PPT Presentations Are Not Executive Summaries

Twtbuck -A tool for Affiliate Marketing – Case Study
http://twtbuck.com/blog/2011/01/twtbuck-a-tool-for-affiliate-marketing-case-study/111
People normally ask for what businesses Twtbuck is most helpful. We have found that twtbuck can work wonders for businesses where online sales or lead generation or sign ups are core part of business like Affiliate marketing(sales), Jobs, Travel, Daily deals, Coupons etc
We are starting a case study series for all these industries/markets to explain the role of Twtbuck and results that came after experimenting Twtbuck in each individual case.

Lets start with affiliate marketing :
Affiliate marketing is nothing but selling stuff online and earning the commission associated with it. Huge number of affiliate marketers are doing this to earn decent amount of money from Affiliate marketing. Normally the process involved is :
1. Select an affiliate product network like commission junction or clickbank. We tried Clickbank.
2. Select couple of products you want to market and create sales
3. Create a microsite, blog and fill related content and insert the affiliate links.
4. Use PPC to get targeted hits and create sales

Alright, so we selected 5 products from clickbank with gravity score over 100. To begin with we started an advertiser account with $100 and created a total of 15 campaigns for those 5 products i.e. 3 tweet ad copies for each products. And set CPT ( cost per tweet) to a maximum of $0.10

All the accounts were active and publishers started tweeting those ads. We continued this experiment for around 3 weeks and 3 days, spent almost $350 in ads and generated a total revenue of around $3600
Lessons from the second person I coded for...
http://aztechbeat.com/2013/06/it-its-gonna-get-wierd-get-there-fast-12-lessons-learned-from-chris-johnson-of-terralever-and-a-few-stories-too/
This is worth watching. I started working for him at a IT services company that produced the first SkyMall ecommerce website. That services company eventually IPOed, went bust during the dot com bubble. He left that company at the low of the dot com bubble and formed his own. Somehow he managed to build a services company that has done business with Microsoft, Red Bull, etc. The lessons discussed in this video are real and honest.
Source for tool to set Finder Label colors in OS X
https://github.com/McUsr/macLabel
Hello.
I figured it was ok, to leverage a little on the GUI, when having a HFS+ file system. Life can be a little bit easier, at least more discernible, when you can set label colors from the command line, and have them show in the finder (quickview work so much better from there).

Ask HN: How do founders feel about testing a new form of company valuation?
Considering that the valuation's of many startups are derived from the number of users, I wonder what the view's of entrepreneurs are in regards to the change of development-indicators. Once upon a time, profits and revenue were most important, and people didn't have nearly as much pleasure from what they bought then, as we do today but, simultaneously money circulated through a company in a logical fashion. Now however, everything seems to be changing, or maybe it has already changed. Does anyone think that the new system of using user growth as the most important development-indicator is flawed? Or, is it better to delay the need for monetization, and focus more on extremely high valuations based on user growth even though money is, in a way, being poured down the drain a thousand times faster than its being created? I know that mentioning valuation might bring forth comments relating to how entrepreneurs want their company to grow in ways other than valuation, and in some cases may not care for valuation at all. Yet, I still feel it's important to mention, because even if you're not caring about the valuation for your own sake, nor the sake of user growth- directly- the valuation is still you're most significant bargaining chip when you try to collect money to achieve those other, more prominent, goals.

Just to be clear, I am not denouncing this new method. In fact, I think it's great! The users finally are getting what they deserve- a quality product. However, I want to hear what other people think of it.

Ask HN: What do I need to know about Heroku to launch my app?
I have been developing my first rails application using free server space from Heroku. Now that I am pondering going live (a small private beta), I'm assuming that I'll have to move beyond the free space I've been developing with. The problem is I know absolutely nothing about any of this - dynos, workers, etc. I've looked over the Heroku website and docs a few times, but it looks like it requires a basic level of sys admin knowledge - something I certainly do not have.

How do I know how many dynos or workers to add? What if I add too many and I'm wasting money? Or do they scale up as needed? Do I need a dedicated database? I read something about free Heroku apps shutting down if idle for 24 hrs, causing a short delay the next time the app is launched. How do I prevent this from happening? Please educate me on Heroku, HN!

Thanks!

What Is Ethics?
http://protogenist.wordpress.com/2012/09/02/what-is-ethics/
The field of ethics (or moral philosophy) involves systematizing, defending, and
recommending concepts of right and wrong behavior.” Normative ethics is a subfield
that seeks to develop a set of morals or guiding principles to influence the
conduct of individuals and groups within a population (such as a profession,
religion, or society at large). Three main strategies for arriving at these moral
standards have emerged over time

What I learned about Javascript from Doug Crockford
http://contextisall.blogspot.com/2010/09/what-i-learned-about-javascript-from.html
One thing the book (Javascript: The Good Parts) lacks is a summary of all the good advice in the form of a best practice list. Now, such lists are useful as long as we keep in mind that nearly every "rule" has an exception. Perhaps Crockford deliberately avoided the problems that can come from separating recommendations from their explanation and justification.

Nevertheless, I want to present some of his recommendations as a list that you can apply without necessarily knowing their background. I highly recommend that you consult Crockford's book for more details.
How would you remake this video? 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWxUaGCL3hk
Hi,
Recently we found ourselves second-guessing the messages in our Product Into video: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWxUaGCL3hk)
Our main concern are:
- Is it clear enough or should we provide additional explanation?
- Is it too "light" for the technical crowd?
- Is it too crowded with features and should be more focused?

I would love to get your feedbacks on these points (or any other you wish to raise). We might be just "sitting too close" to notice our mistakes or our strong points. HN community is held in high regard in our offices and this could really influence the discussion.

Thanks

Show HN: ICal.Ninja - Embed Customized ICal Calendars on Your Website
https://ical.ninja/
Background: I'm an older, self-taught developer who was a team parent for my kid's sports team. I wanted to embed our Teamsnap ICal calendar in our team's Squarespace website only to find out that its kind of a pain in the ass. Yes, you can use Google Calendar to do it but the design looks about 15 years old.

So, a couple Fridays ago with a bottle of wine and some open source help from ICal.Net & FullCalendar.io, I got something working. Spent the last few weeks cleaning it up and adding in a subscription component. Hoping to break even on hosting.

I know this is a niche thing that I pretty much built to scratch my own itch. I anticipate tens (if not DOZENS!) of other potential users are out there...but, what the heck...you are supposed to "Just Ship It", right?? (https://kitze.io/posts/saddest-just-ship-it-story-ever)

Tech Startup Provides Consumers Insurance Advice From Licensed Agents At No Cost
http://www.InsuranceLibrary.com/
InsuranceLibrary.com, a St. Paul, MN based tech startup, is launching an online consumer insurance knowledge base. The website, whose user base provides expert insurance advice and answers to at no cost, only allows actively licensed insurance agents to participate in answering questions.<p>St. Paul, Minnesota, April 3, 2013 - InsuranceLIbrary.com, a Quora-like question & answers website focused on the topic of insurance, officially launched their website to the public on April 3rd. The website, which allows consumers to ask questions related to auto, life, health, home, medicare and renters insurance, only allows licensed insurance agents to provide answers. Every agent is validated by their National Producers Number before they are able to begin contributing to the site.<p>Founder Justin Blase stated “there are a lot of question & answer websites out there that include insurance content, but the problem with those is that any random 12 year old with an Internet connection is able to answer those questions. Our agent validation process ensures that only licensed insurance professionals are answering consumer questions.”<p>The site also aims to ease the process of purchasing insurance for consumers. Blase added “a large percentage of consumers feel uneasy asking certain questions in a face-to-face setting when they are being sold a product like insurance. InsuranceLibrary.com allows consumers to ask these questions anonymously online, but then also provides easy opportunities for the consumer to directly connect with an agent once their questions have been answered. The system works very well - consumers can connect with an agent that has shown expertise in a certain topic, and agents can generate new business by answering the questions related to the topics within which they specialize.”<p>To browse the insurance knowledge base or ask an insurance question, visit www.InsuranceLibrary.com.
