I've heard that you and your founders were all serial entrepreneurs going into Heroku. What did you learn from your previous companies?

Definitely appropriate, for this community even more so. Steve was an inspiration, an icon, a legend.

It was really confusing to understand what I was looking at until I read the blog post. I'd recommend screenshots and/or a "how-it-works" diagram explaining what you do. I'm hesitant to "sign up" without knowing what I'm getting into. I lik

We have a separate product that better serves multi-unit chains and "brands" ( http://www.buzzlabs.com ), but that is not as self-serve as Find My Buzz. Thanks for the feedback on the screenshots, definitely a common theme here and we're fi

we actually did have a sample report ( http://www.findmybuzz.com/demo ) through last week, but then thought the screenshots would be more accessible. based on the feedback here, we'll find a way to bring the sample back. there's a UserVoice
