Dofuss··on The new MacBook
Apparently my current Macbook Pro Retina has better power than "the new macbook" -- http://www.apple.com/mac/compare/results/?product1=macbook&p...
Dofuss··on Amazon Echo
We're proud to announce "Echo," developed by Amazon, and exploited by the NSA.

We're proud to announce "Echo," a Siri for your home.

Dofuss··on Google acquires Yourbot
Can't believe someone from Google got in touch with you after your fake news tweet! That's incredible! It also says a lot about the different techniques one should/can use to gain traction with investors - no matter how "cheesy" the technique may seem. Also, just to be able to say that you already had a discussion with Google is a huge boost to future talks with potential investors!
Dofuss··on Why do people use MailChimp? UI experience better at DirectIQ and Campaign Monitor
In other words, I'm crowdsourcing to hear about the pros and cons of each service out there... :)
Dofuss··on Why do people use MailChimp? UI experience better at DirectIQ and Campaign Monitor
Nah, I knew someone would be bound to ask though. Buddies from Turkey swear by this product as their email marketing solution. I could only provide one link, and I feel like everyone knows about MailChimp, and Campaign Monitor (Used by Apple etc), so I put in DirectIQ's URL to spark the discussion. Here's another one that's been known to be simple: MadMimi.com -- it was just bought by GoDaddy and has been known for it's UI, yet, MailChimp seems to trump all. It baffles me. Thoughts?

True, but I feel like User Experience should be the all deciding factor. Like, it cannot ALL come down to what's offered in a freemium account, can it? Should it?

Lol I suppose a lot of it has to do with how much money you have to market a product. Like when MailChimp sent Freddie to the stratosphere.. That was pretty awesome..

I'm still trying to understand why MailChimp is so popular, like I understand they have a lot of integrations, but their user experience is somewhat horrendous. Any thoughts on an Email Marketing service? DirectIQ seems really simple, albeit small and unknown to many.
