I'm not even sure what the product looks like. I think it would be helpful if you include a live demo on your website.

@Nitrogen, that sounds like a different issue. But, yes, it could be an issue if you're sending email with confusing subject lines. The comments at the following link show what I'm referring to -- people taking the easy way out: http://ask

Adding a large button to the top would certainly make it easier for those people who open the emails and want to unsubscribe. And I wouldn't worry about the increase in unsubscribers. I'd rather help people unsubscribe than have them mark m

Yes, the unsubcribe link does work. I think the problem is that people are not interested in purchasing the product, so they mark the "your trial is ending" email as spam because it's easy to do. I don't think most people understand the neg

The link is extremely easy to find. It's the only link that appears at the bottom of my emails. Checking the box in my Gmail inbox and clicking the "Spam" button is much easier than opening the email and hunting down the unsubscribe link.

Do you have any trouble with people reporting your drip emails as spam? I found that some people are reporting emails instead of clicking the unsubscribe link. Unfortunately, many email clients make that button more convenient than tracking

If they are like me, they didn't use Netflix much and it just became an unnecessary expense. For those who use Netflix on a daily basis, I think the new price is still fair.

Ford Explorers (and possibly other) have adaptive (automated) cruise control. It's not really scary at all because it measures the distance between your car and the car in front of you, and determines the proper speed to drive. It's no diff

What about looking up consumers via email address instead? Some consumers would get around that by using a different email address, but I bet the majority of consumers consistently use the same email address when making purchases online.

$8/month seems like a fair price to me when taking into consideration the problem you're solving. Maybe try running a special on AppSumo.com. I'm sure a majority of their users are in your target audience.

HeyWire doesn't seem to offer an SMS API. If they did that for free, I'm sure they would be out of business in no time flat.

What's with the constant reminder that it was "built in 8 hours"? Is that to warn me that it's really buggy or are you trying to impress me?

Thanks for clearing that up. I was starting to think my iPad was going to cook me dinner quickly. That is surely an item on the iPad 3 feature list.

"your original comment treated the statement "no one needs" as if he were saying "there's no value in"" And that isn't what I was saying either. Some people really do need a portable device like an iPad. However, as this article points ou

"you'll surely use your oven instead of the microwave if you're not time-constrained" So, if I'm time-constrained, you're thinking I'm going to type that email on my iPad? Again, this is a bad analogy. I think people really do need tablet

"He even makes a nice little Microwave-to-Oven analogy." (TomOfTTB) The microwave-to-oven analogy doesn't make much sense. Do you think most people are sitting beside their desktop/laptop while they use their iPad/tablet? I love my iPad,

What happens if someone bypasses your client library in the APK file? Also, will the application fail to launch if it cannot reach androidlicenser.com (or wherever it goes) to verify the user when the app is launched?

Out of sight, out of mind. And put your phone in silent mode if you don't want to hear it. It's all about self control. If someone does not have that, then maybe a cell phone really isn't for them.
