   Yeah absolutely if SendGrid builds this functionality and creates a 'Welcome Mandrill customers' page, then you guys will get a whole heap of new signups right away!

   Do you prefer Mailgun over SendGrid for any particular reason (both offer free accounts)?

   Sounds like you're in the same boat as me. Just quickly tried out Mailgun and SendGrid today as alternatives. SendGrid looks more stable, but Mailgun has the advantage of at least being able to see subject lines in emails sent (which c

   I just tried SendGrid out now, unless I'm mistaken you can't even see subject line in the emails that are sent, is this correct?

   One advantage that Mandrill has over SendGrid is the ability to see the content of emails (run a web agency so it helps a lot with troubleshooting for our clients).

    Yeah I guess Node.js could be another option for us, certainly all web developers already know JavaScript anyway.

    Thanks Jay, just sent you an email. And yeah, I see your point, guess I'm just not ready to make a decision yet. I was definitely planning on Ruby initially, but after my experience with the job market and available local resources I&#

    Interesting and even nonsensical. He's an entrepreneur, owns a for-profit business and is choosing to compensate how he wants to. It's actually the definition of how capitalism can improve quality of life for everyone, is it not?

    Wow, maybe if you're in it for the short term, but if you want a long term relationship or marriage, that "make, sure I'm happy" mantra sure ain't going to work. Imagine if we had that attitude with our children? Or

    Bandwidth caps? I pay $130/mo for unlimited data on a fibre connection through Orcon. Even if fibre isn't available yet in your area you can still get a standard broadband connection for $100/mo with unlimited data.
