I was honestly out to thrash you guys in the comments when i read the title. But the article indeed turned out interesting. I guess this is what people have now termed "growth hacking"!

Well it is a little unfriendly (many emails to remember?) but I think it does help. While in a small company we tend to have overlapping roles, slowly our roles become more concrete. When that happens, a mail to say payments@ will immediate

Well mac users do rant too. A lot actually. If not for the title, I think you do have a point here. I've had a mac for close to 6 years now and after each installation/upgrade, it feels like I'm back on my old laptop - nothin

Looks like Google has been shutting down features and apps that they think are not core to their business after the management shuffle and Page took over. And in their defense the announcement came pretty early.

Well that doesn't make any sense. All our use cases would be violating our own ToC then! What we meant was you cannot resell the data. We shall fix the wording of that ASAP. Thanks for pointing it out.

Thanks for the comment! Since amazon.com storefronts cover more products that the rest, hence the skewed results - this is specifically true with the long tail queries. As we add more sources, the dominance would be less pronounced :) We d

We started off adding most of the major e-commerce stores. As to how we decide which sites to add, well that depends. We usually add sites based on what our users seem to be asking for. More sites means more ability to do interesting queri

We started out in Singapore and the only payment processor we could use there was Paypal. If started now we would have used something more easier and better like Stripe :) That being said, we should be switching over to them soon.
