The approach makes sense, but something about spamming tons of blog owners turns me off. I've used a similar approach, but only with the blogs that I had either made personal contact with previously or that I frequented. On another note, yo

Rackspace cloud has great customer service (they did as Mosso too). We pay about 150 a month for our hosting (4 servers, 2 paid by clients). We're small time, sure, but upgrading/resizing is super easy and we've never experienced any down

Really isn't this the point of Hackernews? to promote and link other sites (even you own) and to enable intelligent discussion? If it wasn't added here I for one wouldn't have learned about it or wegame.com. That being said, I liked the in

It's a sad state when legit businesses get denied yet scammers make it through several "hoops" (getting a certificate/getting a merch account). Try and try again...we worked with RBS world services and they were really helpful in getting t

Agreed. It really depends on your market/product. Though I will say that finding a way to use your product (even if it is simply using your VoIP service at low-volume) will unearth the bugs you might otherwise be missing (but that your cl

Actually, it's not that hard to get a merchant account considering their site is very straight forward. They list their address, the site has a secure cert and numbers to the tech support. It's all the things that companies like Auth.net

Nothing wrong with adding personality to your site. I don't think it will detract or add anything to it, unless you're either a supermodel or the fly.

I'm sick of April Fool's jokes on the web. I understand the allure, but it's energy mis-allocated. Gmail, autopilot is dumb. And thanks for the spam this morning SlideShare. Jerks. I don't ever, and haven't ever, utilized April Fools to

It's an interesting campaign, on a side note: does anyone else think that the new IBMer is a bit from the I'm a Mac/PC playbook? Next we'll have I'm a McDonald/BKer.

It's a shame...nay, crime that most k12 schools block youtube indiscriminately.

I agree, those things are contradictory. I'd go one step further as well. We can't evaluate how well we (US) are at meeting standards if we're not all looking at success as a consistent end product. We just list standards and say, "meet

Isn't it called experience? Honestly, I think the proliferation of certificates and degrees has had a negative affect on the value of higher education, RE: that "marketable degree" you mentioned. Not to mention that some (myself included)

I think this drives an important aspect of growth home: don't over stretch. Their geographic center is probably pretty darn close to the weighted center. They didn't just start and then create stores in every major metropolis overnight. I
