Facebook advertising has always appealed to me. The amount of parameters you can filter users to display your ads to is so specific, you can really squeeze it down to your exact target demographic. e.g. Only to users that are over 18 (so th

Out of interest, how easy would it be for you to adapt the system to manage the reputation for hotels, for example? Doesn't sound like too much work given that you've said the system works on either web scraping or with API's

Doesn't seem like much work at all to me, compared to creating random users. Then again, maybe it's just me that isn't creative enough to be able to come up with names other than "Test User", "Another User&quot

Neat little API. Would be cool if there were a way to generate users with a particular locale - e.g. so I could generate UK users with UK addresses, telephone numbers, etc.

That's very true/a good point. Stale information would be a lot less useful to them though. i.e. Encrypted conversation between two terrorists happens today, attack happens tomorrow, NSA learn about their conversation 5 years late

How are you connecting to that French server? If you're using a domain name, maybe the nameservers are located in the US. If you're using an IP address then that sounds a little strange.

Okay, a few more questions: What are the SaaS company's founder(s)'s backgrounds? Have they launched and run a successful business before? Are you sure they really know what they're doing? It sounds like you don't really stand to lose anyth

Ah I see what you mean now. My mistake. That sounds more useful... but it's also something that most developers could probably build for themselves in a few minutes? 1. Grab page 2. Parse and find links 3. Make a request to each link 4. R
