Hello! We would love to tweak our API for this kind of project. When you post a project, we could allow you to submit an array of scripts, thus allowing you to get an individual MP3 file for each entry. Email us at api@voicebunny.com when y

Hello! VoiceBunny co-founder here. We're trying to figure out a way to avoid some talents from abusing the system by having multiple accounts. Forcing them to login with Facebook helped us reduce the abuse. We'll remove the Facebook require

Hi! VoiceBunny co-founder here. Our marketplace is new and the median prices are coming down on a weekly basis as more talents compete for work. Also, you are free to set the prices you want to pay. For ideas like hearablog.com, we are also

Thank you Jayson! You made my day (and the day of our team!) I'm one of the co-founders of Voice123 (and now also co-founder of VoiceBunny). Some of the great talent you can find in Voice123 is also available in VoiceBunny. While Voice123 c

Hello Mat. VoiceBunny co-founder her. We tried to identify good talent at Fiverr to invite them over to VoiceBunny, but we found only a handful of good voices out of over 300 people that were offering their voiceover services there. How did

Thank you for the correction! You are right. I was thinking about the act of "aerial-spraying of drug producing crops". For Wikipedia: "In many cases the spraying is carried out by American contractors, such as DynCorp, using planes and hel

The Colombian president, Juan Manuel Santos (also an entrepreneur), recently called for the legalization of many drugs, including cocaine: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/nov/13/colombia-juan-sa... I'm a NYC-based, Colombian entrepre

Let major tobacco companies expect that if drugs were legalized, they could expand their business. They may start lobbing in favor of legalization right away.

As a native Spanish speaker from Colombia I also love the topic of linguistic relativity :) Some of the Spanish examples sound uncommon to me, though. "Se han perdido las llaves" is grammatically correct, but I would not use it. Instead I w

Not all presentations are made by startups. More importantly, not all innovations have to be profitable, nor they have to be a business.

The article is not very accurate. I've attended the NY Tech Meetup dozens of times and I've seen the questions "How will you reach a critical mass of users?" and "Aren't you doomed to fail because X already does the same thing?" asked a few

This is how I've been doing it for several years. I may be wrong, of course. I think that “Me” or “My” should be used when a title of a section (a page or a field) does not contain an action (a verb). It should also be used when a button, l

I agree. As I commented in the orignal post: "For over five years I've hired four product developers for three different startups I've co-founded. None of them has delivered satisfactory results. I am a perfectionist and that may be part of

Thank you Steve. You are right. We have had several hours of discussions in reference to the proper word to use ("lodging" or any other) and we have not been able to come up with a definite solution. We will change the "How It Works" area t

We will definitely reduce the number of fonts. And I though we had the number of fonts under control! I forgot to check the home page, though :S Thanks for noticing it!
