I'm the partner and co-founder a PPC Agency. The right way is to do it yourself first. But make sure you have conversion tracking, so that you know the basic metrics. For instance, if you are doing PPC for sign-ups, how much are you paying

oh, well, I think you and I agree ... The death idea is inspiring, but is an overkill. 99% death are natural death. For people who worry about it, they should add their logins to their will. But then, dead people are supposed to be gone, wi

Great. My question is, if I use your service, what if you die before I die :)

Just curious. You can also just write down the logins on a piece of paper, and tell a family member to open it just in case. Isn't this simpler/safer?

This is the "smart" guy trying to save the world type of thinking. See what Steve Jobs said in his 1996 interview: ".... When you're young, you look at television and think, There's a conspiracy. The networks have conspired to dumb us down.

He is obsessed with "being open" - that's the only "point", all other people are "missing the point". Ask the phone users, TV users, ... do they care? They didn't miss any point, they just want a better phone, open or not open doesn't matte

I didn't read the terms, so I don't know. But a fair system should be that the App owner should decide what ad network to use within its app. The argument that Google doesn't allow Yahoo ad to show in Google search result is invalid, becaus

The guy's main point is that you should decide which girl you are: the "Consequentialist" (relativist), or the "Categoricalist" (absolutist). He said: "... I find it helpful, before I consider a dilemma, to at least debate whether I’m in th

"As our ability to search for media content improves, the economic value of that content will approach zero." In simple words, he's just saying: Piracy makes your content worth nothing. I just don't think this is true. Piracy has b

There is pretty much nothing Apple can do to counter Android. Android is free, and doesn't bundle with hardware. So, Android will just grow like Microsoft did, because all the hardware makers will get on Android. So it's basically: App

Thanks for the links. For your yahoo link, what does "BRK-A" vs "SPY" mean?

Right on! The part I liked the most is the Michael Jordan quote. I didn't know MJ so statistical, and now I respect him a lot more. A trader should do the same. A simple system of logging trading decisions like MJ did will greatly help a tr

I agree with you. I said he failed but his vision isn't wrong. He is as convinced about his vision as when he saw the GUI. In fact, what he saw in 1996 remains the same - web dev is still in the everything-custom age (stone age). Every new

Very very good interview. So, Steve Jobs were, in 1996, 100% certain the Web Objects will be the future of web development. It didn't happen, and he failed. Do anybody care to think why he failed? I have a very "simpleton" theory. Just thro

I don't use Digg. Do you guys use it, regularly? If you don't use it regularly, how can you judge? I think Alexis is probably right because it's part of his business he looks at this everyday. I like dmix's point. "It's about what clicks wi

Great insight. Very practical. I hope Google founders are NOT reading this.

I agree. To criticize Google still working like a start-up is a big complement.

The author must had some success as he completely ignores how many google-wanna-bes are out there two or three years ago, and then the YouTube-wanna-bes, the Digg-wanna-bes ... There are always tons of dead-bodies in the wanna-bes. I think

What a silly argument. If the book is good, you will read it anywhere. Who would lock himself up in room just to read a book? Must be bad books. If the book is good, most people will prefer reading it on paper.

I think the Waste Management company is brilliant, and deserves respect. If you spend a hundred bucks for something that doesn't work, you would ask for a refund. I wonder why companies didn't do this before. Capitalism is dying because com

If your are targeting discontent Quickbooks users, then it will be very difficult battle. The cost of switching is very high, and most of the quickbooks users are not web savvy, they will cling to what they are used unless Intuit really scr

Don't forget Quickbooks - it is by far the most dominant player. For most small biz owners, being online is not important, so a locally installed QuickBooks is good enough. Even if web access is required, Intuit can put Quickbooks online ea
