You might also consider putting a "reliability" index next to the users name and allowing users to sort by this index. So if a user often fails to have their calendar up to date they would have a low score. This would be an incentive for th

It's easy to look at the problem with Craigslist and think that to challenge it you should build something which does everything that Craigslist does. AirBNB is a competitor to Craigslist in that it is helping to take it apart piece by pie

You need to get in touch with an account manager. They're actually really easy to deal with if you know the right combination of words, as with most things. We managed to get a clients FB page vanity URL switched from an old page to a new p

I'm seeing a lot of negativity around this launch from people asking the question "how is this different from x, y and z". My personal opinion is that you don't need to be that different in terms of functionality if you can make a differenc
