Thanks for the summary, I started reading but wasn't going to get far on this one.


Why? I think climate change is happening personally,but why the need to cling to it like religion.

If evidence comes out, look at it, revaluate, repeat...


The problem is that evidence has come out, been confirmed, etc multiple times. Evidence is clear that if we want to avoid the consequences we need to act. However we can't act, in significant part because a large portion of the population is unwilling to believe that the consequences exist.


This article was posted last night and I don't see any significant price change on Bitcoins from it. This might be the first instance of government getting really interested in digital currency, it will be interesting to see how traders react.


The exact same thing happened with e-gold a decade ago. Expect an unsealed indictment with federal conspiracy and RICO charges to follow shortly.


You should make it possible for people to explore it a bit more organically, say I click on a color, it should show other pallets with that color. It would also be nice to have an easy save image feature if someone finds a color they really like.


I can give you feedback on the website becuase it is what stopped me from learning more about your product.

First off, your page loads quite slowly, and the colors are rather unappealing. There's a lot of empty space above the fold and nothing that really enticed me to keep looking. I would definitely advise you to find a designer to help with your webpage.

Also, there isn't a clear place to click above the fold. When you're selling something you need to make it as easy as possible for people to enter your sales funnel.


Oh thank you very much! Your advice is very helpful! But right now, site design does not affect the number of visitors and their returns, we have decided to concentrate all efforts on the product - templates themselves, and it is about them wants to get feedback from those people who have already received a link to download and try it. Thanks for your advice on the design!


YOu need to take a second to think about what Google is doing here. Again, Google is being clever about getting data from you. Take a moment and ask yourself why they're doing this...

Google want to connect your browser information with your phone information. And they're doing a good job.


This is not new. As an Android user and Chrome user, it's very convenient.


Not long ago, my site's search traffic jumped by about 120%, I hadn't posted anything new or done much SEO type stuff so I assumed it was because of a Google algorithm change.

As a site, we've never done link building or any type of black hat tricks to grow our site, and it seems like Google is rewarding that. So personally I applaud any effort that rewards quality content over SEO tricks.


I hope dropbox builds on what Mailbox is currently doing. It would suck if mailbox just went away because Dropbox just wanted to get some more talent.


I think this is obviously not just a talent acquisition. An email client is something that Dropbox needs in the long run to provide awesome integrated experience for your productivity tasks. Without it, they won't be able to compete with Google on user experience.

I'm really happy for this acquisition. It could be an early sign of a new trend in which companies heading to IPO buy strategic products and teams in the early stages to build something awesome together.

Facebook's Instagram acquisition could be seen this way, but it was much more defensive move. Mailbox acquisition is clearly done from more win-win perspective.


Personally, I find Google+ to be a much more interactive and enjoyable experience, especially for tech oriented people. On Twitter I follow Tech Crunch and PandoDaily.


fair enough. who would you recommend on g+?


I've experienced the same thing, off of 1,300 visits for an off topic article we got about 7 leads. When we posted something clearly targeting our market our conversion rate jumped to around 10%
