Are these run by the same company? The copy on Webyshot's FAQ is straight lifted from url2png on the 'Limit of One Domain' question. edit: most of the FAQ, actually. Poor form.

I'm assuming the grandparent comment is sarcasm (if it's not, it should be). Leverage this enthusiasm to build the MVP. If you don't know how or it's beyond your capabilities, there's plenty of resources available now to learn how. Get some

As per the first post (part 1), they're from Australia. Can't imagine it being too much $$ to go to NZ from there.

I think that's a pretty broad and unfair generalization about entrepreneurs in the education space. It's not exactly a common skillset to be well versed in the science of education and technology, so I won't back down from the unqualified s

I was coming strictly from the standpoint of time being the scarcest factor and thus the most important; I completely agree with you on the intellectual satisfaction of developing native apps :)

The issue with fragmentation that ultimately leads to consolidation is the cost incurred by companies and developers to support all of these platforms. I can't tell you how much it pains me as an android user to see an app only available fo

I was at an event in NYC several months back where a mid-stage VC said the same thing (blanking on his name) but specifically regarding the NYC community. It was an angle I hadn't thought about and initially had the same negative reaction t

First - the site: I love the simplicity. The concept is clear immediately. Second - the service itself: it's a great angle. Kids love SMS messages and this embraces the use of technology/cell phones in a positive way. It creates a more per

At the end of the day I don't think customers care whether it's a script, person or alien solving their problem. All that matters is a great experience and a resolved issue.

I'm not sure if anyone else caught Jessica trying to follow up about the serendipitous meetings of people like Sean Parker in the Valley. I think he's completely discounting some of the experiences and chance happenings that acted as a cata

The title is misleading. This is an article from 2008 on CEO pay and the issues in the banking system that's made its rounds several times. It has a lot to do with the core issues of the unrest right now but it is by no means Mark Cuban's r
