We ended up doing that ourselves, moved completely to an internal system that integrates well with our own administrative capabilities. It has been such a breath of fresh air, and …

ASNs can obviously span multiple countries, and aren't a great way to gate this at all. While we block ASNs we KNOW are owned/operated by companies in limited countries, but I coul…

Can really spot someone who has never had to deal with OFAC with a comment like this. Even if I don't necessarily agree with the concept, or who is actually being blocked, my busin…

Exactly what I came in to say, CCR2216 can do this for < $2k, and does it well.

The backlinks derived from PH are generally considered harmful, and rightfully so. It's gamed beyond belief. There is not much to gain from being at the top of PH other than talkin…

I couldn't imagine a better way to describe the current concept of grassroots marketing. Spam, and frankly heavy-handed and bad ways to resolve it (no links get traction, etc) have…

We're working on the successor to Weebly, with https://www.articulationsites.com . My partner and I were founding engineers at Weebly. It's clear that the brand is in decline at th…

As a pretty happily employed Weebly for a few years now, I'm frustrated that you think that, but I'm glad that you went out of your way to register an account to reveal your though…

I was employed when I did my trial week at Weebly, and I had to use a week's vacation to do it. Weebly paid for my time, not to mention the trip to SF. Obviously it was worth it to…

I took a week off at my previous job to trial at Weebly. My previous job had a very strict vacation policy, but I knew the importance of what I was doing. Weebly has an unlimited v…

As both an interviewer and interviewee at Weebly, I'm pretty confident in saying I prefer our approach of the trial week. It really gives a great opportunity for the candidate to s…

Hi, I help run the anti-spam team here at Weebly, and I can report that we're not observing any notifications from Facebook indicating that sites on the Weebly network are blocked.…

It's in their best interest to get rid of all photos posted to the service.

Not exactly genius.
