Yeah, that's kind of what I'm getting at. Sometimes it involves tasting, but not normally.

The statement about wine buying being part of the fun is the crux of the issue. I'm not into wine but I am into whiskey, and rather than buy from an online merchant, I much prefer walking into the local shop and getting a recommendation.

We run our company using Linode as one of our primary providers. We're very, very happy with their uptimes, control panel, and particularly their support. It's a testament to their professionalism that they've been going about these prett

This article could be retitled to "Why Fox News and Right Wing Talk Radio is so Effective". Injecting constant insults and rage into commentary is the secret ingredient.

I think one thing to remember when joining a company, particularly one of the higher profile startups that raise huge sums of money is that values really matter. Not mission statement values, but the actions that are consistently taken on a

Hey there - thanks for the response, but I've already wasted at least 15-20 hours over the last year communicating with Rackspace techs, management, and senior management (so I'm told). If you truly believe you can actually do something t

We've had an absolutely horrible experience with Rackspace (managed, managed cloud, and unmanaged cloud). I think Rackspace has seen their day come and go (used to be a very loyal customer) and are really struggling. Their tech is old and

For me, it's not so much that the profanity is offensive or anything - I have what many might consider to be a fairly dirty mouth. It's that their usage of profanity is lame. They're trying to be cool and funny, and it's very much neither

This analysis is wrong. Or at least missing a lot of data. I personally posted jobs from Edinburgh, Scotland on the Who's Hiring thread of the month (and ended up making two hires from it) in 2012. My most recent post on Who's Hiring was

This is a great way to make lemonade out of the lemon of getting hosed by a lot of traffic. Write an informative post-mortem and resubmit! I know I missed the original submission and clicked through to the site, and there you have it. I'

What a smart marketing tactic (that paid off in a sales win too) to just throw everything into the proposal and kill it. Very smart, and it speaks volumes about the organisation.

Man, I really thought that the OP was using a bit of hyperbole on the Divio proposal, but holy shit - that is the single best presented and thought out proposal I have ever seen. I'm sure they went a bit above and beyond due to the high pr

Everyone is missing the point of this product. It's not to stop wifi stealing - that's the marketing department badly trying to make the product easier to sell and the blog being lazy. The reason you'd buy this is to keep the radio spectru

We've had a great experience with Linode, horrible with Rackspace. Rackspace London is a disaster - I'd stay far away from them if possible.

Look, his post may be insightful and interesting, but the point is that if any other startup on here spent post after post publicly criticising their direct competitor, it would hopefully be viewed as a negative thing. Why is App.net any d

I hate to be that (negative) guy, but I'm starting to get really tired of Dalton constantly pissing all over twitter. Particularly because he's competing against them. I'm an App.net backer, and I think it's cool what he's doing, but FFS,

We've been interviewing candidates to join our team for a few months, and I've also lent some interviewing support to other startups in our area. I've noticed a trend across about 20+ candidates, all of whom are smart people: people are usi

Recently there was an article floating around where a VC asked why there aren't more B2B startups. This mindset is why - there's simply no way you can grow at these rates in the early days with most B2B products, particularly the ones in v

Two others already responded but I'll echo them. Office space in the city centre of Edinburgh and Glasgow is remarkably cheap and plentiful. Living costs are very low (even in these cities) for what you get compared to the suburbs in the

This is the other side of for-profit education, something that's been turned into a bit of a dirty phrase (not without reason in a lot of cases). The fact is non-traditional education that costs money and provides great results is alive in

I have a lot of respect for the people at Lanyrd for one simple reason - I was going to signup for them but realised that they only supported Twitter authentication in the early days. They were asking for permission to do all kinds of thin

I was really blown away by how awesome the BBC's coverage was. You could watch every event, live and delayed, and they would even bookmark the live stream as you watched it (and preserved for replays) with event markers. This was particul
