I will agree with you, and amend my position to coincide with zeynel1. It isn't that paywalls are bad -- good content should be paid for. I just don't think it makes sense to submit a link to a site when only a subset of that site's users c

This is the sort of product blogging I appreciate. Spreadable provides actionable advice, and only suggests their product in a relevant section. Great form.

After reading the article, the title feels a little linkbait-y. I feel like Twitter has been in early stage acquisition talks for a year now. Not typical of TheNextWeb...

I think you would benefit from having a more prominent call to action button. In this case, the link to the contact form to schedule a demo could be made more prominent.

I think you could write a whole other blog post about the last paragraph. To me, the most interesting part about getting started on a new side project is what I end up learning as a result. New methods and skills always come out of trying t
