I like the app so far. Interesting take on video conferencing. Would be fun to see Twitter integration soon...

It's mentioned in Predictably Irrational, but price anchoring is an old concept, and the author of the post does not have an obligation to cite the book.

Probably West somewhere on University Ave. But East Palo Alto may be more representative of the average population.

What is your idea?

Arrington also called Techcrunch's sale a merger at TC Disrupt this morning.

You can delete an app.

This news is about 1 week old.

The Newscred guys are based in Geneva and are active participants on HN. There was also cocomment but I don't know what's their status now...

Hey Shafqat, I'm writing an academic paper on the future of news. Would love to interview you for it and get your opinion and outlook. We've already interviewed people from Reuters/Dowjones, iReport, etc. Contact me if you're interested david.haddad at gmail

Agreed. Basically, even when there are no page loads, GA allows you to register events, actions, etc. to be tracked. You can have dynamic names that you send to Google analytics using javascript, and everything will be visible when you check your stats in addition to the normal metrics like page views, etc...

The media is also more likely to report on a pretzel choking incident when it concerns a person of interest like the president rather than a less interesting subject like me...

it's a facebook page. we're a facebook app. but thanks :)

i'd like to try it too. email: twitter@emoticards.com thanks

I think the guy has some smart points. But the fact that he has the MIT dome picture on his blog counters the point that if you're a high achiever from a top-tiered university, you don't need to show external signs of achievement...

It's interesting that a lot of them are up and running until now...

So, maybe the free UK version of Spotify provides no reason to upgrade. But I can tell you that the Swedish version is getting on a lot of people's nerves. And many of those people are seriously thinking to upgrade.

- First, there are plenty of commercial ads, the stuff that used to run on the radios years ago. Cheesy.

- Second, they fill up ad inventory with non-profits ads. So for example the ad about safe sex that goes something like: "everyone loves music, especially in the bedroom".

- Then they have ads from artists promoting their albums and telling you that if you upgrade, you get the single 1 week early.

- Also, you have ads urging people to call in and leave a fans voice mail.

- And finally Spotify plays the voice messages from people to tell you how much they like it and how much they love the premium version.

In summary, Spotify is clearly playing a carrots & stick game to get people to subscribe - the carrot being the social networking features they want to launch, the ability to create playlists, etc.

And I can clearly imagine how the company is bringing the stick strategy to the UK soon.

The twitter API gives access to a large number of a user's latest tweets. So it's a series of 140 characters which makes the gender classifier more accurate.

Compared to the one Steve Jobs gave at Stanford, Page's speech is uninspiring.

Where is the proof?
