   Blendle.com is a notable competitor here. Initially started out with a pay-per-article model, but now moved to a Spotify model as you mention.

   This makes a lot of sense, and I've recently experienced the same thing. You start out with a blank canvas, everything's easy, you can code what you want and you move fast. As your product evolves, so does its complexity. Suddenly

   I just did a project on this, but for Bitcoin instead of stocks where I examined news, Reddit, forum (Bitcointalk.org) and IRC sentiment using some simple ML algos. The goal was to determine whether this data has any predictive causality. I

   I created something similar yesterday afternoon [0]. Instead of opening a new tab, it just requests pages through a hidden iFrame and drops the headers so the request goes through. It doesn't click on anything, because it would be awkw

   I think the idea has potential. Maybe you should rethink the way feedback is provided. If I understand the idea correctly, it gives the 'customers' a choice between two products. When doing customer research you should never ask suggestive

   Well said. It does indeed promote buying, but only of products that are well designed (both in form and function), products that hopefully delight their purchasers and make their lifes a little easier. There's something to be said for both

   Thanks! You are right, I should add some kind of description. A title and an image don't quite cut it when trying to give a good impression of the product. And more importantly for this kind of site, explain why the product has been curated

   I think you misunderstood (which I figure is a fault on my part). The product on the frontpage is what has been curated today. But this made me think of something else; I should probably add product descriptions.

    It's nice to experiment with these techniques, but in my opinion it fails as a practical way to quickly provide the visitor with the information they need. From a visual point of view, something like http://pitch.csspiffle.com/ provides a

    Ha, I know. I wasn't stating my own opinion there though. Adding in a server-side check seems to be the only way to solve this (Note: My knowledge on this subject is limited), but doing so removes the advantage they have, which is the easy

    Last time I checked this actually worked in production as well, as the values are changed before the form is submitted and no data is pulled from a server to validate. So SimpleCart should be used for low traffic websites, where orders are

    You could look around the design communitites such as Forrst and Dribbble to find someone whose design you like. I have no insights in their rates or your budget though.

    Criteria like age, location, education, interests etc. You can see the entire list when creating a Facebook ad: http://www.facebook.com/ads/create/ . But the advertisers don't get to see what belongs to who, unless someone clicks on an ad

    I don't believe that people will stop using social networks, it may just be in a different form than it is now. People have the need to stay connected and see what other people are doing with their lives, and share pictures or information w

    Grey background, not enough shine on the phone, English apps on a Swiss page, slider doesn't have the right effect, I believe there is also no mention of 3G or 4G on the specs page. And last but not least, the first second of the video sho

    I know of someone who is currently developing something like that. Should be done by mid september.

    I had this idea last year but dismissed it, since I though search engines already used this. Makes me want to hit myself.

    First off I wanted to say that you have a great site, and is very easy to use, nice work! It has always been though to get media attention overseas (atleast for me). But why not build your empire in Europe first and get satisfied customers
