Twilio and 99designs Join This Week's AppSumo Lean Startup Bundle

I do question AppSumo's longterm strategy. It seems like they are trying to make a deal so damn good by adding more and more stuff. But for me, I don't go so much by quantity as quality. Meaning, I'd sign up for $42 for $200 in twilio credit regardless of the other offers which aren't attractive to me. But there may be folks who would sign up for uservoice regardless of the other offers. So I guess appsumo may be shooting themselves in the foot by combining so many offers vs. just focusing on a kickass offer at a time.

You must purchase $20 of twilio credit, but if you get the promo code wrong, it will charge your card and tell you that the code wasn't found. There is no way to enter the code without paying again. I put in a helpdesk ticket about the issue.

The problem for me was that the appsumo page is really cluttered and disorganized. There are two columns, one named "Product" and the other one is named "Code", but there are some rows that encompass both columns which make them seem like dividers and it isn't clear what the text in those columns are supposed to be associated with. Anyway, there is one "divider" line a few lines above Twilio that says "Promo code is XXXXX" and I assumed that was the code for all of the products below it, without realizing that there was a "code" column. Yes, it's my fault for jumping the gun, but in my defense, that page is pretty bad.

I can't figure out how they got a $85 as the regular price for a website and logo design. If you look on 99Designs site they charge $295 minimum for just a logo design.

Am I missing something? About 3-4 weeks ago I wanted to use 99 Designs for a IPhone App Icon. But went there to find that they raised their minimum price for everything.

* Not everyone is familiar with everything. Can you add a section to the site that better describes what the included services can be used for. I don't mean full-blown tutorials, although links to these would be great. Right now the descriptions are just publicity blurbs for each service.

* Can you add voting so that people nominate what services/books they want to see in the next round of such a bundle offering, if you want to continue this startup bundle idea.

1) The "refer friends, get $10 link" in header doesn't seem to work (it prompts me to login or register, and no further info re: referring friends is provided.)

2) The logout link in header doesn't seem to work either (it triggers snapabug, but won't let me logout.)

Cool deal, though, I will undoubtedly purchase anyway. Thx for offering.

edit: context: one of the bundle inclusions is selenium cloud testing (sauce labs)
