Thank you for your post as it gives us a much needed dose of realism when everyone dreams of hitting it big. It's not to disuade people from following their dream, but to realize the extent of challenges they will face. I look forward to yo

I actually changed industries (I was a semicondutor design engineer) for learning new stuff in software. I was really worried if people will see this sudden change and gap in my employment as a bad sign. But now I don't really care what the

Google is already trying to increase the share of paid apps in Android market place as it still does not come close to Apple's app store. If they don't concentrate on quality developers, they will find it even more difficult to do so.

Yes, Marcin is doing a very good job and it does look great. But that just means I need to improve and make mine better. I have seen hundreds of ideas already "done". Maybe my website won't be any better than what's already been done by oth

The list of providers on the website is not comprehensive yet. I have a big list of providers offline that I plan to add. I wanted to get the website functional and get some feedback before I go too far. I will make sure that these two are

I completely agree with you. In fact, I use Linode too and am very happy with their service even though there are cheaper options out there. Webeiu supports reviews, but it's difficult to have a lot of reviews when starting out. If there wa

I agree on the "see plan details" part. I wanted to get the site running as quickly as possible, so I did not pay too much attention of adding the plan URLs in my database. For the revenue, I am using the affiliate programs of the hosting

Currently, I am using affiliate programs of the hosting providers for revenue, but I am looking into putting some ads as well. Reliability data of hosting providers is something I definitely want to add. I agree that saving a few dollars sh

I think Groupon's rapid growth was mostly due to fear from competition. They wanted to expand as rapidly as possible because everyone was having their own Groupon-like deals. If something grows so much out of fear (and, of course, greed), y

I hardly read any books in my life. My fiancee at the time (now wife) encouraged me to read some books and recommended The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy to start with. I liked it so much that I am a very regular reader now. After a day o

How do you add the icons and the related information in your database? Do you do it manually? I am always confused about how people manage to put so much of data on the web with inconsistent formats on their website.

I do not agree with this. Even though someone identifies themselves as a programmer, that does not mean they cannot do design. It's just that they haven't tried it yet. That person might turn out to be an even better designer than a program

This is a very niche application. You have to have lost your phone, no one else with their phone is around and you have a computer around. If you are outside, you probably will have an easier time borrowing someone's phone than their comput
