There are at least 5 brands of coconut water at my local Walgreens in San Francisco. One of them is half the price of all others, but it's overall a premium drink. Having tasted just about all of them, I prefer Zico. It seems they did

It's a hobby. It seems you are falling into the trap of vanity metrics when paying attention to number of followers. Let's say you had 10000 followers who each listen for 2 hours per day, how would you make money? By the way, I st

The format I use is: Read the person's name card and try to understand how to pronounce it. If it's a foreign name, every letter usually should be pronounced as written as otherwise it would not be there. Hi, ___. What are you bui

There is Apex, Salesforce's own language. It resembles Java, but is not Java. It is a proprietary language that powers custom apps written by 3rd party developers to run as modules of Salesforce on Salesforce's servers. It is simi

Word uses an open XML format now. You can certainly accomplish this. Having used Microsoft Word since Word 2.0 (and WordPerfect 4.2 for DOS for good measure), I am not sure I agree that it's bad at managing content and formatting if th

Gotta love being downvoted for an informative post... :) If you look at the XML returned for RSS feeds, you will notice: <syn:updateBase>2014-07-16T14:25:18-07:00</syn:updateBase> <syn:updateFrequency>1</syn:u

Useful free stuff is typically gone in minutes. Only junk remains posted. Its RSS feeds have a refresh period of 1 hour, which is simply too long to have the opportunity to grab hot items. As Craigslist has very shallow category listings in

As-is, this is not an MVP. V stands for "viable" and right now I don't get the sense that it is so. You have a skeleton running, but it doesn't feel like a product yet.

Nice site. You are creating something similar to the change of address packet and welcome kit by the USPS. When you move to a new area, you get an envelope with a ton of local offers for new movers. This is what I am talking about: http:&#
