Depending on the type of content you need, you could try leveraging Mechanical Turk. Or, as others have said, fake it. Also, posting a link here couldn't hurt (providing it is live).
This kind of questions gets asked a lot here. The common response is "Fake it." Follow reddit's lead and generate content yourself until others catch on. You also might try mechanical turk, though I have no experience with this myself. Also, post a link. You'll get better advice if you supply more detail about your site or the actual site to look at.
Could posts also include location? I'm in the northeast, and I'm sure others would like to be able to skim for locations without leaving the page as well.
I find the facebook share link on this page to be poetic. On a serious note, how long will it take facebook to kill this the same way it did http://www.suicidemachine.org ? I'd love to see one of these succeed, but if my memory serves me, there's been a constant cat and mouse game going on between them and facebook since it first became popular.
But these are help docs. For people who are not necessarily tech savvy, "browser crash" would likely mean the whole program, not a tab, and that's if it meant anything at all. They'd probably have a good middle ground saying a tab crashes.
I've been in this same situation before. Campus busses at my university do this; why can't a company that only does buses do it too? In fact, I'd even pay an extra buck to see the info. They could use GPS data plus a phone app to improve their ticketing system too. i.e. use your phone to check in when you're in front of the bus and it gets verified on their site instead of handing the driver a piece of paper and an ID.
Shoot me an email (in profile) with a list of pages to proof read. I'm not a content writer, but I can probably find and big errors. I'd be happy to help out with that if you'd like.
I really admire the thought behind that, but I think it will just confuse people. People are used to seeing discounts when buying in bulk. From a psychological perspective, people see that as "buy more = pay less". This way, to some people at least, it looks like "I'm getting penalized for not committing to this for longer".
I've actually been looking for a good feedback solution for a while. I like the look of the app a lot, and I'll try it out in the wild soon. The one thing I find weird about it is "Just $12 / month or less". Normally apps give price floors, not ceilings. Was there any reason for this?
Also, who is your target audience here, nationally speaking? I saw "$12,00" on the signup page. If this is aimed toward US customers, it should be $12.00, not $12,00.
All app stores, IMHO, are about app discovery for people who want to search as little as possible. The iPhone app store is the only way to get apps "legally" on the iPhone, but other than that, app stores don't do a whole lot other than search. Android apps can be sideloaded, Mac store apps won't be anything new, and Chrome apps aren't either.
Having a button for the average user to press is what it's all about. "Press this button, and you can find apps." It just serves as a way for people to most quickly find something that meets their needs. For developers, it gives those people a place to look and hopefully increases exposure.
The author admits that some subset of teens do tweet for specific reasons. He does not really mention whether teens follow others on twitter or not, just whether they broadcast information. I agree that most of those followers of Justin Bieber are probably teenagers, however how many are actively tweeting as well as following? I think you may be arguing a point the author wasn't trying to make. His opinions were about producing information, not consuming it.
This makes me wonder if there is a market for that. Idea: a newsletter / email marketing solution complete with an ad network. The content of the newsletter could be used for targeting ads. Some kind of mail chimp + adsense looking product. Thoughts?
I'll agree with this on one condition: don't hold syntax errors against me. I interviewed for a position about eight months ago. I was rusty with my C (had been doing more java and python around that time), and put "int i = 0" in a for loop on a white board and seemingly had it counted against me. This kind of thing, along with things like missed semicolons, should be ignored by interviewers. Not only is it a simple fix, it also says nothing about the logic in the code.
One thing I'd personally like is an analytics type of view for my stats. i.e. graphs of different stats over time to show improvement. I don't know how much social stuff there is to be done, because steam already has a decent community view. I'd definitely like to talk in depth about it if you're looking to discuss things. My contact info is in my profile if you're interested.
Ok, cool, you've got my cursor. Do you have any ideas on what to add to steam stats on that site somewhere? I'm an avid steam (mostly valve) gamer myself, and I like to keep track of accuracy, headshots, etc. What would you add?
This looks like a game of telephone. WSJ summarized a few research firms and paraphrased cable providers. Then, Gizmodo puts two images next to each other, throws in the word correlation, and acts as if it is a scientific study. If you follow this to the sources, it simply says that there was a decline in subscription for some reason. No data was given about cost of plans, so we do not even know that people are overall spending less money.
Pure speculation here, but I'd bet that this is a direct response to Hulu's price drop in Hulu Plus when opening to the general public[1]. The selection on Netflix is better (well, larger at least), but unless they can at least match the streaming delays that Hulu has, i.e. days vs. seasons, I don't see them winning the online only battle.
It is worth noting the device support advantage, however. Netflix has a well established list of supported devices. This makes it much more convenient than Hulu for the average person, particularly with the amount of households that own a Wii and the relatively low price point of the Apple TV.
I'm not saying they shouldn't be expected to follow SOP, I am saying that I'm not surprised that it doesn't always happen. By no means should this be excused. People make mistakes. It just happens to be the case that this mistake is worse than others and may result in sexual assault charges.
The thing that sets this post apart from others of the same category is the fact that the author was not given a choice in the search. This is exactly what a lot of discussion around here has been about (though admittedly the opposite of the expected outcome). The fact that it was a pat down, not a pat down or a scan is new. In most situations, the TSA could claim the the pat down is a choice, but here that is obviously not possible.
As for the assault claims, I am not surprised. I can't imagine TSA agents always remember to explain exactly what is going to happen. Pat downs are invasive and uncomfortable, but unexpected invasion must be much worse.
I think the problem statement means that each prisoner must find his name independently of one another. e.g. Prisoner 1 opens 50 boxes, finds his name, then the boxes are closed and Prisoner 2 must do the same without any help.
How is this in any way a secret? Sure, they don't go and shutdown sites and disrupt services for months while integrating acquired companies like Google does, but the bottom of the amazon.com home page lists their sites. Amazon buys sites that do well independently, and they do it publicly. For some anecdotal evidence, see the kindle for sale on woot.com when Amazon bought them.
I get what is being said here, and I somewhat agree with it. Telling people something bad happens doesn't actually do anything to stop a bad thing from happening. And yes, having everyone use HTTPS all the time would be a better way to combat firesheep. But the fact is that not everyone is going to do this unless it becomes the out-of-the-box standard for web browsers.
However, blacksheep is not useless as the author suggests. If I am in a Starbucks using wifi, I might be using HTTPS for everything. I also might be using blacksheep. In that case, when alerted that a firesheep user is around, I might make use of the DoS tactics found here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1884176. This allows me to protect other less tech savvy users from firesheep evil-doers, and more importantly, screw with people who are screwing with people.
