Could you please point to some blog/book on why and how more landing pages translate into dollars ? I am a developer but totally new to AdWords or marketing. I had started a campaign for my online products but not getting enough traffic. I appreciate your help. Thanks.
Statement 1: "Rocketr is a collaborative notetaking tool"
Statement 2: "this startup thing ain’t for the faint of heart"
Author is saying: "Making collaborative notetaking tool (and selling it) is not for the faint of heart"
It makes be depressed by this kind of blogs. People are assuming life to be full of comfort if they are not working on startups. Try 9 to 5. It also seems that the younger generation's threshold for pain is way lower. Somehow I don't think people who agree with the blog will ever attempt to goto the moon or build a bridge or build a dam or even do a marathon.
This is so depressing. All these nerd dads are trying to break some kind of record by saying "look my kid can do this at age X". Please consult development psychologist before you stuff your toddler's brain with such garbage. They need to play with physical objects, music, colors, food. go out and have fun. There is plenty of time to learn shell.

Toxic Pattern:
1. Government Restricts the resource artificially
2. Sells the rights to that resource to private owners permanently.
3. The resource owners exploit the population by the scarcity and protects the laws that protects their interests.
How many such patterns can we find in the US ? It should be cataloged.
If Medallion simply represent a permission to drive a taxi, it should be virtualized. It mean replace the physical object with a soft-state of a taxi. By doing that drivers can form a team of taxis that roam around the city and assume "medallion" state only when they provide service to the customers. It would increase the utilization of the medallions to 100%. (more like threads competing for the processor)
That way, for example 5 drivers can lease 3 medallions and pay less to gain the same profits.
