Looking at your site (static/welcome), some more thoughts: 1. where's the FB "Like" button? I see the Google +1 prominently displayed, but no Like button. Make it as easy as possible for people to share your site. 2. in my opinion there

I think the key in #1 and #2 is to give the blogs an incentive to mention you, if you do a simple press release, there is no incentive there- if you offer to write a meaningful post, they'll be more likely to respond. Everyone needs good c

Quit law school in California, got accepted into a tech masters program in Scotland and moved there, returned to California almost 2 years later. Best choice I've ever made.

raivo: I don't think you need to explain that you won't spam us. If you decide to give an example email, make sure an "Unsubscribe" link is clearly visible somewhere in the email. That will help build trust. I would also be curious as to

Good idea. Some criticisms about the execution: 1. I'd like to see an example of the email. 2. Reduce the amount of writing on the landing page. We all know why we should do exercises at work, you really don't need to sell that concept, u

As an organizer of a Meetup group, I can say that your 2nd point is on the money. I had one event where there were just as many sponsor reps as attendees- that felt horrible. I had another where we exceeded seating capacity, ran out of bee

"Freedom" is overrated in this case- I'd feel safer walking down the street in Singapore at 4am than the streets of San Francisco, hell there are streets in San Francisco where I wouldn't feel safe at noon.

I think the reason he was able to succeed was because he was using such a small, non-militaristic plane. I'm sure an invasion force would've been met with much stiffer resistance.
