When I see a major corporation launch an ad as childish and desperate looking at this, I only think one thing: they're scared, desperate, and running around trying to figure out why things aren't looking so good on the road ahead. I truly c

Everybody I've talked to feels that faded overlays (#5 on this list) are super annoying from a user experience perspective. And I agree. Everybody I've talked to says their data shows faded overlays are VERY effective at increasing email s

Woot! We've been a beta tester of LaunchBit for a while now and their team has been super communicative. Excited to see them continue to evolve!

Agreed. There are a lots of companies tackling this problem, for all sorts of niche solutions (texting students to remind them of homework, restaurants texting customers that their table is ready, etc.)

I enjoy that he didn't start in SF and am sad he's considering moving the show there. It's great to discover entrepreneurs beyond the usual suspects in the usual ecosystems. There's more to success in this industry than the valley.

I've noticed this more and more too. Blogs often have the same design/layout as the actual site, but when you click on the company logo in the top left, it links to the blog home page, not the company site home page. Hate that!

So Canada has this option, and a commenter above said Germany does. Why does the US not have this? What's even sadder is I cannot fathom how you guys have this option. The US has literally grown up with junk mail - it's always about 99% o

Extreme financial risk might or might not kill people. Space shuttles exploding will definitely kill people. We're human. Fellow humans died in this pursuit of space exploration. Is it inevitable? Maybe. Probably. Does it still hurt? H

I agree about the anecdotes. I'm sure the experiences are varied. I'm thinking more big picture. How much mail will my 17 month old send or receive via the postal service when he's in junior high? High school? College? I see the USPS be

I'm aware of the government requirements on USPS but I believe that's irrelevant. The USPS would still be in the decline it is today regardless of whether or not they had to stash away all that money today, 5 years from now, or never. It's
