Direct only. Our competition is tripadvisor, it a david and goliath situation, even though we specialize in just one area for one thing. My friend owns a similar site in a much larger demographic and makes a lot more, but be advised.. this

A good old fashioned web site which ranks high for a resort town which has a lot of tourists who don't know where to eat so they search in the Google. My next venture is a run on sentence shortening service.

When this first came out, the adverts on TV showed a movie full of action and dripping in coolness, I went to the first day of opening and the audience was dumbstruck about 15 minutes in, it was so 90210-esque. The social satire was brilli

I'm not implying anything, but there are some large Israeli companies which have access to lots of data or provide surveillance or spy tech; Narus, Trusteer, Amdocs, Comverse, Verint, to name a few.

This affects mainly Windows users (why I do not know.. but the default Google fonts have always look like shit on my Windows machine). If you don't see any difference think about how many people are viewing your app/site on window

Is that an official document with an actual smiley face? What ever happened to the admins / programmers standing up for what is right, or do they just gobble down a paycheck and turn the other way?

It was cool for people not familiar with the internet, for others it was just another social place, like the island in your kitchen.

WP owes most of it's success to the UI, it is the very reason it became so popular. It continues to this day to sooth and empower end users, so much so that the actual users often think they are developers, that is what you call a succ
