That's a great example - we're certainly thinking about how to balance the power of static assets, which let us display a few different versions, versus supporting generated content from web servers like Rails or Django, where we

Sorry about that! Offhand I think that's a unicode issue that I need to fix. Thank you for the heads up. Will work on a fix tonight. As far as pricing, we're not sure yet, but we want to make it as free and accessible to developer

Hey, Brendan from Awesomebox here - I've actually never used Bugherd before (though I've heard great things!), so I don't know what it looks like enough to copy. As toast76 says, we also do very different things.

Not quite - Awesomebox works with your real production code, whereas DesignDrop is only for design files like PNGs, JPEGS and PSDs.

Cool! I'll check it out.

Sorry! We hit some momentary downtime on Heroku. Back online now.

Similar, but not quite - notable is focused on design prototyping and wireframing, but our goal with Awesomebox is to follow a website throughout its lifecycle, not just during the initial design phase. I'm a big fan of ZURB though - t

That's awesome! Totally agree about remote work - our inspiration came working with people across multiple timezones, and not always being able to walk over and show them. I'm curious - what's the name of the product you&#x27

Think of Awesomebox like a versioned CDN - you can push any HTML, CSS or JS, and then invite anyone to view, comment and annotate it. It's different from a widget in that Awesomebox gives you infinite staging environments - if you push

Thanks for the heads up! Working on a fix right now.

Thanks Des! It's come a long way since we showed you guys last month. Matt and I are very happy intercom users over here too :)

+1 to this idea.

By far the funniest part of this is the image points "non-tech workers" straight towards SOMA: http://www.modernluxury.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/s... Geography fail.

I believe that with nearly any ISP you're contractually prohibited from sharing your home internet connection with neighbors or anyone outside of your residence, so creating a service explicitly designed to do this is a bit of a grey area.

Great idea, getting close on execution. I've reviewed 5 sites so far though, and all of them are awful. Would be great to put together a list of 1000 great websites and let users review those, because it makes being a reviewer more fun.

Yeah, great point here. Facebook really emphasized this difference awhile back when they started allowing users to "Like" a Page, but then choose to hide it from their News Feed. This allows me, as a Facebook user, to complete my profile an

I'm skeptical of App.net, but I thought Dalton did a fantastic job explaining the News Feed in that piece. Really well done.

All great points. One note: the $3 I noted in the article actually isn't CPM, it's Cost-Per-Reach, or Cost Per Unique Impression. This is an important distinction because most digital/display advertising functions on a CPM basis, where one

A large portion of that 700kb of js is for user-level analytics to track everything, which is fed back into everything from Ads to Page Insights to News Feed algorithms. There's a lot going on that has nothing to do with loading and display

Great question. On Facebook you pay per click or "per mille" (CPM) - it'd be great if they added "attend" as an event parameter in the Ads API so that advertisers could optimize their ads for event attendance: https://developers.facebook.c

In my experience Craigslist is great for capturing the older collector audience, or anyone looking to grip and flip, but Facebook Ads brought me the younger audience, who isn't otherwise dedicated enough to wake up early on a Saturday and h

Hah, yeah! My advice, unless you are a comic book expert and want to spend the time marking prices on everything, is to set a single price per item, such that on some items you'll be making more than you otherwise would, and on others you'd

Lots of businesses can host events, IRL and online - a brick-and-mortar shop can host a sale or a meetup, an online business can host a webinar or a conference - in fact it's tough for me to think of a business that, by nature, could not ho

by brendanib 14y ago
I totally agree that this is a specific case. At the same time, there are a lot of smaller, brick and mortar businesses out there trying to figure out how to use Facebook Ads, and to me, hosting Events is a great way to drive people into st
