Thank you for this. Perhaps it's early, but the fact that the site is a parody wasn't initially obvious... I was thinking it was just another start-up with a snarky copy writer.

I don't see mention of GMail integration on the site, and when I click "Get Started" or "My Files" it takes me to Facebook. So I assume then that Facebook is required, and gmail contact integration is in addition to Facebook contacts. Is t

I've worked at a company that had these deployed. They were actually quite nice. In the rare event they failed, it was quickly resolved as everyone could see the LED that would turn to green/red/yellow that people nicknamed "the worm". h

Did you read the article? Lucas's post says: "This was really naive and irresponsible of me." That doesn't sound like he's shifting blame to me. You say: "I summarize what went wrong, how it should have been prevented and what steps I will

Thanks for sharing! The apps look great and work like I would expect them to. You've also reinforced the notion that "ideas are worthless, execution is everything". I have had a near mirror of your CashFlow screen on my home office whitebo
