Yes, because the more venues you broadcast your ad, the more chances you have to find a customer. But not quite, because of one thing: ROI. On the web, you can easily measure the return of your investment. Match your spent money with the se

My bet is that you'll receive more referals from Google, so congratulations on everything you've done. But be careful about number of pages indexed, it's deceptive: I had one site where this number decreased on Google over time (from ~60k t

You're right about some kind of constraint, but what would happen if the user says the SMS never came and needs another? :) Some kind of rate limiting (one per day?) is necessary.

I forgot my password on Google and asked for the code that would allow me to change it to come via SMS. Took 2 weeks :( I'm from Brazil, maybe that's why it took so long.

A joint venture (or a legal entity aka as a company) operates under very different rules than parties working together, probably without a contract. I don't know how the antitrust laws apply, not even if what they are doing collude with any

But he copies and improves, so much that the end product is barely comparable to the original. It's like saying a Ferrari is a descendant of the black T-Ford. Sure, but it proves nothing.

Scribd's HTML5 was about having crawlable (read: show up in Google) content. Nothing wrong with that, btw.

Sometimes forms have to be long, because you need lots of information. A better approach would be to display some section tabs at the top of the form, saying how much you have filled already, or red/green (or icon) if any information is sti

I think I could have expanded on that. The "riskier" part is about DB access. In most environment, the powers that be will not allow you to touch it (correctly), doing INSERTS/DELETES/ETC. So you can pass through the risk management gate a
