thanks. good point on the pro end user. I'm not looking so much for advice on "tiers", but if I should split out the premium services into multiple premium services. eg: evernote could split their premium service into two services: - supers

Yeah, good advice. I always try to simplify things, so this makes sense. One thought was that It may be easier to convert users if there are focused cheaper plans that meet a specific need. Wonder if anyone has data on this?

Why waste time incorporating? I'd just put it under some umbrella LLC (cheap & quick) until it has traction. After traction then you can move to C corp only if it's necessary to raise capital.

broad generalization - cost of switching varies GREATLY depending the type of service.

That really sucks! But dude, why give up on the idea? you're selling the domain and moving on? Incubators aren't necessary.. keep plugging away and launch anyway.

If they don't go straight to their comp then they usually won't remember - with a new brand that is. And despite what our habits may be most people don't have a laptop open while watching TV. It was not scientific, but we saw ZERO uptick in

Mostly targeting by time and show (which is demographic by nature). There was some geographic stuff but it was pretty limited. You can create an account and browse without spending any money on it.

Google tv is easy, but bad for a startup. Converting brand new users from TV to the web when they don't know who you are is VERY hard. I spent about $15K with my last company on google tv ads. It was a sports site and we got on espn etc. I

Don't worry so much about getting into YC. I'm surprised at the amount of people who see this as make or break. If you're committed to building a great product you should just be building and iterating all the time.

Why optimize before they need to? They've done well so far with the current js loading and now they're optimizing b/c it's time.

Because a facebook app and an iphone app aren't websites, yet they still have many of the same issues. Websites are becoming more and more like desktop applications and pigeonholing something as a "website" doesn't make sense, unless you ar
