Viewing profile — betterlabs

Awesome - glad to see PicBackMan on the list. We are excited about our mission to end photo backup anxiety for everyone around the world!

I believe investors and startups that are / were looking for Facebook as an easy exit were not building a company / business anyway. Such a situation is better overall for everyone…

Here is a blog post that describes the inspiration behind PicBackMan and how it works: http://www.picbackman.com/general/backup-photos-into-multipl... . Would love to hear your com…

Just downloaded and tried it and it looks really good. It has the simplicity of Notepad which I keep going back to after trying a new app and I have tried "many". I only wish they …

The right thing to do. However, their 2nd paragraph should have been the one starting with "We believe you should have control when it comes to sharing your personal information...…

This is insightful especially since we have thought about this problem and had not come up with a solution. I am assuming all the icons will be unique though, else it may lead to a…

Rapportive is best amongst the products that add social profiles so this is an awesome outcome. Congratulations to the team! I always wondered how they could turn it into a busines…

Great post and I couldn't agree more on how important retention is for web businesses. Our product, Nurture ( http://www.nurturehq.com ), addresses this need in a flexible fashion …

If Google+ is aimed to be a utility then yes, I agree with your point of view. But if they are looking to create a competing product to Facebook then, I am not sure that creating a…

I don't get it. It just feels like they are trying to do too much too soon. I don't know any other than marketers who are building content on Google+ and I wonder what their engage…

Nice work. I love the way the new Path app looks / works but not a big fan of the fly out menu. It adds an additional click versus having a simple bar of the actions appear at the …

They were my own :-)

Yep, I remember that line. But I believe it doesn't speak about "giving up your life" to do the startup. There is a big difference, I feel, between "low intensity work" and "workin…

I was actually referring to PG's views on that issue that Arrington wrote about. And the whole discussion definitely applies to founder and their startups too, imo. The issues are …

I would love to hear PG's comment / viewpoint on this whole issue. I have done 3 startups so far (1 VC funded, 2 bootstrapped) and I work very hard because I love it BUT I never ev…

I ended up jumping straight to the 3 points and loved them. Having said that, I think negotiation is a skill that is cultivated over a long period of time through experiences (and …

Its unbelievable how business (school) buzzwords and tactics tend to overlook the most important aspects of a particular industry / problem / scenario that are non-financial in nat…

Sorry but IMHO, this is the classic "product looking for a problem" example. There are several things I believe make products like this tough to succeed, most important of which is…

Yelp is an awesome service, but I am surprised to see that they are still not profitable. Considering an annual revenue run rate of approx. $70m, I am wondering what costs them $70…

The hardest thing is to take this learning (and the concept of deliberate practice) and hack it to your startup founder role and your chaotic day. Its easy to say that this concept…

You articulated my point better than I could have. I too guessed and have always believed vertical listings are "more natural" way of consuming information than the grid listings. …

I already discover most new content via Facebook and the only missing piece is search. If Facebook builds a search engine and integrates within its core experience sooner than Goog…

I couldn't agree more. Even if we assume there is a justifiable reason or perhaps its happening only to employees who have not performed (which I doubt can be the case considering …

I am not sure what is new about this. There are multiple alternatives (similar) and ways of using other services like Dropbox to do this. Its a "marketing" and "user experience" ga…
