Generally they just get a limited, non-exclusive license to use the code for their own purposes. e.g. they can't resell it so someone else, just use it the way they would have had the escrow not been triggered.

Nice post, and the home page is well designed but it's hard to tell what the product does without a screenshot or walkthrough of some sort. It sounds reminiscent of HelloBar although you say in your post that it isn't like HelloBar at all -

It's hard for me to take seriously any article that so consistently misuses "than" vs. "then"

Worth noting that the guy who wrote this is 17 and still in high school. Pretty impressive stuff.

Really sorry that you feel that way. I tried to write it in a way that would speak to some of the things I've learned over the last few years. That advice may seem obvious, but I'm continually surprised at how many people don't think about

You get out of college what you put into it. I certainly have friends who are learning to "be a cog in a wheel" but that's not at all the only possible outcome of a college education. Insinuating otherwise is questionable at best and incred

The guy who bought it also had a few other projects going on at the same time. I wish I still had it because it was a reliable money-maker for me. Just needed attention that he couldn't give it - especially because he couldn't code it himse

Hey guys great to see an old article of mine like this posted here. For the people who asked, the site is down because I sold it and the new owner neglected to take care of it :( Read about the experience here: http://danshipper.com/110636

Isn't it possible though that things that stand the test of time only do so because they're convenient for living people who use them to advance their own ends? See The Bible, or frankly any other religious/political text. P.S Not to take a

But by definition when the dead gave their advice they were alive. Just because they're dead doesn't mean that their advice doesn't serve a purpose for them or for people like them. Wouldn't you run into the same issue? You never have a tot

Thanks for your comment. Not 100% sure how it related to the post but I agree. It reminds of a Dalio quote from Principles" "Self-interest and society’s interests are generally symbiotic: more than anything else, it is pursuit of selfintere

How do you tell the difference between people who want to exploit your ability and the people who generally want to help you? There are definitely points where their incentives are aligned and their advice would overlap.

I love when people apply what I have to say to situations to things I've never thought about. Good luck out there :)

Did not know that about Tim Berners-Lee. Thanks for commenting!

Thanks! Although to be honest I have been guilty of that. It's just a matter of finding balance as cliche as that sounds.

Completely agree with you. The basic point of the article is that advertisers have to be sensitive to the context shift between selling things on Google and selling things on Twitter. It's possible to create a successful marketing campaign

by dshipper 14y ago
That's a really interesting point. I think Twitter search is one area where the product is grossly lacking. And you're right, targeting ads in the search area would definitely capture intent.

by dshipper 14y ago
That's interesting. It's a fine line though. I think I'd get annoyed pretty quickly if after every tweet I was solicited for something. I've been thinking about a real-world analogue for these types of social communities (e.g. synagogues) t

by dshipper 14y ago
I agree. In some ways social ads are a step back from that, but only because you establish contact with your customers much before they have needs that you can satisfy. So the time to first sale is a lot longer. But I think, on the flip sid
