Daniel - it’s a good suggestion and we actually just implemented that. The reason for not doing it initially was Google App Engine which we host our site on. It doesn’t allow you to use external blogging applications on your site so we had to build our own basic blogging platform before we could host our blog on our domain. App Engine is great, but a few little things like that are a pain.

Vince - thanks, glad you found the post interesting.

I must say that words like BING and TWITTER are really a joke and juvenile. Surely there are other words that could be used in place of these two words that would reflect someone intelligent is behind a choice of intellectual words instead of stupid one’s like BING and TWITTER. It is really embarressing for a well educated adult and even a not so well educated adult to stoop so low and use these terms.

Get a grip…

thanks for sharing the challenges. interesting to hear how you came up with the idea.

i agree that the intersection of entrepreneurs that are both web-savvy and comfortable with the logistics of shipping a physical product is low; something worth considering for a future start-up!
