LinkedIn? Social network and you can post jobs there. Works pretty much how you've described it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v01UB4n7Vhw - it's a new version

thanks - we'll fix that!

codility.com made a parthership with http://humanway.com/ - together they offer value prop that you are looking for.

Have you seen things like Alfresco? Or even MS Sharepoint (I know companies using sharepoint in very heavily controlled environments like pharmaceutical companies).

Yes! That was the initial source :) I was amazed that I haven't seen this before... Then I realized that this info is/can be a little bit outdated and need refreshing, hence my question to PG.

can you elaborate on that document management?

and to people that don't really need web content management with fancy forms only something like a forms builder/hosting and an app that will process and track gathered data (forms + CRM)...

Interesting to see that only less then 0.1 percent of Reddit users donated. Is there really no alternative for ad revenue in content startups?

Interesting to see that many iPad owners use this device as a "kitchen aid" (see this thread here http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1503254 ). Maybe that would be a "killer app that will make it popular?

Yes - Cinema display or other nice external monitor. Should boost productivity (although I'm not sure how much).

A Macbook Pro 13". That is all.

Interesting - so what's with 10 hours usage without charging? Do you find it true statement after weeks of using the device?

One of the ideas was to create something like a local business social network and use it for connecting employees and customers. You would ask your users to login with their Facebook account to your system (benefit - a lot of info about the customer) and then hook them up to the product they have and deal value they generated. This would give you good info about importance of the call.

Idea could be summed up as "Quora for support with CRM integration".

Yesterday we had a discussion and following point we made: - nothing that we can do (simpler UI, faster search for the knowledge base etc.) is good enough to take it to market. People simply will not convert to our app because it will not fundamentally change the way they work - and help them fix their problems. We will still do the same thing, only a little bit better then competitors.

Also we joked that if a company want to make a user happy we can setup an engine that will send emails randomly from around 100 different templates assuring user that people are working on his case ;)

I was discussing a new kind of support system with my friend the other day. We have been trying to understand current limitations of the support systems and if they can be fixed with technology (not always).

I'm looking forward to see some comments from people that are more into this topic!

I'm sorry but what does that mean "developer focused payment processing"? From the SaaS provider perspective - less time I spend on integration with such thing is better. "Developer focused payment processing" suggests rich API with high learning curve. Not really compelling value prop...

BTW - don't get me wrong. I'm not suggesting they have a bad product. I'm really curious how they can make payment processing developer focused!

I think that Stallman is discussing 2 points at the same time. First thing is freedom of data (easy import/export and ability to completely delete your data from a SaaS app) - in the world where each MB of information is replicated around 7 times (archiving, backup, replication etc.) and therefore it's virtually impossible to delete information...

Second thing - free software - you have no control of the app when it's run by the service provider. Again - reality is that most of the people can not read code and sourcode or even executable binary is almost equal to 90% of the population. Biggest advantage of SaaS is that it can provide value that normal "behind the firewall" software can not match. What kind of value? I.e. cost reduction (thanks to consolidation effect). This leads us to the democratization of access to the computing power/software power - and it's, after all, what Stallman is all about, right?

I can see one problem with these benchmarks - you test dev version of Chrome and compare it with stable/released version of Safari...

Having said that - I'm using Chrome 6 on my Mac - it _feels_ faster then Safari 5.

Email is the easy part. Meetings and phone calls are the worst. I mean - they are if you've never done that before so often.

I've seen my daughter playing with iPhone and had the same idea... Here are my thoughts on the subject:

- should be cheap but if you have kids you know that people can spend a lot of money on toys.

- Should look "tough to break" - must be pretty robust when kid drops it shouldn't break easily.

- Should have text 2 speech built in for all the navigation

- initial set of apps must bring educational value (ABCs, initial math, games that you must count to win etc.).

Yes it does!

I like it very much. In fact - I'm filling it out right now! BTW - I love the potential of this app. I.e. you can expand Key Performance Indicators with some sort of the Steve Blank kind of small "no accounting" app with the API for integration - http://steveblank.com/2010/02/22/no-accounting-for-startups/ - to automatically track your performance...

Please check http://2checkout.com - it's really nice, easy to setup and international friendly system. We use it in http://smartupz.com

Http://Adtaily.com kind of thing?
