Hmm...I would say my experience has been the opposite, and in Tokyo, 2kyuu is rather closer to the high end of the spectrum. When I first came to Japan, I basically didn't speak any Japanese, but managed to get a job as a software developer

You're right on these points. Mixi is basically the same from a functionality perspective, and what kind of activities they perform. However, there is a nuanced difference with the degree of sharing. Also, Japanese who have been abroad defi

But for only $29/month you can. How much is your time worth? If the service saves you even an hour per month, surely it is worth it.

If your a developer for Apple, presumably you are selling your apps through the app store. Apple get's a cut of the revenue for apps. So if it was worthwhile to have a more complicated DRM scheme, wouldn't Apple provide it?

On the other hand, I think fair amount of Japanese will be satisfied with this, and even like Groupon more than before the incident. It looks like similar to apologies done by Japanese executives, though Mr. Mason did not do deep bow. ht

We started going down the whitelabeling path with Doorkeeper, but ran into the issue that we were competing for mindshare with the whitelabeled version. I'd be interested to hear how you plan to approach the whitelabeling of Appointment Re

In the video, from the time you answered the call, until the voice started, it took 5 seconds. If that's normal for the system, I'd be worried my clients would hang up before hearing appointment reminder.

They're harder to deploy than PHP but easier to deploy than Rails, in my experience, depending heavily on how experienced you are at administering systems and how much Java enterprise coffee you want to drink. Have you tried Phusion Passe
