They're still available


Are they still available in the same shipping window? I read of some people no longer seeing "Ships in April", but May. I have not seen any confirmation of this from anywhere credible.


Still not too bad I guess. I wonder what their total sales dos the day were like.


sales *for the day?

I'm curious about that too. The first 4 hours / day seems like a more relevant metric. I was ready when the countdown hit 0, and it took 55 minutes before I could manage to pre-order one.


I hear you. I spent ten minutes trying to find the order page. I naively thought it would just show up when the countdown hit 0.


Given that I keep a very close group of friends, the default iOS Contacts app w/ iCloud works.

For those with large groups of people/information, go with Google Contacts.


If you can manage to get any offer above $XXX, sell it. The show's popularity could very well be at it's peak, given that maintaining or even increasing television ratings after the first season are rare. Otherwise, it could be a fun side project worth sentimental value.


Thanks. Good tips. Kinda my thoughts too. Just needed an extra push mentally from others.. like you. :)


In addition to setting up a site/blog, immediately setup an email list that you send out updates to. You can then potentially offer a 'Pro' version of this extension and you will already have thousands (if not 10s of thousands) of potential customers.


That's a great idea actually. However, I think I am not allowed to monetize from it because of youtube's terms of service. For now, I just want as many people as possible to use this little extension and give me feedbacks. I am just happy to serve other people's needs of listening to music :)


Agreed. Incorporating took me all of 15 minutes online. Focus on what is REALLY important - getting your first 3 paying clients.


You may have already seen it, but this thread was posted earlier today:

Thanks!!!


That's pretty strange. Did you contact Twitter?


Not yet. I am not even mad etc.


You should probably tell them, so at least they know how often this kind of thing happens.


As for #4, does the $10k number apply to only hardware specialists?


The current big news is that certain exchanges (ie. Mtgox) are beginning to suspend withdrawals of currency for various reasons. There are talks of Mtgox declaring bankruptcy (but don't take this as fact), so that scares people. Also, certain government(s) are beginning to ban cryptocurrencies to some effect. Like currently popular currency exchanges, negative viral news affects the prices dramatically.


This is really cool. It's great to see more programs for kids to learn to code and/or create interesting things.

Filming and asking the students what they think before and after the program might be a good way to get some great feedback and be useful for future promotion.
