Just saw this post about our startup, I'll clarify some things since some people seem interested. RubyPay was a points based payment system for digital content that anyone could use. Points were bought for cash, and redeemable for cash. It

Subscriptions are not available yet, but they will be in a few weeks. Just to clarify, the user does not pay per click, but rather per link. If a user has already paid for a link, clicking the link a second time will forward the user to t

1) Change the name of Microsoft Security Essentials so people will have an easier time finding it and knowing what it does. Market it better, while keeping it free. 2) Have more free options available for small businesses and teams runnin

Are you doing a lot of on-the-fly processing of the images? Seems like they're the reason the site is slow. I think things could be improved with better caching (server and client side with http headers).
