    Honestly - we've been meaning to release an API once we get our new backend out. Of course that's been the hiccup - it's been almost ready for far too long :) Ping me via www.exami…

    Yup 100%. Worst case, I could have still turned it around and immediately sold it for 25k. If I was more patient, likely 35k. To me, ignoring the opportunity cost of the cash itsel…

    That's a bit simplistic. Having "Examine.com" as our brand brought us weight - the domain is easy to remember, easy to understand, has a link to what we're selling, and so forth. B…

    Have considered it. Problem is our audience trends older, and they may be confused by what bitcoin is (and checkouts are all about ease of use).

    Hihi. We have a wiki-backend, but the reality is that our subject matter is far too specialized. The edits are not as frequent as you'd imagine - one of our guys does the lead rese…

    Thanks! We've tried to be as non-condescending as possible. It's not hard being right, it's hard to teach/show someone the truth.

    We _may_ eventually start looking into doing our own original research, but at this time, zero plans. We do have plans to start publishing some of our research as meta-reviews, but…

    Thanks for the kind words, and good luck. We're thankfully at a stage now where we're well cashflow positive so we can just focus on what we do best. > Soylent Beyond the link that…

    It's easier and simpler. While we linked to only the generic search from Amazon.com, it's easier to doubt the research when we still profit from the sales. Examine.com is run as a …

    We sell a Reference (oriented towards professionals) and Stack Guides (oriented towards the layperson).

    It definitely helped. But, I've been a redditor for 8 years now anyway - http://www.reddit.com/user/AhmedF/ - so it was just a natural fit. In terms of generating revenue or people…
