Do you know if anyone actually used the QR codes? I don't know anyone who has actually used one. Did you have a way to check if it helped having a QR code on there? Or do you think it was you talking to them and your business card that clos

One thing people haven't discussed is how much your are personally involved in your business. I'd like you and others like you to take a step back and evaluate that aspect. While being personally involved has advantages, namely passion/comm

A small press kit with some screenshot of the app that you can send to blogs and biking websites. I would use your promo codes with bloggers rather than bike businesses, unless they have large followings like the courier company.

This is an interesting problem. I have a few suggestions. 1. I echo the other people that the description needs some work. Its not very compelling above the fold. 2. I think you can get rid of the announcement about your Christmas sale and

How low do you think its possible to go in terms of investing? As an experiment, lets say I decided to save up $1000 and try my hand as a venture capitalist. Do you think it could work out, or its pointless to even try because other costs,

I think there's a business opportunity here folks. An App that reviews apps, BETTER than the App Store. Obviously its needed, since consumers want to know how an app works and if it has bugs BEFORE they buy it, and business want constructiv

I think developers are shocked because for many it is their first time dealing with the consumer masses out there in an online world. Any small business owner who is on Yelp knows that people can be really, really mean. Often without reason

Goodness. Today I was surfing CNN.com and it had my friend's updates embedded into the sidebar. I was like, WTF? Seriously Facebook?

Well, between $.99 and $9.99 is a good starting point, because thats where almost all iPhone apps are priced. Then, you can look at your competitors, and find their range of pricing. I'd be priced comparably, if you offer similar features.

Part of the reason is because YC concentrates on web companies. From their website: "Though we fund all types of computer startups, we're especially interested in web-based applications. We've been thinking about that problem longer than a

I would love to be able to put music "ads" in my blog feed. Seriously, is that do-able? You pick a song you love, and at the end of each post an "ad" appears for it, which is really an embedded music player and allows a person to play 30 se

How to find a cofounder with talent and drive is the hard part. I know a bunch of people who say "sweet idea" when I mention starting a company, but most of them are not at the top of their game or ready to take the process seriously. The p

Just because there's a ton, doesn't mean its saturated. Moreover, do the owners of those apps have the ability to direct 10k users daily towards downloading their app? I would seriously look into it. Same with Android. Its silly to dismiss

Paying by the month gives you extreme flexibility. You can always lower the price in the future, although raising it is a bit harder. One thing to do would be to compare what your app does with the one that costs 300/month, and what yours d

The photography is just amazing, its like food porn. Apparently she's making a cookbook, which should be pretty sweet. I can't wait to make some of the more involved stuff when I get out of my tiny NYC apartment.

Legally a fact doesn't mean actually a fact. I can name a few people who legally killed someone and then it turns out they didn't. But if its your pet peeve, you should read the New York Post, where they drop the "allegedly" and go right to

Both Paypal and Amazon do micropayments with fees of $0.05 + 5%. So basically, your fees for a $0.99 cent MP3 is around 10 cents. It definitely makes micropayments feasible.

I don't believe un-open source is a concept that can exist under past versions of the GPL. If you read the GPL, it has no time limit on the license. And the contract also has no termination conditions except for one (which the people downlo
