The single 5 star review had some pretty insincere as the "advice to management": It's pretty easy to openly communicate with management (all the way up to c-level) in my experience, no need to put it on some website when you

Best buzzfeed article I've ever read. Might even be the best UX user story I've ever read. Talk about finding an evangelist of your product to talk about what they like/don't like.

...[Mossberg] fingered iTunes for the desktop "I dread opening the thing" This is so spot on. It feels like they rearrange iTunes every month, especially the mobile version. Recently I noticed that I'd be searching for a song

After going through the article I would have really liked to see what the average prices for these companies are, even though only 48 out of the 250 SaaS companies published pricing pages. On average there were 3.5 pricing options per compa

I'm normally skeptical about these types of articles (every SEO website has one) but the intro is very interesting, and they hit on some fundamental issues with content marketing right off of the bat i.e. every company blogs because th

Horror flashbacks reading your comment... But for real, do you think 10k or 20k links from legitimate blogs/social profiles would provide any SEO benefit? Or would the only benefit be the referral traffic?
