I don't think they're close to adoption. There are 7Bn phones in the world and growing. Granted a chunk are corporate which won't ever need WhatsApp, but most in third world countries still use burners. And although there is

If he is helping others become happier while not hurting anyone, what harm is there in that? If only everyone would live their lives this way, the world would be a better place.

Curious what this guy is up to, I don't know of anyone who has tried this in Vancouver yet. Particularly odd is the wide net he's casting for "programmers, designers, marketers, and project/business managers" The po

His point about country usage patterns even applies to the US and Canada. I remember in Canada when most of my friends were on ICQ (and the ubiquitious "uh oh!") and then the slow switch to MSN. Yet the majority of my American fri

Ask yourself: Can I go weeks or months without paid work? (risk tolerance as others have mentioned) Do I want to learn about sales & marketing (the learning never stops btw)? Am I comfortable with self marketing? Can I hustle and cold c

I love how you've taken the friction out of the signup process and the preview is great. However I can't use it as because I have the following text on my invoices: 1) In Canada you must include your GST# (looks like "55555 5

I'm in Ecuador and most young people (which is a lot here, the average age is 26) use a combination of Whatsapp, FB and SMS. Ex-pats avoid SMS as they are usually on pay-as-you-go plans on $20 phones. It can't be like this forever

Interesting tidbit: "Almost $10 million of the new funding will go to development of what NPR calls a “seamless local-national listening platform” that will allow listeners to switch smoothly from, say, a clock radio to a web-enabled c

My stupid marketing brain couldn't help but notice there is no mention of the word "chess". Must stop keyword optimizing as I read...

Great story. Uber got shutdown here in Vancouver last November, but I was curious what it looked like. To save you a few clicks: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/uber/id368677368?mt=8

These kind of shady deals can't be good in the long run. If you work at a company that suggests this, make sure to voice your opinion. Someone should start a site that allows users to vote on a software company's trust factor. :)

Agreed. Once this comes to Canada, it'll kill Interac Email Money transfers (of which my plan only allows two free per month, and is not nearly this simple).
