This is HORRIBLE execution, I had to click three different links to help out in the campaign. Three different pages I had to wade through only to get to a hard to read form letter I am supposed to cut/paste somewhere and I guess mail to som

Methinks this is personal army type of stuff, not much to see here.

Like I said in my other message: They already have it, and it's called MS Outlook. There's nothing mentioned in the advantages list that one cannot do readily with Outlook (under a different name for the feature in some cases).

It does not indeed, but one is wise to not get pissed off when privacy is breached. It's fighting the current, and hopeless. Much wiser is to not upload anything anywhere that you would not like to see posted publicly or read by someone; o

Very true, all your points. But the need is still there. And I hear you about the quota problem. They should just make it take up the quota of the person doing the sharing... Or am I missing something? But in the meantime I am using Dropbox

I'm with you. What I dread is missing an email (spam filter, etc), not actually receiving messages.

Sounds like Outlook to me? Ie, being careful of which emails to mark as read ("complete"), setting up reminders for later on individual emails, taking a message and adding it to a to-do list, etc... Or what would this offer that Outlook do

I tried, it, really really liked it. LOVED the cheap prices for larger capacities, and was about to give them my money to share stuff with other people... Until I discovered the hard way that files shared across accounts CANNOT be synchroni

The expectation of privacy on anything you put online is a false one.

My BS meter goes off as I read this story. "Google maps does not have turn by turn... How do we fix it? I know! Let's build our own maps from scratch to get this vital feature in!" Mind, you, this is not a simple thing to write. This is a

Yeah, say that exact thing _before_ people sign up. Just cut and paste "You can sign up and have one snitch for free." into the main page, so it's crystal clear to everyone, and hearsay from HN does not prevent people from creating the fre

Here's a shot at giving constructive feedback rather than bitching about the cost which most people here are doing. Point taken, there's the other stuff I can think of: 1) Disclose cost earlier. Telling people to sign up for free and then a

Then you have the clients no one else wants (maybe that's why you have that username?). You can keep them. Smart people go after customers willing to pay more. Actually, I have some old cheap clients I fired some time ago... Should I send

^^^ this. Plus you say "Sign up for free" in the home page. At the very least it's misleading.

You fail to take into account the small team, whose only objective - or at least that which consumes 99.9% of the brain share - is getting a product out the door and keeping the user-facing part of it running.

Awesome, even better. Thanks!

Anyone have a screenshot of how this looks?

I love these posts that purport to tell people what to do. Not as bad as the ones who aim to tell you what you are thinking, but almost.

Bah. I was expecting more insight than "It's the people at the fringes". The problem with _anything_ big enough to have a fringe is always the people at the fringes.

I disagree as well. I agree with what you say in the last sentence, but I do not think too much time spent on blogs is anywhere near the most common blogging mistake made by startups.

No. People do. Neeext!

Well, part of the funny thing about this story submission is that it's a programmers.se.com q/a that got still closed by mods.

Ah, makes sense. Thanks.

+1. But neither coding horror nor joel give a sh*t about that: coding horror: http://news.ycombinator.org/item?id=4132668 - Basically says "If you're bitching about it, it's because it's working as intended" Joel: http://news.ycombinator

So is it illegal to have your acquaintances and family invest in your startup? If not, then have all startups been breaking laws all along? If not, then what's the difference? The link you mention does not address that issue at all (it ju

wtf am I reading? I did not get the analogy. If only some spaghetti sticks to the wall, it means you have a messy wall, less spaghetti left to eat, and spaghetti that isn't all cooked yet. Sorry, but I do not get what you're trying to say.

The one thing that drove me away from participating in SO are the moderators. I swear, every time I get a google hit for a highly-relevant, informed discussion on a non-trivial programming topic, it's a question that has been closed by mode
