It's kind of interesting how long it takes status.heroku.com to update - based on our experience and response on twitter, it was about 10 minutes.

SEEKING FREELANCERS - (SF or Remote)
We're Gustin, a premium crowdsourced menswear brand. Looking to bring on another full stack rails engineer for a consistent 10 hours/week of feature development on our platform.
Design / UX / analytics experience a plus. We'd prefer to pay more for an experienced engineer who will do things right the first time.
Email us at [email protected] to chat.

I've been in the beta trial of this, and it works pretty well.
A few thoughts: 1) It would be really great if I could schedule when the pagesnaps were taken 2) It'd be nice to be able to take snaps of only one div 3) Would be very cool if there was a URL that always had the most recent snap

Funny thing - FADC (one of Dustin's groups seen in the screenshot) is getting a ton of requests today.

I launched a company once on April 1. Realized the date after we'd announced to everyone. We were worried about it impacting launch (is this a joke?), but all was good.

I don't think many people are worried about the 5% Kickstarter cut. Jon and Marshal were probably more interested in having users signed up with their service (which kickstarter wouldn't guarantee)

Continuously! We make men's clothing (jeans, shirts, etc.,) - the team always wears our own clothing to test and just do life in general. http://www.weargustin.com

You can put a cap on it by limiting the # of backers for any given reward level (this is what we did), but most of the big campaigns screw themselves by letting it overrun
