   This is actually pretty cool. From what I can gather from the website, this is basically a 150 KB client that can run on the low-power, feature-thin phones common in emerging markets (the kind of phones that cost $10-50 to make and that Nok

   Isn't it more likely that a relative simply requested LinkedIn to delete the account? A LinkedIn account doesn't seem relevant to keep online at all after the person has passed away. Facebook, on the other hand, leaves pages up but with mos

   I definitely think that there's space for both Bitsybox and CushyCMS, but it would be interesting to hear you talk about the differences.

   I'd never heard of Global Gaming Factory X before, but apparently they own both Smartlaunch and CyberCafePro, which are both major products for managing "cyber cafés".

   I'm sorry for being unclear. What I am asking is basically how many calls are generated from posting a phone number on a website, i.e. what percentage of website visitors who will call a phone number provided it is available.

    Washington Times just broke through Safari 4's popup blocker and showed me a _really_ obnoxious ad for an Economist subscription. We're talking 600x400 pixels of #FF0000, flashing.

    The largest study I know of found no increase in oral and lung cancers for snus consumers as compared to nonsmokers who did not use any tobacco. However, the risk for pancreatic cancer is double that of people who do not use snus. Source:

    Looks great. Could you elaborate on how your "automated" plans work? Who does the moderation - are you using Mechanical Turk, outsourced employees, something else? I'd also like to see a "developer" plan, for sites that haven't launched.

    Your reaction to this suggests to me that you may have mistaken what meritocratic and egalitarian mean. People with these qualities do not usually care about things such as ones "pedigree", thus the GP's confusion that hackers look down upo

    Assuming that Foo Inc. has not presented any demands as to when you have to cease control over foo.com, what you want to do is to set up a HTTP 301 redirect to your new domain phoo.com and leave it indefinitely. Human traffic will probably

    From the product tour, this looks like a well-executed product which definitely can bring value to recruiters. Two things stand out to me: 1) charge more per contact or consider a different model, the value you are providing is definitely a

    Thanks! :) There are a few API-type options like Ribbit available for those who like to tinker and we actually considered using one of them first for RoboNOC. However the value-add we're trying to provide is both ease of use but also redund

    Thanks for the feedback. The voice is the synthetic voice which actually does the live calls as well, so if you think that's hard to understand then we need to get that fixed. The authorization message could be clearer, though. It's asking

    Thanks a lot for this feedback. All very good points. Since everything is still very non-final (see points on pricing etc.) the copy isn't as polished as it should be.

    Oh, OK :) Well that is definitely something to add. Please check back tomorrow, or if you'd like me to drop you an email, just send to martin at staff.robonoc.com - Thanks.

    Thanks for your reply. Yes, of course this is possible to do yourself, as is almost anything these days. This is geared towards those who don't feel like setting up their own redundant infrastructure offsite just to make phone calls :)

    Prepaid might work, it is how most external monitoring providers sell their SMS credits. The thing about prepaid though is that the one time something big happens, you've probably ignored the "Please top up" emails all month. If you're havi

    Hey, thanks for your feedback :) Per-call accounts are definitely something to be added. The biggest issue holding that back is getting a payment gateway set up to be able to do ad-hoc debits. Look for a HTTP POST gateway soon - the thing a

    I've turned off the Paypal integration, so you can try the service without having a Paypal account or giving them any CC information. Just sign up for the service and it'll automatically be set as paid up. Please don't abuse :)

    I have to say that I seem to be completely wrong here. Looking through the Internet Archive, with the previous design it used to say: "Anyone can add a company or organization Love a company? Or hate one? Add it to Satisfaction! Is your com
