Re:Tesla launch new referral program with $1000 rebate on Monday August 03, 2015 @10:35AM (#9996118)
Has anyone reference in the efficiency of such programs. It seems to me that $1000 will not make a big enough difference to make someone buy a tesla. Most of the buyers that will enjoy the rebate were probably going to buy one anyway.

On the other end the fact that the owner can get up to $10000 with the referral program might push most owner to oversell the quality of Tesla cars.

"You are descended from almost every single human being alive 1,000 years ago."

If a generation is about 30 years then you will have close to 33 ancestors lines in your family tree over those 1000 years. That makes 2^33 ancestors or 10 billion, that's impressive (well there is probably a large overlap)

This is not a high profile acquisition but shows that this can happen in Europe.
Re:Shopigram, a disrupting way to sell online from you iPhone on Friday September 28, 2012 @05:21AM (#4584785)
This app makes it really easy to publish something you want to sell online. It seems like the friction is very low on that side of the transaction. Now, it doesn't seem to make the buying part much easier. I'm wondering how this will evolve.
Re:Metrics from a first week on the iPad App Store. on Monday December 19, 2011 @12:53PM (#3370375)
This is insightful data and sales metrics from a first week on the iPad App Store. Interesting to note that the app was first developed with Flash/Air and later fully ported to Objective-C/iPad with some new interesting gestures.
