    HOT! 
    So long as it's a similar eye-creature, I don't think it would confuse people who have already bought the app. Having an icon that makes people want to click might be the single most important part of your marketing. You really don't want to neglect this part imo. Getting some Youtube...

    The confusion of value for the majority of entrepreneurs

    The problem is defining acceptable "use" of a domain that would accomplish what you want. It would be fairly trivial to automate minimal development. Using something like wordpress/tumblr, you wouldn't even need to pay for hosting.

    Facebook Big Brother Is Watching You

    HOT! MARKETING 
    If you're worried about tracking, consider this: -Any site you visit has your IP and knows what you were viewing -so does any content/service provider on that site (ads, analytics, social, etc.) -some of those providers have MASSIVE reach (everyone rightfully worries about google/fb, but are...

    game industry

    HOT! 
    I think your icon could use some work. Also, no reviews? You should poke some friends/acquaintances into giving some glowing reviews of the game. It's also worth keeping in mind that people aren't just going to randomly stumble across your game and buy it. You're going to have to drive people...

    What Would You Tell The 25-Year Old You?

    MINDSET 
    The age gap is a little wrong for me I think. I need 45-year-old-me to tell 35-year-old-me some things :) I would tell 15-year-old me: "Only use college as a hobby while you teach yourself to do (and sell) things that are actually useful." There are probably some other, more profound, lessons...

    Sleep just 2 hours a day...Uberman Sleep Cycle

    MINDSET 
    I gave this a stab in college, but I was never able to stick to the very regimented schedule for more than a couple of weeks. Pavlina did a lot of posting about this (some linked in the other thread). Whenever I see a post about this, the response is almost universally negative, no matter...

    Getting Your PhD After You've Won the Money Game

    FTE 
    Really, if you're just doing it for the title, most people would never really get started, let alone finish. However, that doesn't mean there aren't decent reasons to do so. It's not like the time invested is wasted if you're learning about something that's meaningful and useful to you (and...

    Fitness Gamification - Looking for ideas and thoughts

    IDEA 
    Gamification can be really powerful, but it is very often used badly. Sadly, that sort of poisons the well to some degree for people making an effort to do it well, which makes it extra important that the features you add are actually valued and useful. Imo, don't start with the features...

    Improving already advanced English skills

    OFF-TOPIC 
    From your posts, you seem fluent enough that I doubt that formal materials will really help you progress unless you're working on a specific problem. I would guess that you just need to constantly be putting yourself into situations that make you use your skills in a non-superficial manner...

    Better mental performance. Adderal? Brain Stacking? Natural Supplements?

    No, I'm arguing that if people are ok with coffee, they shouldn't be righteously indignant about other substances.

    Better mental performance. Adderal? Brain Stacking? Natural Supplements?

    Maybe the donald treats his body like a temple, but how many business people forsake caffeine? Just because it's ubiquitous and comes in delicious, liquid form doesn't mean that it isn't a drug.

    Are spammers actually helping me?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I have forums that have never been open for posting which have 100k+ users just from the bots. I never bothered to filter them since I wasn't actively using the site. Having a few users can certainly help with the social proof, but in the case I mentioned, it's damned obvious that the forum is...

    Why mornings are so important to productivity

    Maybe not, but he made a good post and offered the book for free. There's certainly value in that even if he benefits as well.

    Entrepreneurs Do Better With College: Study

    I hate articles that just give linkbaits headline with no real info to back it up. Admittedly, to really know what a study is saying, you need to read the actual study (which they never F*cking link to), but most articles don't even try. Ok, of the 500 tech startups that they looked at, the...

    Anyone tried Shipito?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Ok, here's an update in case it helps anyone else. I've had a pretty great experience with these guys. I ordered a bunch of stuff on Amazon, which came in 8 separate packages, and had it shipped to the Shipito address. You get an interface that lists each package that comes in with a photo of...

    I think I'll stick to Vigiantie and MJ's advice, but thanks anyway. (Unless that's what you meant? Maybe I'm having a bad communication day.)

    O.o Why on earth is so much of this thread about rudeness!? I really hope this thread is full of trolls, because the alternative makes me sad.
