#2This is great - well done! I don't suppose you'd be happy to share the details of your italian Whizz Kid ;)
How did you build your partnerships - did you already have the relationships before you built the product or did you have to pitch them from scratch? Did you already have a relationship with the guys you gave the 8 free tests for testimonials to?
I'd really like to find out more.

#3So you are basically proud of retrieving money on the back of an underpaid 16 year old developer?

#4No proof, so it kinda looks like you are just advertising your app through this blog post with no "real" information.

The idea behind pinpioneer didn't come from the 16yo. The 16yo is apparently a good programmer and was hired to do the development of this product.
Did you write the Chairman of McDonald's to ask the same question because they have employed millions of teenagers in their business?

#7Looks like you took care of a real problem some companies have. Just one question: Where do the origional photo's come from? From other pinterest users? Because I think you said you add a watermark to the images, right? Won't that cause copyright issues?

Whoever reports great profit and employs people while underpaying them, has to expect the same reaction from me. McDonald's in general is not a company, I have a lot of respect for.
If the author would have reported, that he turned his cheap idea into profit by implementing it by himself, or by paying reasonable wages, I would definitely show more respect.

No need to be snarky. Have you been on any freelance sites recently? I've seen grown men bid less than $10/hour - I can't attest to the quality of said bidders, but they're out there in amass. All things considered, $12/hr as a 16 year old is not that bad. When I was 16, I made $5.9/hr working at a gas station.

That's nothing. When I was 16, I carried gas in a pail uphill from the pump to the car, and uphill back to the pump again, in the snow and in my barefeet for $5.9/hr
