My account got deleted and i've spent over $7 in the last 2 years and disabled adverts this week and it got deleted. If I can't get my data back then doubt I'll ever use Adwords again...

All my production buddies hate it. They pay full price, your the world and yet Soundcloud take down the tracks that they OWN. With no recourse or apology. Their system has been broken for 5 years at least for the power users in the communit

Probably because the adverts that are blocked pay for the site. Kind of like asking musicians for zippy share links to their music.

How can they set a price without having a price for IP? If a lightbulb kickstarter hadnt contacted a factory before coming up with how much it would cost for production then we'd be riding their asses

There are a few things here that I can see are overhead. - It was an established design consultancy, that takes time and money to create. - They charge the customer 3x what they paid you, but you dont know if the customer paid up. The had a

you get better terms this way and is a way to shut out competitors that are considering entering your space (because they know you can burn money to stop them getting traction) If you NEED money, you will find it harder to get

Yes. People don't purchase the iPad alone, but for the ecosystem. I moved to Android but just bought an iPad as it has an App I need for work that isnt available on any Tablet OS. Thats why theyre able to do it and still win over the o

Xero was started by someone involved with MYOB. MYOB's software is a nightmare for SMB's, so they probably started there as small businesses are happy to put their finances in the cloud. Once they grow their businesses out I can i

For the people that are complaining about this point of view, remember that this is a PAYING customer who is currently $600 a year for the service. I assume that most people saying not to drop the price are not paying users of this service.
