What mobile app developers can learn from Oprah.
This post assumes you know Operah so lets start by defining Cross-promotion. According to Wikipedia, ”cross-promotion is a form of marketing promotion where customers of one product or service are targeted with promotion of a related product. Cross-promotion may involve two or more companies work together in promoting a service or product, in a way that benefits both.”<p>A typical example is cross-media marketing of a brand, for example Oprah Winfrey's promotion on her television show of her books, magazines, and website.

The Mutual Benefits of Cross Promoting
Cross promotion benefits both companies promoting a product.
In the case of Oprah, if she promotes a book (or app) she is giving her audience a product recommendation that adds value to them because without her recommendation many might not have heard of the product. The Oprah approval is important for her audience, and the probability of a purchase is high.<p>The book owner benefits from the promotion by increasing its sales, Oprah benefits by giving her audience a book that they might not discovered otherwise. Oprah now has connected to her audience with a book, she has become a source of what to read. So its beneficial for Oprah to recommend books. The above recommendation is thus beneficial to Oprah, the book writer, and Oprah’s audience.

Promote outside your Apps
As for apps, cross promotion works not only for apps in the same category but many different categories. Imagine if Oprah would promote your app. She can promote it in TV episode that targets a female audience but if she is promoting your app you will benefit from the promotion. Someone in her audience could recommend your app to a friend, and that friend to another, etc. The important thing is to start getting exposure, and cross promotion is a great tool to start getting initial exposure of your product.The Oprah example is also an example that cross promotion works outside the same category but also outside her own brand. If Oprah were only to promote her own books, her audience would know that is promotion. Oprah’s reading list includes other authors and thus her audience is more trustworthy of her recommendations. Our advice to developers from the initial data we’ve gather from our private beta is don’t be afraid to cross promote outside your brand, category, or even industry, cross promotion works.

Kinetik is a cross promotion network for mobile applications. We are the only network that enables developers to choose whom to promote with. Users can register by invitation only. You can sign up at www.thekinetik.com to get an invite when we are ready.

happy coding,

> How familiar are you with how the Internet works?

Familiar enough with it to have written a TCP/IP stack. You?

> Google and other major websites are massively multihomed: they peer with tens or hundreds or perhaps thousands of other ISPs and backbones in as many different peering points around the world.

Yes, that was the point, the hosts are still up but you can't reach them. Kill port 53 and the net might as well be dead for 99.9% of all hosts. Most links in google point to other websites, not to google.

> 8.8.8.8 is an easy enough number to memorize. So is 8.8.4.4.

Yep, those would be first to go. Technically those are under the control of the US military anyway, they're on US soil and within 100 miles of an army base. Or did you think there would be a stand-off between a bunch of nerds and a bunch of military long enough to make a difference?

Take out a few key peering locations and the net is dark.

In North America I would say Mae-East, Mae-West and Front 151 in Toronto and that would be 70% of the work done, you can mop up after that.

> How long do you think it would DNS admins there or anywhere else to fix their servers not to flush their caches?

Ironically restarting bind with a new config clears the cache. I'm sure you could find a work-around for that but it might actually be an advantage to start thinking about this ahead of time and making sure that you can survive in 'island' mode without access to DNS.

Those DHS seizures targeted the domans for a good reason, people do not access the net through IP addresses conceptually, they use the DNS, the rest of the magic gets hidden under the hood. The HN crowd may be at an advantage in such a situation (it's just another challenge) but I think for the majority of the folks out there it would be curtains.

> Certainly less time than it would take the US government to shut down thousands of redundant peering points.

I think you're vastly underestimating the capabilities of the US army. There are active reserves in/around every major city, it wouldn't take more than a few hours. Extremely well organized guys with guns are a pretty effective means of shutting down technology.

How many sys admins do you know that will take a bullet to keep their router up after being commanded to shut it down?

That doesn't mean that I didn't wish you were right, but we can safely assume that if a government that (still) had control of its military decided that its citizens should not longer have internet access that they will not within a few hours of that decision being made.
We're confident we can make a business out of this. There are plenty of routes we can go down, at the moment we're working on exploring the problem space and figuring out which are the most viable.

World's first hack-free software 'developed'

Putting quotes around 'developed' seems to bring-into-question the whole statement.

While the Kinect is very cool technology indeed, it seems a bit deceiving to me when they trumpet a peripheral as the fastest selling electronics device. Were it not for the install base of Xbox 360s, it would not likely have such an rapid adoption rate.

Again, it is phenomenal technology, I do not mean to demean it on a technical level, and it is still a great achievement, but it seems a bit sensationalist to me when they laud a peripheral like it is a standalone device when in this case, the high sales volume can be largely attributed to the existing consumer device on which it piggybacks to inflate sales. Just my thoughts though.
As another voice on the subject - I like the concept but struggle with the execution.

Net result, I actually run a basic low-power PC alongside my TV, 99% used just to provide 'connected TV' services. Works very nicely and avoids compatibility issues because it's absolutely just another PC so the standard services such as the BBC iPlayer, YouTube and Justin.TV all work fine.

I don't agree. It's not the whole population that will make the true revolution. They'll help, but are not the main stream of the revolution.

Read my comment here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2151468

Western Media has made false rumors that this is the Facebook revolution of young people. Yeah, Facebook played a major role, but wasn't the key.

There is torture in these countries. To break police torture, you MUST torture them. To torture them, you must have free people. People that don't have jobs, families, are not related to a school or university, have absolutely nothing that they can go to the streets and clash with the police.

There must be clashes with the police and blood. It's expensive to get your freedom. 30 Million protesters will not change Mubarak mind. He is a dictator. You need to get him out by force.

Will Egypt succeed? Too early to answer. The protests need to spread. I must mention that the protests in Tunisia spread to 100% of the country. Every meter square has protests of any kind. That thing drives police crazy and they give up.

Can Mubarak win? Absolutely. If the protests doesn't spread, a few thousands will be caught and tortured and the revolution will die. Fear will get back stronger to citizen. That's exactly what happened in Algeria.
>why dont we have wireless power then?

It's hugely inefficient to transmit power wirelessly.

About 8 years ago I conceived a plan to harvest power from electromagnetic waves permeating a particular space (my house I guess). It looks like free power (but of course isn't). If you can have a wireless radio then you can use that same power to trickle charge a battery, multiply by the various frequencies with powerful signals, etc., etc.. [I'm sure many others here have had a similar idea].

On a very short range this has come out as a gadget in the form of wireless charging pads (eg http://www.powermat.com/) and reports are out of using the trick above to charge lower power devices over long distances (http://www.technologyreview.com/communications/22764/?a=f).

Haven't seen anything of this sort in the shops yet though. I suspect it might not be legal in my jurisdiction.
What do you think will come out of all this?

I'd love to see the effect that these ads have on the users of Gmail, both from Google's statistical end and also from a customer sentiment angle.

Gmail has touted the clean and simple feel as one of their main features for so long that users may come to expect that of Gmail now. Understandably Google has the right to show these ads considering it's a free service but will their users see it the same way?

Could this open the field back up for new email competitors?

I'm not sure about the Arabic world. However, Tunisia may see a strategic and amazing change.

Today I went to the café and all people are talking about politics. They talk about the new government, the elections, the prime minister, the old dictator...

How can you stop these people, in 6 months. You absolutely can't. Then, we'll meet again in the election. It's another turning point. Because, we need someone reliable.

If you have read wiki-leaks, there were many opportunities for investment in Tunisia. Ben Ali mafia were asking 50% stake, they were charging investors for nothing and implying that they take the constructions themselves. Lot of opportunities lost.

We have a strategic position, a young generation, a good educated portion. We can attract much more tourism and investment. Certainly that will need time, but I think becoming a developed country in the next 15 years is now possible!
I don't think this is true. My understanding is that steroids speed up your recovery phase - you can work out 7 days/week (and make commensurate gains) instead of simply 3 days + 4 recovery days.

Absolutely; it is something of a shame that Edison is often treated as that era's only example of a great inventor - he was a smart guy for certain, but had many flaws. Not least a ruthless business side that often crossed into the nasty and vindictive, and a single mindedness that meant he wouldn't accept his beliefs could be incorrect (hence sticking to promotion of DC for so long).

Tesla had numerous flaws as well; but he was much more a pure inventor and ultimately uninterested in money. Probably the smarter of the two, and certainly his work was fundamental to modern life (i.e. AC power transmission).

There is probably a lot to take away from learning about both men equally :)
On a personal note (and I'm not seeing them at this stage - just checked a few emails), the graphic ad per se won't bother me. I use Gmail personally, in basically the same headspace I use Facebook - I doubt Gmail ads will phase me if they become as graphical and ubiquitous as Facebook ads, and frankly they'll get just as many click-throughs from me (read: zero).

What does concern me is the point you raise about the fact that Gmail "touted the clean and simple feel as one of their main features". In a world of garishly fugly html emails, my inbox is rarely clean and simple, but Google changing their position on this does create a market opportunity. And not everyone will feel as non-impacted as I do.

I also agree with you that Google has the right to do this in their own free service - if they want to, they can go for it, and if that creates a competitor, I look forward to another webmail battle.
Thanks, works great. When memorize the keystrokes I hope it will be as fast as regular yanking.

I actually use tabs for multiple files and these keybindings for navigation:

nmap T :tabedit
nmap H :tabprevious<CR>

So I can go into a project dir and do vim -p .c* which opens the file in tabs and just navigate with Shift-H and Shift-L

Maybe it's the belief that it's a complex feature that hinders them? Implementing an undo feature isn't really complex for most things a user does.

Outside of anything real time, most things have the capability of having an undo element added to them to some degree. Even then, real time actions can still be undone (credit card transactions, for example).
I'm not trying to hit anyone over the head with a worldview, merely trying to dispel the notion that "friendly" governments in the middle east are somehow "good". Your assertion that Egypt is "committed to peace", and therefor good for the region, is mistaken. The government of Egypt is committed to peace inasmuch, and only inasmuch, as it is committed to self-preservation through currying Western (primarily US) favour. The same can be said for most of the other so-called "good" middle-eastern countries, with the possible exception of Turkey.

Your claim that I denied was that the middle east would be better with more Mubaraks. I claimed, I believe with good evidence, that the existence of Mubaraks in the middle east is precisely what prevents the region from being peaceful and prosperous.

To the extent that I editorialized is simply the extent to which I felt it necessary to explain why the Mubaraks of the world exist. If my worldview, namely that the US acts in its own interests without regard to the wellbeing of the people its policies affect is one you have a problem with, then by all means tell me why. If, on the other hand, you take offense to my claim that the United States knowingly and willfully installs, props up, prolongs, and supports brutal, tortuous, and murderous dictatorships around the world, then you have a great deal of reality to conquer if you wish to dispute it.
In some other realm Gödel is laughing.
>you must be impeccably dressed in an expensive suit and tie at all times

Why? What is it about this attire that makes you want to do that.

All I can see is that such dress is an attempt to feel superior over others and that your belonging to such a group would allow for the feeling of superiority without the effort of intellectual advancement?
no, read the article again, Tesla agrees electrical waves get damped when transmitted through the air, but he is talking about transmitting electrical current wirelessly without losing power!

Undoing a character delete is fairly trivial. The reason their is a prompt in most games is that their is no universally excepted way to undo something in games. It's become accepted to have a confirmation box.

As for consistency in a game, menus and the games UI rarely share the same structure. It's also generally except that you don't put up a confirmation box for the player to level up.

There is a technique that is used in some applications (Windows) that worked really well, at least with my mind.

That sounds like an excuse. The problem isn't with the undo. It's with the rest of the system, so clearly their are other problems to address first.
Is it short-sighted of me to think that a web presence the size of Amazon would have detection measures in place to notice a brute force attack, or are the so busy that one can hide in the noise?
>(Perhaps it is, but where's the evidence?)

The relics that were safe through social meltdowns and other problems are the evidence.

There are pretty safe assumptions that lead to that position too - museums will get destroyed just as other municipal buildings would in a period of societal collapse. Imagine you're uneducated, living in what was a museum and need to build a fire ...

If the artefacts are still safely ensconced in a not yet rediscovered cave then they're relatively safe.

We get a lot of our historic information from ceramic and stone artifacts - I wonder what durable items we might pass down through the millenia?

> I was hoping to read some UX insight into how to make those kinds of actions less obnoxious without losing their helpful functionality when it's needed.

An initial ideas I had, fairly trivial in the context of OpenOffice and Word asking to return to your previous state:

If a short period of time has elapsed since closing the application, simply resume state. Short period of time would have to be determine, of course. But it's fair to say that if I close an application and open it again within a minute, I probably want to resume the state. Additional conditions could be added based on testing: didn't save in the last close might be a good indicator.
It wasn't a nonce as such - it was a key exchange, slightly more like a salt in modern terms.

The way we think about ciphers has almost completely changed with the advent of cheap computation. Also, I read that book in High School and haven't thought much about Enigma in about 16 years, so it's entirely possible I got that a bit wrong.

However if you are already stuck with a language that has a very fixed word and sentence structure you don't help by signing all your messages with the same 40 character long formal greeting.

Tell that to the Egyptians.

The government there strategically left the one provider up that they themselves use and all others are down.

I'd imagine that if a relatively low-tech country like Egypt can pull off a sophisticated partitioning like that on a moments notice that most other countries would be able to do so as well but probably in a more precise manner.
