You'll have to convince them why f

and then send me a blank picture so you can see the one I sent for you. This way, a picture exchange requires at least 3 pictures. Seems like a win for usability to me. /s

Why the hell would sending dud pictures to see a picture someone sent you be "normal" for the app? Couldn't we use Facebook, Snapchat, or SMS to get the same effect without literally working around a feature? Fucking retarded

Same here. Its like sharing, but you have to share to let people share. Seems fucking stupid. Sending a picture is essentially asking for a picture. I can't imagine enough use cases where I think "I'll definitely want to send

That isn't scammy. In these sorts of RTS games there are build times. Its special to not wait on those. Remember the cheat code everylittlethingshedoes in WarCraft II? How is buying access to that scammy? You don't have to buy it

Human-reviewing the "scamminess" of an IAP at Appstore scale would be a complete disaster. Every reviewer would have to understand the full dynamics of the game before improperly labelling an IAP as scammy. Its impractical to thin

Not getting molested comes at a price: $85 for pre-check status. That said, you also have to hand over your social media history and web browsing history. Its required for your KTN.

Isn't the whole stink about Amazon is that they keep the customers for themselves? Amazon knows how to profit from data without sending it anywhere, it would seem. They would have little motive in sharing that info with anyone. I can&#

It would also be interesting to see the volume that produced a %15 uptake. That's not statistically significant as a number in itself. Also, enough things seemed to have changed at once that its hard to measure what the true impact of

Unlike others, I understood the problem. Your true problem is unless this web agency is cranking out landing pages for a living - your customer will probably spend more time getting your tool integrated than working with it. And they cease

Prefetching the URL will trash analytics, which is why most of this is really done. Its not like the short URLs are easier to copy/paste, or remember.

This is fairly balanced. A good read. What many people seem not to understand is the government control of information. The free market is really the only true way to handle this.

I find reading books and tutorials pale in comparison to battle experience. Reading a book three times only gets you so far - battling rake for a number of hours about gem conflicts and you learn quite a bit...
