PR people are usually a very good contact. News can break 24 hours a day, so they're usually very available. If you're about to spill the beans on something that can be very embarrassing, they will connect you with the right person. If they

I think that's the prettiest page I've ever seen on their network. Hopefully we'll see some creative/design refreshes this year -- it makes a big difference.

I really like it, but it's giving me plenty of results for domains that are already taken: http://www.leandomainsearch.com/search?q=commerce

I think we'll see more and more apps have Dropbox integration. For example, Day One is an iPhone/iPad/Mac journal app that can use Dropbox to sync journal files across all of your devices. Sparrow is a Mac email client that can upload photo

If you're dealing with end customers (like an eCommerce site), you're going to have lots of questions from nervous customers. Or worse, you'll never hear from them.

For corporate mail, definitely use a separate setup. Lots of options here, and it's a question of what tools your org is comfortable using. We happen to be on Exchange. For transactional emails sent automatically by our web servers, we use

Yes. Engineering is constraint management. You're constantly trading off one thing for another: speed, flexibility, maintenance, cost, durability, etc. When one thing fails to be a relevant constraint, it's ok to focus on the other things t

Good advice. But I think the context here is that there's a sudden spike of traffic from unexpected popularity that's likely to die out within a day or two. The mission is simply to survive that period. If you're on Amazon EC2 or similar, i

This is actually the larger issue -- that piracy isn't viewed as something that should be illegal. The fines are just a detail of applicable punishment, and exorbitantly high fines are a distraction.

Hanlon's Razor. There was a login bug with iOS 5, and Google pulled the iPhone app from the Appstore until it was fixed. It's been back for a little while now, and stable. The Android version is far better, though, due to its OS integration

Not everyone's a product visionary, but you need a way to manifest your vision to get everyone on board or rally the troops. Sometimes it's an email, presentation, speech, or prototype. For a company with over 100 corporate executives liste

I did this as well. Even got pulled over for speeding once and was issued a warning. CHP chuckled when he saw that I was well beyond the limit for not having plates affixed to the car, and asked me to get them on the car. New cars are so co

You're right -- it takes time/effort, you know your business better than anyone to figure out if it's worth testing and optimizing. However, the lack of complaints shouldn't be construed as approval or desire.

I don't like it because, often, the keyword I'm looking for is sprinkled throughout the whole page, putting highlights sporadically everywhere. Curious: have you tested/surveyed user preference to having that feature or not?

New cars in California don't come with plates, so it's not uncommon to see cars without any plates at all, especially in the Bay Area. You get temporary plates in the mail and are responsible for affixing them yourself. As long as your regi

Next time, I would try reaching their Public Relations group for help. PR people are almost always accessible by name, phone, and email -- they're usually on the bottom of every press release that goes out. They also have good internal chan

Perhaps. But don't you think they can put out a press release that would be covered by every major newspaper, online and offline? Or Bezos could give an interview with the WSJ, NYT, or anyone he chooses. Why would they leak it CultofAndroid

That was just a marketing offer, where FB app developers got a month of Joyent for free. This is an integration that's much more impressive for getting developers past hosting, permissions, security, etc. to their first line of code much, m
