We're in the same boat... submission process is killing me. I wish we could have launched with some of our other iPhone products because right now our company looks pretty riskque... we have a lot more planned completely unrelated to the we

Funny you ask, I integrated AdMob into our mobile site last night... it was painless. We're also integrating it into our physical iphone app but that's still a WIP. I don't have any statistics for you, we just started with AdMob. I really l

think about ways you could market products to your customer base... affiliate sales is an easy way to begin as it doesn't require much time. however you could probably get bigger margins if you handled more of the sales process, but this is

Actually, this service is pretty hot. I just signed up for it and what I really find attractive are the "springpad templates". Pretty cool, keeping an eye on it but not sure I'll integrate it into my daily life yet. Still hooked on OSX stic

I've found CSS frameworks to be great if you have a really deep site with a lot of people working on it. YUI is currently my favorite. Otherwise, most people would probably be better off building their own framework. This tends to work grea

Hmmm, I would be hesitant to say the 'biz guy' isn't valuable at the start. If you're bootstrapping a company and there's 4 of you crammed into a room, it's probably not the time and place for him yet... But, I've seen teams dismantle thems

great stuff in that presentation! what also interested me was the bit on application pricing because that's what I'm struggling with at the moment. do we go the .99 cheapy-route or price at a premium to maintain a status-quo. hmmmmmm

There are two hot beds in the "middle" where you can find strong activity. Austin, TX and Boulder, CO... I live in Austin for it's low cost of living, Univ of Texas resources, Texas' strong economy, and no state income tax. The only thing t

I just don't see advertising revenue scaling and sustaining Fb. They need to generate hard cash, probably something along the lines of a subscription-based. Perhaps they should consider making Fb apps relevant again, except structured in a

LinkedIn uses the framework on their site, and they gave a number of great reasons why. http://yuiblog.com/blog/2008/06/05/implementation-focus-link...

I doubt the bottom will come till next year my friend, so buy incrementally. And I feel the Christmas season will be a fluke of optimism, however the news media may spin in into a the Nightmare Before Christmas... markets are random, probab

Wow, what a champ! Put that capital into a fund that will be redistributed to music education when he dies. No interest in material wealth... keeps his life simple, focused, and open.

Marketing vs. engineering is a common issue within a company and coming out of a failed startup - NOT marketing enough was part of the problem. The product did not sell itself, and many engineers mistakenly believe their product is simply t

Just got back from the Rackspace Cloud event in Austin and was pleasantly surprised to say the least. Lanham (CEO) came by and talked with us at length... very genuine about delivering a fanatical experience for Mosso, and it's very evident

Yes, I do remember why Windows beat Mac 10-20 years ago, but I also look at why Mac is challenging Windows today. And don't forget who reinvigorated this mobile ballgame last year. Your average consumer wants something that does a few thing

As an update to this, Backtype integrated perfectly but I had to make some minor faux hacks in the db for the visuals to work properly. The only minor glitch I see is that Backtype isn't parsing character spacing or line breaks properly. h

The easier it looks, the harder it is. If clean aesthetic was that easy, there would be more Apple's and fewer poor attempts. But there's not. That said, let's see some links to your work. :)

Pretty good idea and easy to monetize if people actually purchase through your site. I see this being less than 5% tho. The logo concept is ok I suppose, but the overall presentation of your brand (logo+site) will significantly impact adopt

I agree... that blog post came off a bit arrogant and naive TBH. It doesn't sound like Jason has an ounce of experience outside of 37signal's success. On the flipside, I've seen wayyy to many inexperienced but well-funded companies burn thr

I'm not going to make a comment on whether or not FB can be profitable... but here is some doom and gloom comedy if you believe we're in a monsoon of a shit storm: Employers will cut staff, trim the fat, and leave only the super productive.
