As your first campaign you should try to catch a large audience like people in US over 18.. that's it ! and test your ad copy first... then base on your data you can decide the perfect demography for your app.. Are you going to blow money on the first second and third iteration ... the answer is yes but at least you will know exactly what's work best for your app on facebook...Ad campaign optimization is not easy. My best advice is to use a great ad tracking tool... you must track everything... no guessing game here... Finally a small variation is you copy and/or app presentation could have drive better results with the same $30.....don't give up :)
node.js is sexier when it doesn't serve stacktraces in production. Plus async files reads still happen in an internal threadpool (one thread per core, hardcoded, IIRC) so it's pretty easy to saturate that anyway, you should be caching static assets.
Last time I checked you still need a data plan to download and load your favorite apps music videos emails etc... Is The web changing? The answer is yes. Is the web Dying. The answer is a vibrant no. We are more connected than never. It is an interesting era for software developers with creativity....
let me review this... an advertising company wants even more data about me... remind me those anti-virus software... let me scan your computer for free and boom even more spywares .... IP+browser info+SSN+full name+ location....that's gold !!! don't know how many people is going to complete the form but that's a great marketing campaign... scare people to create a sense of urgency...
I like JavaScript and node.js but I simply can't wrap my head around callbacks. Some people simply love to nest callbacks... Anytime I see that it drives me crazy....
Callbacks are possibly not the best way to solve concurrency issues. Node.js does it that way, but there's no inherent reason JavaScript should only solve concurrency problems with callbacks. It would be possible to implement a wide variety of concurrency models in JavaScript, and I'm sure people have and will. Node.js happens to be the early winner in that space.
We are still pretty early in the JavaScript story on the server side.
someone was able to edit the admin info. I checked with other whois tools and the SEA e-mail address is all over the place.... However I'm not sure they were able to do more than that...
Internet marketers are panicking right now. I've received a dozen of e-mails to teach me how to bring their "not promotions" e-mails back to my primary inbox...Hate it or love it but I think Microsoft Yahoo Apple are going to follow that trend too... Of course the system is not perfect yet but it is something regular people are going to love...at least my mom love it. I have 5 tabs up and running.I have more control over my inbox now. I can understand why internet marketers are mad because it is a new ball game to be next to Facebook updates versus in a box alone with other promotion e-mails... In the long term your brand your goodwill are your only and best weapons...Open Rates are just one metric because you can have one open and 5 conversions versus 5 opens and 0 conversions... the main difference here could be that one open leads to 10 shares on Facebook....This new UX is a non issue...it is really time to disrupt the e-mail system
great it's Instagram with a business model... Smart move from Dropbox and Snapjoy ... I guess Dropbox is going to be your main smart and easy to use hard drive in the cloud... That's a serious business if they are able to pull that off..
ugm, that "serious" business (I don't think they make money as of today) competes with Google.. you know, THE google, that gives you 5GB free, instead of D-B 2.
I say they have serious _competition_. But serious business -- not so much.
They made 240 million last year in revenue. Not sure about what their burn rate is but they seem to be on the up and getting integrated into a lot of applications which improves their tie ins.
Google gives away their storage but it is nowhere near the level of ease as Dropbox for non-technical people IMHO.
I like wavo but before I tell you why I like it let me tell you what I don’t like. I simply hate the whole facebook sign in option… (looks like I’m not the only one) Therefore it’s been a long time since I had checked my wavo profile. I don’t hate facebook but sometimes you don’t want to share every single thing.
Now what I like: the UI is great.
Let me dig deeper and share with you my experience with wavo. Like I said I never sign in but every week I receive an e-mail from them. In that e-mail I have links to a playlist. The playlist is what’s popular at the moment on wavo.
This is the single feature that I love because I am able to discover new artists and new songs. Some songs are mainstream but the vast majority is not.
Of course I would love to tell you that there are more features on wavo but I simply don’t bother to sign in.
We recently added clearer ways to turn seamless sharing off with Facebook. You can either disable it for four hours by clicking on the switch in the top right or by going into your preferences and disabling it permanently.
Right now Facebook makes life easy in certain ways and is obviously an effective way to acquire users but we're getting to the point where we've got most of the basic user experience figured out so a secondary way of signing in is moving up in our priority list. Really glad you like the emails and hope we can get you on-boarded into the full experience soon.
