IT this morning suggested that it was "probably worse than Bedlam". Haven't seen any shirts yet though.

The emails didn't affect everyone, just a few dozen thousand. No biggie.
Re:Ask HN: Who is Hiring? (February 2012) on Wednesday February 01, 2012 @01:11PM (#3539157)
San Francisco, CA - Yammer The people who use Yammer regularly tell us that they have better access to information, get less email, collaborate better within and across departments, and feel more valued.

We're growing in revenues and customers rapidly. We really need strong engineering talent but keeping our hiring bar high.

We're going to win because we can move more quickly than our competition: - weekly releases - deep in-house analytics team - not wedded to specific technologies - only as much process as necessary - open and transparent communication across teams and from executive management - constant learning

Salary, benefits, perks are excellent. http://www.yammer.com/jobs

Is the primary problem that you're out of ingredients and don't realize it, or that you see a bunch of ingredients and aren't sure what to do with them?

Re:KISSmetrics' bizarre pricing decision on Tuesday July 13, 2010 @12:36PM (#1511885)
Cindy here - if you were a beta user or ever asked a KISSmetrics question, you probably talked to me.

We at KISSmetrics did not come to our pricing decision lightly. After over 6 months in beta, we looked at the data and identified our happiest, most engaged customers - the people who were asking questions, making suggestions, and generally getting the most value out of the product, and priced it in accordance with the amount of value they were getting.

We did have some very dedicated early-stage startup customers in our beta, and we have worked with them to make sure they can continue to use us. (It's amazing what asking nicely will get you!) We will be publicly announcing startup programs in the future, but we wanted to focus on our existing beta customers first - the product wouldn't be here without them.

(We also have no problem with it if several startups want to split a KISSmetrics account - 1MM events could easily support a dozen early-stage startups.)

You have paying customers - great! Ask them why they're paying for your service. Ask them to describe the value they're getting. Then (minimally) clean up those words and use them on your website. No one can market your product better than the people who are using/loving it.
Re:Ask HN: Any alternatives to Mixpanel ? on Tuesday March 23, 2010 @04:35PM (#1213954)
You can, but we'd really like to talk with you to understand more about what you're trying to do (if it's a valid use case for you, it probably is for others, and we want to make sure we get it).

Email calvarez at kissmetrics.com and I can help you get started.
