So... In 2 days, I was in Inferno. That was not the intention of the game designers. I never bought ingame currency, but I know the laws of supply and demand and dealt with the game accordingly. If you're telling me that I should'

I had a bunch of toons at level 97; the last 3 levels have the same experience requirement as the first 96, so it's a lot of work to get to 99. The problems with D3 are manifold, but they all, at least to my mind, come back to wanting

I'd argue the difference is how the complex ecosystems handled parasites. On the one hand, Blizzard enabled balance-breaking monetization, and TF2 enabled costume-breaking monetization. Blizzard could've made just as much (or a lo

So, I have a bit of a personal episode here I'd like to share. I played a lot of Diablo 2, more than I care to admit, and so the launch of Diablo 3 was a really big deal to me. I pre-ordered it on day 1, I pre-installed the game weeks

Goldbely is a logistics company. While it's true they're doing food, logistics of this nature could be applied to other fields pretty easily. The hardest part is setting up initial distribution and sourcing; once that's done,

As a marketer, my view on content is that there are three necessary elements: 1) Quality/On-Topic 2) Correctly Timed with current events 3) Luck It's actually quite similar to startups in general when you think about it.

Interesting. Could you please tell me what you like about it? I have very mixed feelings leaning towards unpleasantness (where the hell is CC and why does it take more than one click?).

So this is obviously a problem, right? We had MagicScroll [0] which got a ton of positive hits, and now this. I believe there have also been a few other attempts along the way as well. The crux of the issue is velocity+comprehension. I don&

Getting an MMSC exposed from a network operator is a nigh-impossible task (source: I'm a telecom junkie). The MMSC infrastructure is unnecessarily complex and, for some ungodly reason, is seen as a proprietary network advantage. Your b

To be frank, that has a lot to do with the shifting Australian regulatory conditions, specifically deregulation. Your fixed line services, at the national level, are still relatively small. What you're referring to is what we call Last

Sigh. My office plays League of Legends regularly. It's quite a fun game. This, however, isn't fun at all. Is it just a fact of doing business in the modern internet age that everyone can and will eventually be pwned? The best par

Once upon a time I was a pretty hardcore salesperson. Now I just yell at people until they buy things, but I digress... The key to being successful as a salesperson is the same as the keys to being successful in life: * Be Humble * Be Under

Great article full of helpful info. The main takeaway for marketers who don't have the scale of content that RapGenius has should be this: content is king. Long form content is back and making stuff people want to read is more importan

I doubt anyone knows max cps numbers on any platform. It's usually a question of adding more servers until the software breaks, but there are lots of strategies. It always comes back to design. Thanks for sharing :).

Plivo is cool, they iterate fast and they're doing some serious stuff in the industry. Respect from a fellow telecom geek :). Quick question for Be: do you guys support IP auth or User/Pass auth or both?

When you say high number of calls per second, what are you referring to... There are people in our industry that think high is 30 and there are people who think high is 10000. Can you give an order of magnitude?

Thanks for the reply. One word of caution: not all aggregators are equal. I've had experiences where aggregators had their master aggregator change their rate to a particular destination and that aggregator then had to 3x their rates t

Awesome! Thank you so much :). Can you tell me a bit about what your experience setting up the direct connections was like? Frankly, I do this for a living and I'm curious what it's like for others. Dealing with global carriers is

Hi! Thanks for submitting this. I'm a big telecom geek and I am curious about your connection to the phone network (specifically, how are you enabling these SMS to actually go out?). Is this sitting on top of something like Twilio, or

In other societies, what you're referring to might be called an Ombudsman, or in our judicial system, a district attorney. There is no such counterpoint in government, save our elected officials. Specifically, the reason the Commander

Kevin Rose is a smart guy. As an aside, I had the pleasure to meet him at Disrupt in 2010 right after the launch of Digg v4. It struck me as an incredibly interesting moment in time (to set the stage, Digg had just flattened their site, rem
