This pain point is one of the reasons I do not buy pants or shoes online. This is amazing execution of the idea, and I hope they get bought out for the millions they deserve! Or, if they'd prefer to grow it organically, that too!

Well, to walk through some numbers.. Assume an eCPM of $8 (I think that is good performance, but still a "safe" number to work from). For perspective, I write about personal finance and tend to get a few more dollars than that. Work backwar

"in Evernote, but it’s not convenient for writing. It’s too cluttered and distracting for that." To you. I think that is the key. You don't like it. But 5 million people do, apparently!

From my experience in the corporate world as well as the small business world, the business people who use more jargon and buzz words (out of place) are usually compensating.

I actually haven't snuck into an extra movie. But, to be fair, I have downloaded movies and music. I just grew up and don't find the need to do that anymore. With services like Pandora and Slacker Radio, and a ton of pay per song models, I

"Skip the subject field and just start typing your message. QuickSend will turn the first paragraph of your message into the subject, saving you time." Meanwhile, the body of the text has to do with meeting for dinner and the subject has to

How much traffic is needed to make this supportable by an ad-based model? Other than that, who are your major competitors? I know I've seen a ton of people use travel apps on facebook, but I don't think any aggregate all of their social fe

As a Reddit user, it would be easy to assume that imgur is 50% of the internet, haha.

I would second this whole-heartedly. If you track time, you will find that some clients will question every single second. "So you spent x minutes finding stock images?! That means I paid you $x just to look?!" Just set KPI goals that you'd

I'll go along with bad_user's example of Avatar. From Wiki: "Avatar was officially budgeted at $237 million.[3] Other estimates put the cost between $280 million and $310 million for production and at $150 million for promotion." So, I'd ha

Thanks for covering that. When people abuse statistics it makes my head hurt. Would it really have been that hard for them to spell it out, as the original article did, in three distinct categories? It speaks to the fact that the answers to

I can't remember how many case studies I've read about Ikea through my Supply Chain Management program, but it's a lot. After taking those courses, it's such a wonder walking through the store. They really do try their hardest to pack every

It seems that from the start you've had an ingrained sense of hustle. I actually laughed at your anecdote about selling sporting goods. When I was in high school I sold electronics at Best Buy. We would have reps come in and tell us about t
