Groupon is mostly a sales organization (not a technology company), and is supposed to have a lot of attractive female sales professionals.

because it's very awkward that the camera is not in the same place you are looking. You're looking at the monitor, when the webcam is most often above the monitor. So all the viewer (and vice versa) sees is you looking down. It's not "eye

I think to really get at this you need to understand that eastern culture is not about glorification of the individual like western culture is. Couple that with the above comment, I believe that a large majority of immigrant parents, who c

Sorry, didn't see these replies. But I just wanted to add, that at our busy bar, the manager's IDs were passworded. Actually, I assume they were passworded. I do not that for certain functions, the managers had a mechanism to go in a del

The app looks good, but from the video I think, wow it would take me a long time to put in an order. I was a bartender at a downtown Chicago restaurant using Aloha for more than a year. Aloha is not pretty, but it's really fast. I don't wa

visually it's very nice! great job. (but there are 400+ something groupon clones out there (and growing every day.) So technically it's not "all.")

if it's like other expense report apps, it's probably mechanical turk-like, and not OCR. ingenious though.

I wonder if you can always turn a double-marketplace problem into a situation where the buyers and seller is the same person. Or, if it means figuring out a way to change your business model to make sure they do become the same person.

Not trying to troll, but whenever I read the embed.ly home page, I can never figure out what I think the company actually does, when I should want to use it, or how I should use it? Is it a set of widgets for showing things like people's tw

So essentially you allow the new guy to work on the marketing side of the site without fear of "breaking" any of any critical backend functionality? I assume he was able to get started fairly quickly (not much to learn besides some html an

Thanks, that sounds so well thought out and reinforces to me that there's a lot I need to learn. But at the same time, I barely understand what you wrote :(

The nerd and wannabe designer in me was fascinated by reading the article, but I struggled with the takeaways other than a detailed reason to "not use comic sans" (which I think I've been able to do post 1997.) Are there more conclusions in

agree with the above, it's unclear to me if i'm outsourcing support or if this is like an autoupdating FAQ page?

Crazy. Glad to hear that you were able to give back to a very needy community in need on your vacation. As opposed to say, buying a car and naming it after yourself. Can you provide any numbers or statistics on conversion from free to paid?

I can say that besides delicious, I haven't used any yahoo products besides fantasy football. It's a shame that they haven't attempted to monetize the service in order to keep it alive. I wonder if this is indicative of Yahoo, where the bu

There plenty of poorly run, large companies, that are filled with people that aren't that smart, bright, or motivated. Many of these companies don't have great perks, but you might get some job stability out of it. If you are going to work

Great job. Like other posters have said, this to me seems so new and innovative in an otherwise commoditized space. Is it intentional that there's such a big whitespace gap on the 'home' page? (Chrome 7, OS X 10.6) http://img.skitch.com/2

how far it gets its going to be related to how people are finding your site, and how much room you have to grow. if everyone is coming in from search, it depends how many people are searching. I have a few content sites that drive about $10

Just trying to help, not trying to dissuade you from doing this. As someone who is in the market for logo design, what strikes me is this. Currently, I if I go to 99designs or CrowdSpring or whatnot, I can get 30 something designers to subm

Hang in there man. What's touched upon in various ways in all the comments is that "PR" and "Media Coverage" is not the end all be all. In fact the successfully software startups I know STILL email individual potential customers on a daily

Really great looking app. Even for such a simple idea, I like how you spent a lot of time on the UI, whereas there are a lot of iphone/ipad apps with simple ideas and very crude UIs. I also really like the possibilities this opens up. Ass

I have to say of all 37Signalers, I enjoy listening to Ryan Singer the most. He seems to have a genuine interest in teaching and not in a "controversial for the sake of marketing" kind of way. He has a bunch of videos on Vimeo. He talks m
