#2Big congrats to Peter, Raphel and the whole team! A solid service and solves a real problem that developers go through every time they start a new project & update their existing ones. Excited to see what you come up with next.

#3I wonder how much of that 15m was spent to buy the .com domain? Interestingly the domain was registered by DomainsByProxy, why is a real company hiding their contact info behind DomainsByProxy?
That being said, I've used them for a little over a year and a half now and am quite pleased. The "one stop shop" for integrating all the analytics and email stuff is great

#5Segment is great -- the team helped me with a complex mobile app issue, and Peter personally came to my office, opened up code, and helped solve it. Segment is providing stellar developer support and service to me and my client. Congratulations!

#6Excellent news! We've used them at Spreedly for a long time now (a lot of similarities in some ways) The biggest benefit for us is it helped us run MixPanel and KissMetrics side by side for an extended period of time before finally deciding. I think too there is an enterprise API that will be exposed allowing us to send the raw data to some custom tools?

#9Why drop the .io and spend cash on the .com?I'd guess it was somewhere in the 10k-60k range...
Does the tld really matter? My hunch is that .io is perceived as a toy product TLD and .com is where 'real' business is done?
This kind of sentiment sucks though because other startups probably see it as well and will needlessly shell out cash for a .com.
