http://www.michaelrobertson.com/archive.php?minute_id=280 I wonder why people vote against flash based voip ? Any explaination to this beside that it's trolling ? I'm asking because we do also dig in this direction. :)

Unfortunetly democracy does not work for big populations and digg.com is best example of it. Once it reachs critical mass we won't be able to police it just by voting, some level of moderation will be needed. The longer we delay the reach t

The guy just complaining, but has nothing to propose. As a hard-core C/C++ programmer I'm sure he knows nothing about development process. He's just an end-user who wants to receive all-perfect device/software with version 1.0 for no money,

It seems, we are pretty close to epoch where C programmer to be treated as assembly guru nowadays who can read machine codes right out of hex dump. Man, learn C/C++ first, I beg you!

I'm feeling happy with what I got by default, i.e IE6 with no plugins :-). PS: Our stats on Google Analytics show that 62% of visitors from US do use FireFox. It's quite surprising to me.

Since Heysan is web-based IM chat, the question is how many page loads each user does per a single session ? I believe it's a couple of thousands, so the overall user-flow is not huge. The other thing is the article states that most users o

Peter, I have some idea on colaboration. In short, we just ran a flash based calling app, we are going to experiment with flash ads. Just for sake of an experiment, we can load your flash clip for a while to see if it gives any results. If

Traffic is not everything. It's much easier to pitch to investors once you are covered by TC or some other "press that matters".

Ok, let me tell you what users actually type. 90% of Joe Random Serfers never type .com, .net or .biz or anything... they just don't have a clue about TLDs, nor what they mean. They just type company/product name right into Google search a

There are a lot many problems, starting from all kinds of frauds and ending with offering $1000 support for each $5 paid, esp if you are in voip industry where connectivity problems happen just out of thin air. If I manage to find a spare m

Maybe you are right and our domain name choice was a failure, but do you really believe that everything in this world depends on just a domain name ? If so, I'm a retard.

Yes, I understand that they want to be the first guy, but I was not able to contact them in any ways before release, so we send PRs through the "standard" channel. And my emails were very short, I can see it quite clear that nobody expects

Have you ever tried to charge end-users ? We are doing this on gtalk2voip.com for past two years. I can tell you it's a bitch! We are trying to get rid of this model soon as possible. I don't advise to any other startup to step into this cr

Right. I read through their news-tip hints, but I still cannot get what it means to "breaking the news through them" ? I send them a couple of tips, a week before the launch, noone responded back. How do you make them responding to your ema

I appreciate your opinion, thank you. The service is ad-supported, so we need to know about user as much as possible to target ads. The ads will be interactive flash applications shown while user is on call. The problem with .com domain is

Agreed. But still, the research sounds pretty interesting, as it brings more possiblities for porting applications between different platforms. With this XMLVM I can imagine a unnified meta platform which allows to run same piece of code on

If your startup is small, not VC funded and knows how to bring in any revenue, it will surely survive. On the opposite, all your competitors who are heavily VC backed will die soon as their money dry out. I hope :-).

It's a wide-spread myth that the weather is cold in Siberia. I do live in Tyumen (West Siberia) and it's +32C here now. So, you cannot save on aircooling. The two more myths are, that wild bears are all leaning around over here and one can

Take a look on Nokia's smart-phones based on Symbian, their GUI is just horrible, it's proprietary and yet it is most popular smart-phone platform in the world. One must be very talanted to design usable GUI nowadays, especially for mobile
