For hotels, we do get Orbitz inventory, but we also have a number of direct relationships. As you know, hotels are much happier to do business with people like us because they're not perpetually going out of business. We've experimented wit

1) Not sure what you're basing this claim on, but it's false. 2) To each his own, I suppose, but I have conflicting anecdotal evidence. Hipmunk passes the "parents test" with all of our parents :) And as for "people who spend big bucks book

Price increases? We should have the same fares as everyone else online.

Have an example? We should have the same fares as pretty much everyone else. There are some holes, but none in the US to my knowledge.

#1 We do our best to mitigate this. Unfortunately, it's also the nature of the business. Availability is constantly changing. What's really mindblowing is that Orbitz will often have flights in their own results that will error out. This

Yeah, well, who are we to turn down great coverage?

We'd prefer someone locally, but we realize we can't always have everything we want.

Basically, we want someone who actually has Android experience. If that person does not exist, we'll have to manufacture our own Android experience, which will take longer.

If anything, it's the opposite. The first time around I felt I had nothing to lose, but this time there is a lot more pressure. The main difference is I don't feel I have to force myself to work as much. If I'm going to be sitting in front

They cannot keep me logged in for more than a few minutes. They charge a ridiculous fee for texts. You can't give multiple people access to your account, which is really important given we use Pingdom to notify multiple people... If someone

Dammit! Pingdom is so bad it hurts. Please, somebody, replace them. The only thing worse than public transit in SF is Pingdom.

That's a bit of a stretch... That "reddit is under heavy load" page is an abomination.

Maybe? There's something to be said for memcache's simplicity, however.

We don't have Emirates at the moment. We should have the same prices as everyone else in the US, but we're still growing our international coverage.

by spez 16y ago
Yeah, I hear you. If you can tell me the specific flight, I can probably explain. At this point, our prices should match.

The cost of just existing in this space is very high, let alone competing in it. We're a small operation now, but we've got a long way to go, and it won't be this way for long.

That may have been a fluke. Delta wasn't listed on Hipmunk for a day or so.

Well, we have zero interest in selling for $10 million.

I really hate the way other sites have hidden calendars that pop-up. They all try to be too smart about it, and often ends up with me switching back and forth between mouse and keyboard. IMHO, some guy had a bad idea 10 years ago about how

One requires significantly more overhead. Also, the whole thing about submitting, voting, and commenting came much later. Reddit didn't even have comments for the first 5 months or so.

Actually, if reddit is truly self-sufficient, it's a relatively new development. Reddit was bought four years ago, and repeatedly told to not worry about money for the first 2.5 of those years and was accordingly not self-sufficient.

Yes, you can share the URL of the results page* *The results are stored in memcached and last ~24 hours. This will improve in the future.

We know how. It's just a matter of getting things together with our data providers.

Yes... right now you can just replace those inputs. It doesn't require any extra clicking or typing.
