Cblinks··on Tell HN: Hello
Hey Mohamed!

I doing a coding challenge where I'm building 6 apps in 60 days. Take it one day at a time. The smartest person in the a game isn't always the person who ends up winning. The person who doesn't give up usually wins. You should check out codeschool.com. They have great courses.

Cblinks··on Crowdfunding site for Tech Startups
We intend to use the same model as Kickstarter and specifically focus on tech startups. Kickstarter tends to focus more on Arts/Craft projects (including movies) and doesn't cater to tech startups unless they are creating a software/hardware hybrid like the Peeble smartwatch. Fundable uses a equity crowdfunding model which makes us different from them. Thanks for your question Cmrberry
Cblinks··on Ask HN: What are you working on and why is it cool?
It's a cool tool! I used it a few weeks ago to create some slick picture widgets.

Cblinks··on The Art of Not Writing Code
I've taken it upon myself to learn coding and at times, I find myself completely hating it. I too view it as a "means to an end", allowing me to produce MVP without needing to consult with "professional" programmers paying them to create a beta product in which I will and can create. My goal as an entrepreneur is to be a triple threat: Marketing, Bus. Dev. & Product Development. I believe whether your in the tech, bio-medical or renewable energy spaces; you are supposed to be able to create a MVP even if it is crap; especially if you call yourself an entrepreneur.
Cblinks··on Ask HN:Help Needed With Google Event Tracking
Thanks! This was a valid question. I included my site to give people reading this post a better context of the actual event I was looking to track. I've actually looked at this site but it didn't help much. My biggest problem is how exactly do you nest the Google event tracking code and where exactly to place it.

I'll spend some more time on it, but thanks for you help.

Cblinks··on A Bayesian Approach to A/B Testing
How many tech companies use the Bayesian Approach rather than the traditional (confidence-testing) Approach?
Cblinks··on Blogging Fogbeam: Episode 1: A Customer Development Journey
You should turn your chronicles into a book. You should call it Fogbeam Labs: "How we were able to avoid the fog". Great post!
Cblinks··on How To Hack Conferences and Meetups
Great Post! It's funny you mentioned the Startup Weekend because I just came from one in Durham, NC and instead of paying to be apart of the conference; I decided to volunteer. Based on my experience, I feel that volunteering at those types of events is the best way to meet people because your not burdened with staying in one place and working on one idea.
Cblinks··on My Greatest Pitch
Thanks! I hope so...
Cblinks··on The Durham Stampeders
Thanks--I'll look into that.
Cblinks··on Too Much Entrepreneurship Is a Bad Thing
I agree with everything this blogger saids. It's funny because went attended a conference at UNC about facilitating entrepreneurial growth and I just remember thinking to myself that-"They are creating a new bubble".

Also, another thing to think about is that employers are also using the entrepreneurial framework or wordplay to inspire their employees to create new profitable departments. We are defiantly in the middle of a bubble either way.

Cblinks··on So You Call Yourself A Salesmen?
Thanks! Agreed-The follow-ups are just as if not more important than the initial call.
Cblinks··on So You Call Yourself A Salesmen?
When I wrote this it was for people who are running start-ups or launching a new company with no prior or little sales experience.

I don't believe in lying to people or providing mis-information. As sales person, my goal is always to place all of my cards on the table and let my customer chose what they want.
