Awesome added service! :)

Who is going to move to Toronto to join the tech scene? If given the choice who is going to choose Toronto over Bay Area or Seattle?

Without it having a massive draw it won't even register compared to Bay Area or even Seattle.

Definitely a valid concern. And ideally I think it would be more open to competition. Though at least with this it's creating competition for Comcast, which currently is the only way to get adequate internet here (and a lot of other places). Also the company (Cruzio) has been in the community for decades, is run by a local family, and has done a lot for the community over the years. They are way more connected to Santa Cruz then Comcast ever will be. Not to say they couldn't abuse this situation and that concern deserves a good response. I'm not affiliated with Cruzio, though I was a customer way back in the dialup days.

Comcast upgraded their network in Santa Cruz in response to this. Amazing what a little competition will do.

Summary: guy gets hired by company he doesn't like in an industry he doesn't like by someone he doesn't like. Spends a year there doing things he doesn't like. Writes book about what he didn't like about it.

I'm sure HunSpot isn't for everyone. But I'm also sure it's awesome for some people. They make a real product people find useful and helps them run their business.

Don't believe everything you read. Especially when it's to promote something (like a book or a company).

2 years in and you haven't launched? You need to launch. Without real feedback how do you know if you are building something people actually want?

Definitely, 27 is pretty low. But it did drive a lot more traffic than being #5 on Show. Which I think is interesting. I would have thought more people looked at Show. But I guess not.

Sure, but hopefully providing some insight for others! It was definitely a learning experience.

I use Dark Sky on the iPhone which gives me similar data and alerts.

But I have to say I really like the game/fun UX/UI feeling of your site.

I had looked at it briefly before and took another look at it today. Definitely some of the same angles we are hitting. But I'd say, yes they are more on the Microsoft Project end of the spectrum and we are trying to be more on the Trello / Basecamp end. Have you tried Smartsheet? They say they have a 1 million users but I've never seen / heard of anyone using it.

Contact us at [email protected]. We'd love to have you as a beta tester and incorporate your feedback into the product over the coming weeks. We are working hard on it.
