So what kind of conversion rate are you seeing from visitors on that page?
332.
by martinkallstrom 16y ago
Very cool. Perhaps a relevant question for the ones of you that have done actual A/B-runs: Is it your experience that a larger or more prominent button "always" increases conversion rate? Is there any counter examples?

Hi, valid questions. FF support could be added with a few hours of work, it is simply not done (yet). The request for local storage is strange, to my knowledge there is nothing in the app that should cause it. I'll have a look and see what

Hi, thanks for posting this! Was just going to post myself to ask for feedback. Twingly Liveboard is an HTML5 web app aggregating users, mentions, hashtags, links etc in everything posted on Twitter in a combination of search terms. Far fro

My bad for reading the post wrong in this regard.

I think this is awesome, can't wait to try it out. Especially for writing apps that can run in desktop mobile webkit adobe air. Ditto the comment on node.js integration. Need to wrap my head around this.

This is an important lesson for any startup. Don't rely on free services, insist that you pay for them and set up an agreement. But it is also a lesson from the other end. Twilio would probably not have done this lightly. By not offering ag

Looked through the post but couldn't find any information on the price fixing mechanisms they're using for these deals. Normally it would be secret meetings in restaurants but I assume the trend as we go ahead will lean more towards secret

This is a fact: My sister is chronically early. She often winds up arriving to meetings and places about 10-20 minutes ahead of the agreed time. The consequence is hers the bear: she always has to wait for other people, even those arriving

Perhaps the same way dyslectics (sp?) are inconsiderate by always being unable to spell correctly. From time to time, it would be acceptable. Consider that for the person that is always late, it is probably a bigger problem than for you. Sh

No, not as far as I know from the people I know that are in that situation. Of course there are some things you have to deal with, but they are more than bearable.

Sometimes it also helps having an accurate mental model of yourself. Not as common as one could assume.

The point is that you will also very often see your drawing getting roundedly ass-kicked without being able to do anything about it. In the demo movie you showed I was deeply rooting for the gullible girl with huge arms but had to see her g

Absolutely agree. Once I even happened to ignore a nutcase that approached me somewhat awkwardly in the street, not because I was uncomfortable but simply because I assumed she was on headset making a call.

OP says you need to make a new decision worth $200 every month for KISSmetrics to be worthwile. This isn't true, it suffices to at one point make a single decision that on average will make you $200 per month for the tool to have paid itsel

Hi, thanks for the excellent feedback. Pics and vids are next up, via oEmbed. I agree there is much to be done about the layout. The noisy items in the right hand column are going at the bottom of the channel. As for the selection of channe

Hi thank you for the input! It is greatly apreciated and I think it is given that we should address your concerns in the FAQ. Twingly actually comes from being a search engine for blogs, now moving into the social news space. You can try th

My general mindset about programming languages is that it doesn't matter much what toolset you use as long as it is one you know in and out. Still, for some reason I personally wouldn't consider using Java for any programming task, ever. An

Except that it will not be an implant because individual neurons in the brain have an irritatingly low bandwidth of only a few bits per sec. Instead it is much cheaper and hassle-free to use the firehose connection that already exists into

It seems your philosophy is more along the lines of "Be so loud they cant ignore you" :)

Interesting interface, but they call data sets of "hundreds of thousands - maybe even millions" items "massive". Ridiculous.

For great ideas about how to do PR, look at what Pingdom does. They are extremely good at getting their name thrown around by releasing reports about interesting stuff noone else cares to measure.
