As your products and services are targeted towards bigger clients, do you have any advice for smaller companies on who to talk to regarding pricing?

The biggest problem currently is actually degrading performance, although I'm almost 100% sure that this isn't caused by lmdb itself, but rather by the bindings I've tried.
In the end, doing it directly in C is probably the only thing that will actually work.
Does anyone here have experience with any implementations (such as likelike, lshkit, etc.) and can recommend something that can handle larger sets? All the implementations I have found were either not maintained, old, not running or not suitable for production use.
Will definitely take a look at the paper but unfortunately it's always a very long way from here to an actual implementation (there is no code published as far as I could see).
An extensive series about machine learning (100+ videos).
The thing is though, you won't have difficulties finding papers on those topics. However, you will probably not have any luck finding many concrete and practical implementations that you could look at.
So it's a far way from reading the papers to having something working.
If you find something, please let me know.
As mentioned in another comment, you really have to test different hashing algorithms to find one that suits your needs best. In general though, I think it is in most cases not necessary to develop an algorithm from scratch :)
For us, the much more challenging part was/is to develop a system that can find similar images quickly. If you are interested in things like that have a look at VP/MVP data structures (e.g. http://pnylab.com/pny/papers/vptree/vptree/, http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.43.7...).

Either I need the app for my daily work or it is a fire-and-forget service that I once signed up for and that doesn't require any active input from my site.
Anyway, here is my list:
- pivotaltracker.com
- github.com
- dropbox.com
- olark.com
- gmail.com
- google.com/analytics
- hipchat.com
They seem to be pretty close.
As I said we currently have over 3000 users, so there seems to be some interest in such a solution :)
We thought about putting the data directly into an email, but the crappy HTML/CSS support in the gazillion email clients, make this a pretty tough job.
The case here shows what happens when you offer too much features/resouces in the free plan.
The toughest part now is deciding if it makes sense to invest more time into it. But I guess that is a general problem for startups that haven't yet found product/market fit. You can't really know if you are miles or just an inch away from that fit.

"Why do you like to work for this company?"
Guess I'll have to wait for that and use the improvised solution (http://billkatz.com/2009/6/Simple-Full-Text-Search-for-App-E...).

The magazine would look wonderful on some heavy, high-gloss paper.

That would take the pain out of deploying an app.
Downvoting alone doesn't do the job.
Add a signup form. It's not often the case that I want to be notified when a product becomes available, but this time I would love too.
