I understand why someone would hate this kind of question, but ultimately the point of any interview is to evaluate the candidate as a match for a particular role and position. I've always been told that there is not such thing as a bad can

So it is none of these or is it TwitterContests? Either way is fine. I just forgot to make a None option. You are not being rude, btw.

Well I tried to give away a meetup ticket on Twitter. You just had to be one of the next 10 people to follow me and Tweet about Turn-O-Phrase. It was a pain in the ass tracking all the followers and who said what.

Many businesses already do this. I see hundreds of SMBs running contests on Twitter every day. Usually you have to retweet and follow to enter, but there are some other rules too occasionally. It would be nice to automate that workflow and/

TwitterContests - Twitter contest generator. Running a raffle or a giveaway on Twitter is a bitch. This app is a way to automate that. Set the criteria for winner selection, timing and ways to qualify, then collect analytics.

Excellent advice from Matt as usual. The memories of stressing out over the grad school letters are still vivid after some 8 years. But I did my homework (research with two of the letter writers and TA-ship with the other), and it paid off.

It's one of those things that you kind of know to be true, but then it startles you when feel its impact on your own work over a long period of time. Thanks, BTW.

It's helpful to think of the flow of capital acquired through privatization of Russian state property into US-based and EU-based businesses as a form of money laundering. It's about legitimizing these assets and moving them farther away fro

My wife's radio show on this topic exactly: http://english.ruvr.ru/radio_broadcast/38318922/48746461.htm... (shameful plug). Your points are all valid, but there is more to the "culture of innovation" in Russia than meets the eye.
