the fact your asking means you already know it's a bad idea, the question is whether you can handle the repercussions if it goes wrong.

Yo, this question is way too general. Basically the equivalent of me asking: Is it good to sacrifice my love for a career? How can we give a suggestion without any information?

Mobile marketing through Twitter and Facebook is generally effective. Unfortunately they want to milk you to death with Ad costs so they have a policy against sweepstakes, coupons …

Unfortunately the marketing community is much more scarce and scattered than the development community. I have had the same issues myself.

From what I understand Y-Combinator assists startups with incorporation. A Delaware C-Corp is pretty standard to allow Common shares for founders and preferred shares for Venture C…

No, but that's not the point. The e-commerce space is very different than the product space. They are applying the same logic in both, which is a mistake.

A lot of people on here are defending Amazon "because they take risks". Yea of course they do, they burn capital like a startup; when they have been in business for ~20 years. That…

Are we going to argue semantics on HN? If I show my app to anyone, which he did. Whether it is a news station or my mom it is marketing. He didn't just magically see it, the develo…

Sorry m3mnoch is down-voting anyone who mentions marketing. Join the club.

People like you poison this site's ecosystem. Anytime you receive any counter to your misguided opinion you can silence the dissent by down-voting. Nothing you have said provides a…

You proved my point " The first serious buzz happened when blogger ad technical Robert Scoble wrote about Yo after a visit to Israel. He called it “the stupidest” but “most addicti…

Their is also a lot of evidence to show Flappy Bird's position in the top apps placement was because of gray hat marketing.

Read the story of how it came to be, it was marketing. Keep in mind also the name itself is a huge reason for this.

That being said their are also examples of what you say working, but I have spoke to many people who have worked on AAA titles on mobile which have spent millions on R&D, with the …

Sorry but you're vastly underestimating the power of marketing. "Yo" was basically an entirely marketing play, same with Flappy Bird, and their are several more examples. Candy Cru…

That isn't limited to Scientists my friend.
