I dig this overall process (and transparency), but I'm bummed that ultimately it came down to "I have an idea." It's an idea that has some customer validation, but the value of this series of blog posts for folks was to prove a process for

Orket = Orkut, further proof that there wasn't pressure to use it!

I worked at Google for a number of years during which time lots of products were coming out or ramping up. For instance, at the time Orket was Google's social strategy du jour. There was minimal (if any) pressure to use Orket over the burg

Android, unfortunately does not have this functionality. All permissions have to be requested up front, whether or not they are needed for all users.

Noah's pretty active on HN (at least reading), so I expect he'll chime in soon.

Good question on this one. I'm not sure. My understanding was that Amazon was concerned more with equitable pricing across app stores. i.e., you can't sell the app for $0.99 with Google and $1.99 with Amazon. But in truth I haven't gone t

Actually, I've had some back and forth with Amazon over the past few hours. Their current policy is "the developer shouldn't been penalized for issues outside of their core binary." In my case Amazon is going to approve the app without mod

I've been using FB auth only for a year or so on one of my Android apps. It's centered specifically around social sharing and I'm focusing on US based users at first. Given the maintenance tradeoffs around other login methods, I'm pretty h

Yes. UI is one thing, but many devs out there are using these patterns and everyone reinvents the wheel to implement them.

For most Internet/technology savvy folks this won't be appealing. A few years back I realized that most of my technology purchases were actually "rentals." I purchase them at full price, use them for a year or two and then unload them on e

In general I agree, AdWords (and indeed other Google products) could improve its customer service. But I also know, having worked for several years at Google, that the volume of requests is enormous. Many of them come from advertisers less

In my experience modern ad systems use, among other things, CPC x CTR. Using CPR x CTR is good for all stakeholders: 1. Advertiser value - the better/well targeted the ad, the lower the cost 2. Publisher value - higher CTR means more clic

I used to work in the domain business for Google. Professional parkers value a domain based on its current traffic and ad ctr. "Premium" domains - whole word .com domains generally have the highest value because 1) users sometimes type them

Really excellent article. A launch is way more than just pushing a site from dev to production.

I worked in the domain parking industry for a few years. There's no doubt that Divank has many a ton of $$$ and is an impressive entrepreneur. But he does so at the expense of users on the Internet. Directi/Skenzo is one of the most aggre

Wow. This would be _really_ helpful! I have an Android app that I've been working on. The primary purpose is to let users see the apps their friends have so they can discover new ones. You can see screen grabs @ http://www.appadvocate.co
