Seconding "How to Win Friends and Influence People". Took me a while to read it because the title was a big turn-off, but it's not as manipulative as it sounds. The audio book is great if you commute to work. Sometimes I would listen to a c

Some of the tools in the article are enabling businesses to capture new types of data by making data collection & analysis cheaper and easier. For example, user interactions in an app. User interactions can happen hundreds of times per

did you tell him that his voice is distracting? I didn't find out that my conference calls annoyed my coworkers until our annual anonymous survey. Wish I'd known sooner so I could have adjusted by behavior.

Thanks! Great ideas. We do have funnels via API but not visualizations for them yet. We're going to build them into our javascript SDK so you can easily build them into your apps.

hehe. this particular post wasn't planned, since we didn't know that the twitter thing was going to be successful. however, we have an overall mindset that sharing our learnings on our blog is a good idea since we are interested in working

We've just started trying out adwords and have a bunch of different phrases. Analytics backend wasn't one of them, so I just added it. Thanks for the tip! Looks like avg CPC for adwords is $0.58, but we've only gotten a few clicks so far an

The only negative tweet (which was't even negative) was: "@keen_io Don't worry, I don't click on link bait. Tell me what you do if you want your product and not just name get my attention." He was friendly. We tweeted back an forth and turn

In my previous job I asked my dev lead from Mumbai to help me with interviewing candidates to join us on a project here in California. On a conference call with a female interviewee, he asked if she was married. He hadn't asked the previous

Wow. Getting divorced seems rough enough already; sucks to be judged unemployable on top of that.

tptacek, whenever I read your stuff, I think "he gets it". I bet stable founders have more stable relationships with their SO's. Dave Ramsey writes about how his company uses dinners with spouses as a part of their interview process. They w
