    unless the search capability is excellent, having 24/7 videos on the computer would not be useful. Without good search, you would have to know the time that you wanted to review. I…

    We are similar that 3 of us are in the same city, but not very close. The 4th is out of state, but travels at least once a month. The major difference is that we are all full time …

    It depends on the the service. I use freshbooks, and their plans are roughly based on number of customers you have. I don't mind paying more the more customers I have, because it m…

    I've looked at several competing services. I look for screen shots, videos, test accounts and finally a real account. Just keep in mind that you don't want to be too focused on wha…

    From what I can tell EC2 instances are pretty under powered for the price. There are a lot of good things about EC2, but the small instances are not that great. The good thing is y…

    It does take time. You say you have spent the last 5 months full time. How much of that has been in development vs marketing? How are you reaching out to restaurants to populate th…

    Paying customers is the best measure of success for me. Feedback is good, but I find that it's very hard to get feedback. I'm in a boring B2B market, so there is less people talkin…
