Enjoyed the interview a great deal, thanks Andrew. His strategy for locking out the press was brilliant. One thing - I'm unable to skip forward in the video. The Firefox beta crashed on me midway through watching, and being unable to restart the video halfway was maddening. Is this intentionally disabled?
* How HOTorNOT negotiated away some of their biggest expenses using techniques you could (and should) use right now.
* How a bad economy could help your company grow. (It helped HOTorNOT.)
* The most effective way to increase conversions and get more users to pay. (It’s not what you’d expect.)
* The step James ADDED to his order process that increased sales. (It’s still an under-utilized technique)

* Many large companies fail in a bad economy while lean, agile businesses have opportunity to thrive and gain market share.
* Make the site fast and leverage the press thereby using the funnel model; more users at the top of the funnel means more customers at the bottom.
* They added a phrasal template to allow unpaid users to send "canned messages" to each other. Only paying members can send custom messages.

It was painful for me to work with it, which is why I didn't post it.
I'm still trying to find a quick way to get my interviews transcribed and still maintain accuracy.
