Actually, employees don't give a shit about the companies they work at and they should be treated as such. If it's not their own company all they care about at the end of the day are the money they get (the more, the better), the conditions they get and to complain about every single fucking thing. All this while trying to trick you as much as possible by not being efficient or trying to become better at what they are doing, on their own.
So I'd urge owners of companies to hire and fire people quick. There are rarely good people who stay within a company for more than 2 years and who care about what they do. Those people usually become part of it (partners).
The rest are just there temporary, so treat them as such: shitty replacement parts.

Hey Tyler, I hate to do this to you (and to SnapWidget and others), but there's something cooking.
With the API and feature rich product updates that are coming up, I think we'll hit a cross road. I don't think I have to go into details, you'll figure it out with this sample widget + Editor: http://blogvio.com/widgets/util/map-with-google-maps/composi...
I just want to let you know that we appreciate you opened up and shared your story. I checked your product and it's cool. Keep up the good work! Don't hate the messenger. :-)

They released this amazing piece of hardware, and then they can use the same technology to complement it with an app. So you have both worlds happy - with or without a smartphone in the house. ;)

Best idea ever, wow what a great product and functionality! This should be in every house! :-)
Amazon acts like a startup still. Good for them!

Guys, how is this different from http://gridster.net? Or is Gridster done by you?

We've had this same problem at Blogvio. Users asked us why we need access to their entire Dropbox. And indeed we didn't need - but we didn't know better either.
After a bit of research we found out we can have a specific folder set to Blogvio that would sync with the system. And that, combined with something like Zapier is a much better solution that we envisioned first. Learning by mistakes! :-)

Let's see. There's a few somewhat passive channels for us.
We just launched our product Blogvio (http://www.blogvio.com) which is yet break even. Right now we're only partnering with platforms to white label our Editor and widgets, but we'll soon release a pricing plan for all users of the website.
Our 2008 marketplace Flabell (http://www.flabell.com) (flash products... I know) is still going strong, although we too think Flash is dead. People still buy those components, so we still provide support for them. We stopped advertising though a few years back. :-)
Same goes for our Flash Components on ActiveDen, these still sell a couple of hundreds every month. So it's still passive income after 6yrs+. :)

Iasi, Romania, FULLTIME
Blogvio - We’re an early-stage startup focused on making content distribution easy and fun!
We are currently seeking a few developers to join the team and help us reach our goals. Our web stack is based on Symfony, a custom implementation of SpineJS / CoffeeScript and MongoDB. Ideally you’re also experienced with Stylus / NIB, enjoy analytics and have some front end skills (Ajax, HTML5, CSS3).

Correct. :)
It surprised us as well. We were expecting to have quite a spike in the traffic, since 100k users is a lot. And it is also the reason why Twitter went so big with the IPO in the first place.
What happened instead is this: http://o7.no/1dgSQg7 (only 29 clicks from Twitter directly)
http://o7.no/1dgTkCR (I will attribute this growth to Twitter for the sake of helping them look better, although it isn't - we've been approaching different user acquisition hacks)
But now I'm actually wondering how many of these Twitter accounts are real. I'd guess 5% tops, or lower. Is it actually worth advertising with Twitter at all?

We don't plan to share any numbers yet. We think it makes it more interesting to hear your expectations first.
