Would be great if I could adjust the bass myself a bit. Some songs are now just a bit too much. Furthermore vocals are missing that spark and sound quite dull. I have the idea that you are boosting the mids which pushes high freqs a bit to the background.

"Video conversations with up to 8 people for free."
Guess there will be a paid plan later which allows more people.

What would be the difference from tools like http://tinypng.org and http://www.jpegmini.com/main/shrink_photo ?

I think he meant that the actual conversion to a paid customer. Of course you will get more sign ups (we saw the same at Usabilla), but that doesn't mean those additional sign ups will convert into a paid customer.
We have seen as well that there is less dedication from a customer when they sign up without a credit card. People sign up and forget about it, because it isn't paid anyway (even when you send them regular update emails). When requiring a cc for sign up the user is more motivated to actually trial the product and see if there is a fit.
It basically shifts the drop by sign ups from the actual users who want to use your product for a longer period.
Above is all from B2B experience. B2C can be totally different.

First, people seem to think EC2 saves you time and hassle. Compared to collocated servers, this is true. But compared to dedicated servers, managed or unmanaged, it simply isn't. Hardware fails? They'll replace it (at no cost).
I totally disagree. OK, maybe it takes a bit more time to set everything up, but when you have it all up and running (AMI's, Autoscaling, etc.) you have a robust setup that can scale when you scale (up or down). Adding a new instance literally only takes some minutes. Try that with a dedicated setup. It's more expensive for sure, but comes with a lot of flexibility.
What I see as an EC2 (or AWS in general) issue / challenge is that it's hard to switch providers. When you use S3, SQS, Cloudwatch, Elasticache, Cloudfront, DynamoDB, SES, Route53 your code is totally integrated / adapted to AWS. You can't take your code and deploy it on a different setup elsewhere.

I was quite astonished when reading about their insane growth. Most of the companies we talk to in The Netherlands (Telco's, E-commerce, Banking / insurance, travel) are using VWO, Sitespect and last week I heard two clients talk about Maxymiser. Not one time I heard them talk about Optimizely. Seems there is still a lot of room for growth (at least in NL).
We (usabilla.com) are using Optimizely with great satisfaction though!
Stack: AWS, MongoDB, Elastic Search, Go, AngularJS, PHP (Symfony 2). Awesome team & most beautiful office in Amsterdam (https://instagram.com/usabilla/)
