that's actually the big problem...the account doesn't get judged by the bot over it's current status...and is instead judged through it's entire history...that's a problem...since it means people aren't allowed to ever make a mistake. this

I dunno about you, but you'd have to be pretty clueless about your customers if you think automatic bans over having " " in your username is a justified reaction. As far as judging the response...you can't do that, since the issue was made

that actually reinforces his point. If she didn't make that post, Amanda wouldn't have showed up to give her comment...neither would you. And that's pretty weak "support", telling someone to go fill out a customer support form. Especially s

in what world is account suspension for having " " in your username justified? There should be nothing malleable about that

I don't understand why everyone is giving Google a pass by saying they are in beta. A link didn't get broken, a photo didn't fail to load...instead an account was suspended intentionally. That has nothing to do with being a beta, and has ev

yeah same here....the thing with Google is that unless you are spending 100K a month, it doesn't really care about you as a customer.

beats me. I'm sure a lawyer can come up with something Maybe something along the lines of "Google accused me as a violator of their Terms of Service when I didn't do anything wrong...this caused duress and headaches for me, to a point where

I don't think we'll see a change in Google's approach to ignoring customer service, until they get hit with a class action lawsuit The problem is with bots...Google automates everything, so they hit a lot of people with false positives.

I think the biggest roadblock to moving closer to work, is that a lot of people are home owners. And selling a house is a pain in the ass and is a huge commitment. Which would be fine if there was job security, but in this day and age, you

can't say I like the landing page....it looks way too much like a wordpress blog...and an incomplete one at that. granted I'm not a target customer, so maybe their research shows that it works...but if I came to the website by any non-refer

Google has their hands in a lot of pies, if they banned everyone they competed with, they'd lose 90% of their adwords advertisers

it seems pretty restrictive in the early stage you are required to build extra features....and in the later stage you are requiring the acquirer to agree to this

i think the biggest problem with Quora is that it was hyped up to be more than it was. It's just a Q&A site, and it was hyped up as being a Facebook killer.

refusing ads != banning an account

by vaksel 15y ago
the thing to worry about with Google, is that they are notorious for changing the rules and banning people retroactively for things they did in the past. happened to me with my adwords account, ran a campaign just fine...paused it...then 8

crap like this really annoys me. They disable the entire account over a violation in one campaign. No warnings, nothing. And you can't even get the account unbanned, since their customer support refuses to even look into the issue. Adwords

not really...the new Techcrunch is putting up a ton more stories...so the TC coverage won't be as useful, since it'll hit the 2nd page within a few hours.

I'm surprised he didn't do it sooner. That said it just screams of me too, jumping on the bandwagon to cash in before it's too late

the difference is that proggit is opt in, while reddit.com is optout....so it's selection bias for quality

seems nothing more than just a price hike. at the very least, they could have thrown in some good news about how they are increasing the quality of each service by adding a ton more stuff to netflix instant etc.

it seems like similar to Groupon, they monetized an existing audience. Seems like the recipe for success is to start off with an existing audience that you can market to. Similar to how Zuckerberg had all those emails prior to launching fac

you can't ask...people will never give you a straight answer. the best approach is to build a mockup that has the signup and intro pages, and a non-functional signup page(i.e. don't store credit cards)...then run $500 worth of adwords throu

chances are that they are just hedging their bets, in case the site gets facebook big...then they can release the movie and make a killing

not really. Zuckerberg, Moskovitz, Saverin, Hughes were all founders. The rest were C-level executives, most of which were brought on later through connections. The only real employee is Callahan, which owns .08% of the company...and it's v

that's why it's important to stick to the minimum viable product philosophy. if you can do everything manually and just forward emails...do that until you it gets big enough to require automation

the confidence to charge more is very important. if you know what you are providing is quality, you can charge for it and people will pay for it. Sure you'll get a bit more rejection...but those cheapskates wouldn't have appreciated your wo

1. Jail over 24K in back taxes? That's insane 2. Getting sentenced to a medium security prison? I mean really, this is a big wtf...should have been light security...or better yet just house arrest
