I think it was Adobe that forgot it was a company that makes tools. They did make it Flash versus HTML5, and are now realizing that they should have been agnostic as a toolmaker.

I use the paperclip gem and store files on S3 with my Heroku apps and it works great. I believe this approach is very common.

I tend to think no. For a small site with few users, no one will care. Once a site has become large enough, downtime with press coverage seems to create a virtuous cycle of social proof, e.g. Twitter, Facebook, etc.

Is this accurate that paypal express and google checkout are the only legitimate ways to accept payments while deployed on Heroku?

Can anyone suggest an alternative high-quality contact importer?

I think the subtle point here is that users don't want bloated applications but 1) They will vocally advocate for additional features that meet their specific needs 2) They will buy upgrades (particularly of boxed software) based primarily

I highly recommend O'Reilly's Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML. It's written for learning instead of reference, and focuses on modern best practices. It anticipates and answers most questions a beginner might have. http://headfirstlab

As an entrepreneur, I strongly want to believe that something which many people find useful or even depend on can find a viable business model. I think this helps explain the obsession over Twitter and Facebook monetization within tech circ

I think this article has some good tactics. Three additional points I would add: 1. An incredibly valuable skill is being able to clear your mind and see what you're working on from the fresh perspective of a potential user. This is even

First impressions: I really like the overall look & feel of the site: approachable, modern, clean, and not needlessly "web 2.0" I have trouble knowing from your messaging who your target audience is, and whether I'm in it. E.g. needs f

As others have mentioned, the key distinction is whether you're targeting individuals or businesses. Typically you'll have a tough time convincing individuals to part with $20 per month and typically there's a free alternative. It's much ea

As a customer, I hate getting gouged by text messaging. As an entrepreneur, it gives me hope that there are useful services which people are willing to pay for directly. The social/viral distribution of sms is impressive: it costs me to se

I use Highrise by 37signals at my company. It's ultra-simple and cheap. Adding records by bcc'ing an email dropbox is really helpful. http://www.highrisehq.com

The reason I left a cushy, high-paying job was that I think I can always get another cushy, high-paying job even when I'm older. On the other hand, my mid-twenties are years when I can afford to take (calculated) risks and do all the thing

I think the critical question is how you'll differentiate yourself from craigslist (free) and, to a lesser extent, eBay.

I agree with you that the writing is often not great. On the other hand, I see a disproportionate number of "Top X reasons"-like posts hitting digg and delicious/popular which leads me to believe that lists resonate well with readers. I'm

Use this tutorial from oreilly/onlamp instead: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2006/12/14/revisiting-ruby-on-rails-revisited.html It's nearly 2 years more recent and up-to-date with Rails changes.
