I like the idea of the product but using it was another story:

a) copied Mint.com's look verbatim b) the functionality is horrible and extremely limited c) you can't delete your account and your data d) I question the 256 bit security they use as well

Awesome updates to the original. Worth checking out if you are trying to launch your startup or evaluate your marketing costs.

Ha. McClure is a CHARACTER. But the guy LOVES to make spreadsheets and powerpoints. Yes, he adds sometimes way too much junk in them but where I am not always the best at it he definitely is a great web strategist.

damn wordpress hacks. let me know if you can see what specifically you are getting blocked for;/

Exactly. Lining up top people and support to ensure that you get some traction with the sites. There are even paid services that I believe Mint and other companies use today.

Weird. My site got hacked ages ago while I wasn't paying attention. Wordpress updates were missing. Let me know if you see this and I'll fix it.

@thetrumanshow Appreciate the feedback. What more would you like to see and I can do a follow up post...

The real takeaway is for people to plan out where they are getting to get their traffic from and how much they will "likely" get. Most just hold their breath and hope for the best.

Yea, I'm not hiding that I am involved. And yes, I'm still surprised no on has done it (:

Yea, for most you should be able to extend them. Let me know if you have any issues and I'll help get it resolved.

Definitely! A bit hard to get all these companies and a low price.

Yea, good point. Could merge both those things together...

This is basically groupon for software. Surprised no one else has done this before...

I was referring to the tips from the other post linked within the blog.

nice information, will try to use some of the tips.

There are companies like appsavvy.com who do it for fb games.

I always use agreements. Main things to cover are payment terms and collecting 1/2 of the payment upfront if they are a new advertiser.

Ideally on request is what I send advertisers, otherwise a dashboard is always fun if you have the time to make one.

Raising rates is more about creating competition and value for the advertising available. At the end of the day most advertisers just do the math on the ROI. If they want to stay you can raise rates. More important imo is about retention and having advertisers over the long haul.

Freshbooks.com and other invoices. I just use a google doc template I have and email that to them.

I have Amazon prime and LOVE IT! The only thing I realized is most of my purchases are over $25 so it is just 2 day shipping as the perk, but that's still awesome!

In the words of Dave C. "Haters gonna hate, lovers gonna love"

A bit too extreme but I think he highlights some key points. I do think FB will flatline.

Weird. I am actually tempted to buy one.

pingdom.com

I just started using this service and completely love it.

I am really annoyed with this memo. Not that most of the startups were good or bad at TC50. Likely bad. Just the researcher or commentator philosophy to harp on people who are at least doing something. Writing about it and interviewing people is one thing but to take action and build a business is extremely difficult.

Until Sarah does something (not even important) but anything, she should keep her opinions to herself.

Congrats guys!!!
