Re:Show HN: Filepicker.io - dead simple file uploads on Thursday April 19, 2012 @09:49PM (#3866151)
Hey Liyan, I would want this as something I, as the developer, could specify. A social site might want all the options there, but for my sites I'm worried about conversion and wouldn't want the added confusion of having upload choices that my customers are rarely going to use.

Great I'll be following the progress. One more thing I would really need is the ability to remove and order the upload options.

Brett,

This is great and I would pay to use it in a second if it could handle uploads on the iphone/ipad (something like http://www.aurigma.com/iphone/). I just signed up for the developer key. Will you be emailing that list with feature updates/news? Thanks

Great post. We have a similar experience and its nice to read about those of us who didn't start coding / building our companies until late 20s/30s.
That fixed it. Thanks! Just started playing with it and this is EXACTLY what I have been looking for.
I am having the same issue. Please let us know if there is a way to get this working in google apps mail.
Really cool idea. I have a canvas printing company and we'll print pg's map for free if you like.
An idea for the future might be to somehow tie in with sites like elance or have your own outsourcing program. It'd be nice to be able to manage the internal projects and outsourced projects in one place.
I'm late to the party but I have been looking for something exactly like this. To make a tool like this to work, I would need to get the team on board, so I'll probably wait a bit for the initial bugs to get worked out, But we'll be a customer...just do regular email updates so I know when to jump in.

You may want to check out craiglook.com. They allow you to search craigslist by distance from zip code. That comes in really handy when looking for something specific and could be a good feature to build into your site. Good luck!
Re:DuckDuckGo Sponsorship By The Numbers on Thursday June 03, 2010 @04:04PM (#1402361)
Hey vaksel,

I can your point about the PRWeb sales, but the reddit ad pct that I attributed to DDG sponsorship was the percentage above average and we've been advertising on Reddit for a few months now. Also, that was also immediate sales. We have a very good percentage of customers that reorder, especially around the holidays, so the final number will be much higher, probably by a multiple of 3 or 4.

Re:DuckDuckGo Sponsorship By The Numbers on Thursday June 03, 2010 @03:49PM (#1402306)
Hey ig1,

We have a pretty high reorder rate so the cumulative effect of the sponsorship will probably be more than double the initial sales.

Has anyone else seen an odd customer like this?

We have a retail website and we have a customer who continually orders around 200 dollars worth of product. He then writes in to cancel the order immediately. He's done this about 10 times this year. He's always polite and apologetic, but I can't figure out if he has some impulse control/shopping issue or if he's doing some sort of hack. Has anyone experienced this?
