People still search for games based on keywords. Can't you focus on this? Title your games with high volume search terms, use good keywords etc.

Yes that is standard. It should be illegal. They said his resignation, effective immediately , had nothing to do with any disagreement over company operations. It had everything to do with that. He was probably fired or quit in anger over

Another disturbing trend I've noticed is upvoting and downvoting based simply upon whether or not you agree. A well-reasoned, polite and civil viewpoint that doesn't match your own should not be downvoted. The result of this is that people

I don't think thats the kind of deletion vs inclusion he was referring to, though you are 100% correct. I think what he meant was there should be a setting you can choose to view a minimalist version of the site.

"I wouldn't make a blanket statement and say "all designers are equal", which is essential what you are saying." I said the best on 99designs and guys who want $5k to do a logo are equal. Not every designer is equal. "You can call it enti

Just because somebody responds with a budget that is worth your time does not mean they also should not use 99designs. The difference between the best designers there and the designers who need to be paid thousands just to open photoshop is

by wilfra 14y ago
The designer revolt against 'spec work' is a byproduct of 99designs and crowdSPRING doing an excellent job of disrupting the way people hire designers. They want things the way they were: high prices and no competition once you find clients

It's also the same line people use when they describe why Steve Jobs was so brilliant. There is a difference, however, in explaining away unpopular changes as being this and actually being good at it. Quora is actually good at it.

eHow is garbage content though. They might target search traffic in the same way but the answers on Quora are actually good. Perhaps thats what you meant by 'cleanly' but I took that to mean design only.

It's all about the feed. You need to follow people who are interested in things you're interested in.
617.
by wilfra 14y ago
What people you are following have viewed now shows up in your feed. This will presumably improve discovery, as your feed is the primary way to find interesting content on Quora.

I've learned to go with the flow and trust them when they make changes like this. My first impression is usually to want the 'old Quora' back but once I get used to them, the changes do nearly always improve the experience. I would imagine

For sure you can go and just hang out. The website says something like a $10 optional donation. The first time I went they acted like I was the only person who had ever given it tho lol Bring your laptop, great place to kick it. If you like

That might technically be true but that clearly isn't the intent here. Craigslist is not going to be suing their users for copy/pasting the same listing across multiple sites... This is clearly directed to services like Padmapper - which, b

It was probably your tone. Phrasing those statements as questions comes across as a bit condescending. I didn't mind and I think it was a helpful response, but ya, thats probably why.

"Second employee was a "business guy" - who stuck his foot in the door and kind of hired himself." Can you expand on this? How does a business person hire himself when he finds an engineer with a good idea?

"how to find greatness?" This is exactly the question they have about developers after working with mediocre or poor ones. It's not a question you can easily answer - but you'll know it when you've found it. It will be like an ice cold glas
