I would also like to know about this. Their solution looks great! But I'd want to ensure that if this company goes under, or if it doesn't do what it promises, there's a way for me to get ALL of my data (subscribers, past payments, other de

I'm sure Adobe is working on HTML5 tools. But, It must cost them a fortune to support Flashplayer (which they give away for nothing) The cost of supporting the free Flashplayer is paid for by the lock-in that this enables. Afterall, Dream

Completely agree! Let's say the author got 20c clicks. So, for $20, he got 100 clicks. And these clicks were divided among 4 names. This is obviously not statistically significant data.

Off topic, but I think you'll appreciate this: Affect is a verb (Housing bubbles affect so much of the economy), and effect is a noun (The effect of the housing bubbles is so much). My poor formula to remember that effect is a noun: Remembe

I think the analogy was "meh" at best. For those of us who have any technical background, the wikipedia explanation is not bad: "Map" step: The master node takes the input, partitions it up into smaller sub-problems, and distributes those t

I agree with the idea in general. However, there are many cases where companies would (and should) hire people from outside their direct network. One is if the company is growing too fast (People in the direct network may be very busy &

Nope. Disruptive technologies generally serve underserved parts of the market (often those who can't afford the current solution) by providing a good enough solution. Then with scale and time, the disruptive technology matures enough to rep

@locopati You are right. The difference is in where people draw the lines. @travisp I've heard this logic before. Your girlfriend perhaps eats beef. Ask her to take a chainsaw and chop a cow for her next meal. She'll tell you how the two th

Completely disagree! How can a polite "How are you?" seem dishonest to you? And how's that worse than an indifferent person on the counter who's not smiling? I'm also an Indian (been in US for 7 years now) and sometimes a smile from a stran

CPA is certainly lower risk than others. The only minor issue that I can think of is that you (as an advertiser) essentially push the risk to the publisher. So, the big publishers won't be interested in this model. They don't control your c

Not bad for 10 days work. Just one small comment -- lose the song in the video. It's distracting. Use a simpler background music that sets the mood, but doesn't keep the viewer from focusing on the value proposition. BTW, what did you use t
