Hey guys. I'm nearly done hacking up a simple tool that lets me easily stay on top of the social feeds of people I care about without having to filter through everyone else's updates. Basically, I've got aggregated Facebook, Twitter, and Tu

The "Follow All" bot strategy seems to be an optional package you can buy. We didn't even know about it until your comment, so it seems to be that you'd be fine as long as you don't opt in to that particular strategy.

Pitching is not the be-all-end-all, and you'll certainly get to a point where it stops being so useful for you (i.e. if you've already determined the reasons why certain people aren't interested in your product, no need to pitch them). We'r

You can get decent data for about $50, but it may take you a few batches to get your questioning and worker filters on just right. I recommend starting with small batches of 20 or less responses, just to test quality (international vs. US o

I highly recommend that for your first set of questions you either use filter surveys (ask for age, location, gender, etc) to target people who are in your target user demographic, or have test questions to make sure they really understood

Twidium is a bit of a skeevy looking tool, I must admit. So far, we've only used it to follow people who have specifically put certain keywords in their tweets or bios, and it has worked well in helping us finding highly engaged consumers.

Have you tried using Compassion Pit? Made by the same guy who made Awesomeness Reminders, mentioned by another commenter. Basically the same concept, just web-only. Could be a cheaper start for gathering a user base and gauging long-term in

A few ideas: show your product to a diverse base of customers to avoid any super-techy or early adopter biases (unless, of course, your product is mostly for them), quantify the findings, and be systematic about improvements. If there are i

Very true, but there's a difference between showing your customers a product and not listening to them. I agree that the first step is pretty scary, esp if you're an introverted engineer who'd rather hide in a cave and code, but the main pr

The entrepreneurs I talked to who were successful in a single founder role were either building low-tech consumer-facing web businesses, or had awesome tech skills and were able to bring on supplementary help at lower equity divisions to be
