Anyone here get resistance from your sales people when trying to get them to use CRM? If so, how did you overcome it? At my company people basically refuse to do it, saying it turns them into a data entry person instead of a salesperson.

You could also chalk this up to a global asset bubble. With all of these federal banks trying to keep interest rates down, money needs to be gambled on riskier investments in order to get any return. That's why it's now plausible

Amazon can re-target better than Google because they know about some products you browsed on Amazon.com? Google has your entire search history, click through history, ad-interaction history and a ton of other data to target you.

Well Google still has the dominant search traffic and that's where the text ads with real intent behind them get shown and clicked on so this isn't going to do much. And as far as people doing product searches on Amazon.com, it&#x

So your software can get disrupted if you don't continually re-invent to it keep up with the times. Your social network or social app is actually way more fickle and less defensible than he thinks. Think about precursors to Facebook li

Why is this big news? I haven't had a blue screen of death in like 5 years--which I think is pretty average.

Anyone care to share their experience with Sift Science? How well does it actually work for you? I have been integrating it for a day or so. The documentation is slightly confusing and they've had a few minor bugs in their UI, but supp

What a troll you are. 1) What is your system of measuring this? This may be because 99% of what you need to develop a very fully featured app is already in the base .NET frameworks. So there is rarely need for 3rd party libraries unless ver

"SEO-driven businesses are super fun to work on and run" Until they're not. I think this is true when you run one of these as a hobby and you look it as getting something for nothing. If you make your livelihood doing it and

This is very cool. As a merchant the idea of accepting a bunch of bitcoin and then seeing it's price plummet is a pretty scary. Not to mention the idea of managing all my bitcoin securely is also scary. If I can accept Bitcoin and it&#

What does this have to do with MMA? The great thing about MMA is that you don't need a bunch of protective gear and tech to get an "objective measure of who would have won in a real combat situation". Very often the loser get

You're giving Google's algorithms way too much credit. The exact strategy you described still does work--and that's really the sad part. That's why Google has to have these scare tactics to stop people from doing them. I

You can report them using Google Webmaster tools. I have done this for several sites, but the link buying & ranking within Google continues. The system is broken.

You are very misinformed if you think these strategies do not work. They are a necessity for a startup in very high competition niches. Take a look at the source of the very reputable: www.usatoday.com/sports/ and search for &quot

I feel for Rap Genius. They have a far superior user experience than any other lyrics site out there--but unless they use these tricks they'll never get significant organic Google traffic. The problem is Google's algorithms heavil

Disagree with almost everything this guy wrote. 99% of startups and in house business apps will never need to scale at a level that an RDBMS can't support. We should all be so lucky to have the success that brings these horizontal scal

I have never figured out why iOS converts at a much higher rate than android. Is it just a more affluent customer base?

So I'd have to POST an object that represents a process? It seems like you end up cluttering your code with objects to represent every process? Which in OO programming would just be a method call...

How do you guys deal with "actions" in your API's that are not CRUD? Something like reserving an airline seat where you just want to pass in an id of a seat and a user id. I guess that's what PATCH would be for? I was un

Yikes. I'm generally in favor of web privacy, but with unemployment numbers like theirs, that seems like the last thing Spain needs right now.

So 123 of you (at this moment) just "build something" without reading anything? Like you just open a text editor and the code flows out of your fingertips due to your vast computer science knowledge? Typical HN b.s.

This is a really incredible product. I don't have a kinect, but I have looked at a lot of the API code examples. The API is really powerful and capable of doing a lot of heavy lifting for application developers.

As a Venice local, I wish you guys the best of luck. Here's my observations: a) Those testimonials are obviously fake b) There's an empty blue bar near the top d) Would I get to preview or choose who the dry cleaner is? That's not obvious a
