Imagining myself as a restaurant owner, I'm confused as to how this would integrate with my existing website. Does it replace it? How do people get to the mobile version? I suspect you have plans to move to the desktop web, too -- seems lik

I used to work at a company where we used this method to tackle especially complex or politically sensitive issues. I have to say it was really effective at pull everyone together to have a constructive conversation. I wouldn't recommend it

It's awesome to see that more people are biking and walking, and that the government is spending money on programs to encourage this behavior. However, this is essentially chart junk. The time spacing is not consistent, which makes comparin

Other than things mentioned here, we use an in-house graphing solution built on top of Postgres and custom views. This is great because we log almost everything and it's easy to join across users, etc. Tableau also seems fairly promising, t

The major difference seems to be platform. Xobni works with Outlook, eTacts is for Gmail. I suspect the two will have a lot of duplicated functionality.

This sounds all too much like Craigslist's free section. Where's the differentiation? Emailing stuff in is nice, but the market is really dominated by CL (plus CL is completely free for stuff like this), so honestly I'm not sure how this id

While I understand that it might sound luxurious, having the whole team at the office for the entire day really helps with communication and productivity. And the cost is a fraction of what we might be spending on take-out or catering. We a

Good point. For what it's worth, I've done a little bit of work with the Bump team. Given their talent and technology backend, I suspect it's very unlikely that they've ever made a mistake. Also, they user is always prompted, "are you sure
