If someone wanted to use this for "opposition research" purposes, they could run this against any "up and coming" public figures...
* Regional politicians
* TV show contestants
* High school / college athletes
* White collar workers receiving major promotions
* etc.
Take screenshots / records of the tweet, then figure out what to do next. Could range from storing for a rainy day or building a SaaS that reaches out to those folks and helps them find/delete the old content.
A great reminder that showing a bit of gratitude goes a long way, especially to the the oftentimes-thankless builders and maintainers of the OSS we all rely on.
Bravo. In my view, this connection and upside was made appropriately-clear in the "Who are you and why did you build this?" section, and the context from the logo attached to the site.
Very clever marketing, good on you for managing this, and I hope you see a great return for your efforts.
How is directly linking a .mp3 the best way to preview their technology? You'd think there would be a much more elegant solution to showcase Polly on their site.
Hi Kevin, we applied through the conventional application process for S2016 - would there be any merit to starting an "Apply HN" thread as a supplement and opportunity for public discussion?
This is really smart. I feel like it further establishes SeatGeek as the inarguably best destination to buy tickets: peer-to-peer at lowest fees in the industry, combined with the best prices on the web.
If you consider a marketplace to be (demand side) : (supply side), they already have a backstop in the supply side through price-comparison, and can now differentiate their service from other companies with a solid user-uploaded set of tickets.
I love this, simply genius. I think it'll make sense to focus on a few select tasks and scale those with great partners, instead of spreading too wide at first.
The pricing doesn't make all that much sense to me. Why not a simple per-request pricing model with a monthly minimum (after a # of free trials)? Or the ability to simply purchase larger blocks for discount pricing?
