Banning guns will require a change in the constitution, and will likely never happen as a result. In addition, even if it did happen, it would likely be unpopular because of the demand side as you mention. That being said, the argument(s) f

True, but probably >200 of those companies are still active, and its only been 7 years. Would you bet that that 20X return so far is going lower?

We released Android a couple weeks back and we're already seeing as many conversations come in through the app, as we see through the web. We're releasing the iPhone app today, and more stuff in the coming weeks!

Curiously enough, I recently (within the last month) emailed Kayak with a query, and Paul answered. Turnaround time: 54 minutes. So he's still doing some customer service, at least a little bit. It is really seriously impressive.

I don't buy this. Apple was pushing HTML5 as an alternative to flash. Definitely true. Apple has no preference for HTML5 as an alternative to native iOS. Native is simply faster, and better on iOS, and as long as Apple continues to have de

Thanks for pointing that out - will fix. We're focused on mobile - we dont intend to do live chat for web. Olark does a good job at it (as do a few others). We built Hipmob to scratch our own itch, and I suspect we wont be the only ones . .

Apologies for that - we're hard at work on iOS. Shoot me a line at ayo@hipmob.com and we'll send a beta pack to you once its ready (should be a couple of weeks). Also would love to hear what features you'd like to see . . .

We love Olark, it works on our browser, and we built Hipmob to do the same thing for users in our mobile app.
