youth early adopter segment in general are using tumblr a lot. In fact the way I see the usage on there is reminiscent to early facebook / myspace. Active sharing, friending and following pre spam, corporate/ad influences.

By the time you finish you're alternative and get out your service, Facebook is not going anywhere. Just integrate it. Whats it matter.. in dev time should not make a big difference if you're accounting for both paths.

I actually think it has made the discourse worse, in that we are getting only the cookie cutter replies, of nice article and good job type comments. As much as everyone hates trolls, they do bring up good point sometimes regardless if you

If you're building it you should believe in the product or at least understand the problem you're trying to solve. If you can't see the value in your product then how do you convince others.

What have you done to get your apps noticed on the app store ?

If you expect to only do things for your employees that get them to sit at there desk longer to work more, then its probably not right for you. Yeah perks are good, but good fun and camaraderie in a startup is invaluable.

If you have some gamers , lan parties during work hours is always fun, maybe combining it with the beer fridays. We would bring in Xbox's sometimes as well and play multiplayer on there. Plus its a team building exercise. Do it once in aw

I also am in the camp of owning a tablet and using it very little if hardly ever. I also own smart phone and kindle. Mainly use the smart phone for browsing web,checking email, listening to music on the go, and keep it near me in the hous

Well don't discount the PR and hype. Reputation plays a huge factor on a service like this. Yes, hard work and persistence is the real factor of this success.

Not to marginalize these guy's success in any way, but being part of the winter 09 ycombinator class probably helped in a big way (right around time of their major bump)

after working in a hospital and seeing older doctors hire people just to answer and reply emails.. I think this market assumption may be correct.

Android can be very customizable fromt the home screen launchers to the home screen widgets. I think people that repeat what you're saying don't go into the level of customization that is available.

how did you get initial traction to the site ?

it would be disappointing if these companies don't stand together and stand firm. If everyone moves over to the other platforms, people will come.

I thought of doing a similar startup. The biggest issue asked from us was what kind of filters do you have as to not allowing junk get through to these professionals that's time is very valuable ( lawyer, accountant, investor )?

I don't know why samsung went with a 7" vs 10" but it makes a huge difference. In comparison its like carrying around a big hardcover book vs a paperback book. Watching youtube and stuff on it is fine, I don't find a huge difference. The
