Show HN: Check Out My Landing Page
If you have a moment, please let me know what you think of my a) landing page design and b) overall value proposition.

I'm looking to see if this idea validates before I invest more money into it. Any growth hackers have suggestions for advertising it? I'm going to pay a little bit for AdWords, not totally sure what keywords I'm going to go for ("Girlfriend Gift Ideas" maybe?). This is my first startup idea and all of my past startup job experience is with B2B. I’m not totally sure how to get in contact with boyfriends/husbands to get them to my page.

Honestly, I wrote is as a disguised compliment. Doing tests quickly makes statistical validation available and that is solidly better than winging it because you can't be bothered to do the math.

I did a bit of brainstorming previously about penalties and negative feedback controls for hypothesis testing in a medical context. The metaphor I liked was that you are buying hypothesis tests with data and therefore there is a penalty risk for each attempted test. I never worked out the math very thoroughly, but I'd love to see how a system like that would work live.

I think it'd be an amazing boon to your system to have these kinds of feedback. You'd not only be easy and available but also trusty since you make sure you never promise too much.

Very cool project.

What would a social jobs board be like?
Thinking of building the next generation jobs board because the ones of today really suck.

Just depends on whether or not the results are meant to public consumption. I find it hard that no one at Visa would want an honest study from time to time, but I can also easily believe that sometimes studies are commissioned with the end-goal being to justify an already set-in-store decision.

A different possible motivation for this just occurred to me: Maybe Amazon is getting tired of paying out affiliate fees, and is envisioning this as an in-house advertising channel?

I was not aware of Fluent but it looks fairly similar to about 100 or so other email sites, with a full list here http://blog.bartjellema.com/2012/02/22/email-startups/

Why are there so many of these sites? Is there a low barrier to entry or something? 90% seem to do similar things, so maybe someone should make one that allows people to write plugins for their platform and allow people to extend things that way?

Great questions to ask yourself, and your financial models.
Has anyone else used Fluent.io?

I did, and found it wasn't quite for me. The interface left too much detail out, and I preferred GMail + Rapportive to do my emails.

Was there a mobile app that was better? I only used the web app.
there is no magic in this world (even if stripe's marketing team wants you to believe that there is)
This request happens for every startup that closes. I don't think it's realistic most of the time, because projects like this are heavily tied to specific infrastructure and the optimum level of technical debt for a startup is much higher than the optimum level for an open source project whose survivorship depends on the community picking it up and taking it over (because it's unlikely the founders will spend much time working with it). Furthermore, the team would need to devote time to auditing the security aspects (e.g. looking for sensitive data that might have been in the code base, by accident at best, sheer ignorance at worst) before releasing it, which takes further time.

So I think it's more important to ask for user data to be handed over cleanly and securely, and for certain data to be made public if it's of general interest (though again, that requires diligent security auditing).

Anyway, it would be good to have some evidence that this common call for open source has actually paid off in the past. Closest I can think of is Firefox, but the circumstances were very unique - for one thing, it rose from the ashes of a project had at one point been wildly successful.
That's interesting, because it's the opposite in Australia. I would have to pay a fee to get a chequebook (I'm not sure if it's per-annum or per book, probably depends on banks) but on my accounts I have unlimited free transfers to any bank in Australia. Pretty much all personal accounts here get that - some business accounts still have to pay a few cents per transfer, but free online transfers are becoming a lot more common for those.

I also have a free EFTPOS (Maestro/Cirrus) and Visa Debit card, and can pay bills at no extra cost using the BPAY system from my online banking, so I never write cheques at all...
The fees for the person carrying the cards aren't bad but the processing companies, at least here in the US, probably in the EU too since they're all basically the same companies, charge quite a hefty fee on the business end.
I think Amazon's general strategy is to never surprise its customers. That's good for retail and low-end tech. Probably it's also good for cheap games. Where I think they'll have trouble is in more cutting edge type stuff but I don't see them entering into something like that any time soon.

That's actually what I expected this article to be about!
Wouldn't they just be able to look at their own records to see any trends (or lack thereof)? Presumably Visa is investing multi-millions of dollars of into this, surely they expect to see a return on that investment. If the fail to see that return, surely they would stop. They haven't stopped. I'm thinking that the research firm was probably right.
There is a reason behind this. Tesco deems it worthwhile to take a (smaller) hit to keep your business, whereas your local pub believes you aren't going to switch pubs, and just wants to encourage you to use cash so that they keep as much of the price of your drinks as possible (i say this because £1 in 10 is a 'penalty' more than covering costs.. which should be closer to 30p).

IE, your choice of supermarket is more elastic than your choice of pub.

Bitcoin seems to be the closest thing we have to disrupting this, but the chicken and egg problem isn't going anywhere.
Ever tried sending an attachment to someone over 4-5mb? One of the most broken aspects of email right there and something that won't be changing any time soon. Sure you can use a service like Mediafire or Rapidshare, but it's just another step that shouldn't exist in this day and age.
Saying "they've been doing it for years" implies that it probably works. That is the answer (well okay, it's his answer)
> in Canada we don't have Visa Debit cards

Visa seems to be pushing these into the Canadian market. In Toronto, they have ads for Visa debit cards running the length of buses / subway cars. Looks like it's only being offered through major banks though. (Though I guess that doesn't apply retroactively to the Vancouver Olympics... ;-)
Judging from the post, I would assume they tried and failed.
as a musician, I disagree. The iPad makes for a great adaptable electronic instrument. The major feature of tablets is that they become the app you're running. This lets the designers of the various synths for the iPad experiment with interfaces like was never before possible. Check out some of the stuff that Jordan Rudess's Wizdom Music is putting out: http://www.wizdommusic.com/

Jordan Rudess isn't just anybody, he's one of the top keyboard players alive today. He's always experimented with alternative instrument interfaces and I think the fact that he's doing this on the iPad lends a lot to its credibility as a creative platform.

Getting the word out is only a fraction of what marketing actually is. Marketing involves:

- defining who your customer is (demographics, income, etc.)

- gathering feedback from the customer through surveys

- using that information to iterate on products/launch new products that solve your customers pain points (if half your customers are left handed this will tell you that you need to design your product for left handed people as well)

- packaging and designing how your product will look on the shelves

- defining price points based on the data you gathered from your surveys

Not to be a jerk but it sounds like the author of this post hasn't even taken a Marketing 101 course if he's defining marketing as writing blog posts...
>or that research firm doesn't get hired again.

This is the key part. Research funded by biased parties can produce valid research and results. There is the case of the physicist that was skeptical of global warming that was funded by the Koch brothers to study global warming. As a scientist, at a well known college for physics, he was skeptical but not blinded by money/politics. His research changed is mind completely.

But, like you said, he won't be hired again by two brothers that are wealthily through oil.

Apple, YouTube end relationship
What I would say is that Amazon's security is in keeping with the recourse their customers have in regards to the transactions Amazon conducts - i.e. credit cards have fraud protection and disputed charges can be challenged and the money refunded when fraudulent charges are made. Amazon has balanced costs, risks and benefits for their stockholders.

The wiping of the author's devices was purely due to the level of Apple's security - a level which Apple established based upon the interests of their stockholders. To hold Amazon to a standard which protects Apple's customers (as the article implies) just doesn't hold water - Apple implemented remote wipe, Amazon didn't.

Am I the only one who would have liked a bit more detail behind the reason for Fluent shutting down after just six months?

I watched and waited with anticipation for the launch, and was excited when I got my invite and could start using the service.

It's a great product, with excellent UX and design, and while it still felt technically like a work in progress, I was ready to stick it out as a user and see where everything went.

Now, less than two months after getting my "golden ticket," it's all going away with a vague statement: "We feel that we couldn’t keep running the service as it is, and now’s the time to move on."

Was there not enough runway to survive beyond six months? Did something else happen that they don't feel like discussing? If you're going to make announcements like "The future of email, brought to you by ex-Google people," it seems like you should at least know that you've got the funding to keep the lights on for more than a couple months.

It might seem like I'm being harsh on Fluent, considering that I'm just a user who didn't pay anything and shouldn't have any expectations. I'm not thinking about this as a user, though. I'm thinking about this as a would-be startup entrepreneur. One of the biggest barriers to getting traction early on is convincing users that you're going to stick around, that they can invest their time getting used to your product, even trust their data with you. After all, you're just some startup, maybe they should wait a year and see if you're still there. Meanwhile, you're stuck in a Catch 22, because you need those early adopters in order to still be there in a year.

When a startup makes big claims, then closes their doors mere months later, it puts another brick in the wall that makes it harder for other startups to make the case that it's worth getting on board for early adopters.

I'm sad to see Fluent go. It was a good idea, and seemed to be well executed. I just wish they'd be a bit more transparent about what happened, and why they weren't able to see this coming.

Am I the only one waiting for a 3D printer which parts can be created with a 3D printer?
Well, that is probably core to marketing. It is not just an isolated instance but only if all parts are up to par it can make its optimum effect. A shitty product and a shitty customer support will (almost) always sabotage a brand to such a degree that even the most wonderful ads won't help. Even if it succeeds in the short term, somebody else who is taking a more holistic approach should be able to gain significantly on marketshare.
"License has expired .. youtube app will not come pre-installed .. ". Does this mean we will have no youtube (iOS has no flash support, remember) or that we need to explicitly download an app?
Great article.

I'd like to see a few other details that aren't mentioned:

- What's the following distribution end up looking like? Does it have a similar fraction of 'celebrity' users with huge follower counts? Or more technically, does the russian roulette against the recommendation sampling end up producing a network similar to a scale free graph grown via preferential attachment (Barabási–Albert model)? It looks like your mean fanout is about 20, which is smaller than what twitter has published, but I'd be more interested in knowing how many 10k+ follower users are in the graph.

- What's the write amplification like? ~1.6 Billion per tweet per follower edges stored daily seems like it could burn a lot of capacity quickly, though most of it will grow cold quickly and could be pushed to archive. Making a rough guess from your disk write monitoring line graph, it looks like you'd be putting down about 16GB a day? It'd be interesting to see a comparison between this run and one done where streams are built indirectly via follower links alone.

Email itself is just a standard protocol; anyone can implement it. So, yes, there is a very low barrier to entry. Also, there are various problems around current email usage patterns that people want to solve: dealing with enormous inboxes, dealing with long conversation threads, managing contacts, integration with business workflows, etc.

Nor we're they in this case -- they were exploiting server side features of Amazon ( working as intended ) and Apple's tech support policies ( working as intended ). If anything this is a policy failure.

Not having any customer support worth a damn is a different kind of policy failure. (For example.)
