The reason they're at the top of the app store is because they built a great product that millions of people love. Video is a core technology on mobile devices and until now it's been really hard to record and post a video to Facebook/Twitter.

it's never too late! :) we're thinking about remote employees - might be ready for it at some point soon.

Can you elaborate? Your app got rejected?

This is great :)

Great work Leah & Jori! Grove.io is awesome!

I'm glad Google have programmers that know metrics that can look at the results of this. Usability mess.

Congrats on the announcement Zack & Team!!!!

Yes.

It does points out how valuable and high quality their traffic is though

That's really impressive numbers! Great post.

This is awesome! You're killing it!

Yeah, I don't think everyone in US understand that people are way more conscious about the cost of each SMS message in other countries

Congrats guys! I'm heading to my second one @ Front Porch next week

I've used Spotify since fall of 2008. It's hands down the most amazing music service out there. Everyone that have I've showed it to pretty much fell in love with it.

Until today Spotify's mobile apps have only been available to premium subs. With this you can throw out iTunes and sync with your iPhone, Android etc. Sync over Wi-fi and playlist management is way simpler than iTunes.

If you're into Node.js and Redis we (Voxer, interviewed in the article) are actually hiring engineers. We're building a Walkie Talkie for iPhone and Android.

In more technical terms Voxer is a low latency messaging system for voice, images, and text. We have an iOS client in the App Store, and an Android version is in the works. We've had explosive growth in the last couple of weeks and are now in top 25 in a bunch of app stores and we are looking for someone to help us develop the server side components and make the system scale.

Email me gustaf@voxer.com if you want to know more and I'll connect you with the right person.

Our servers are built out of Node.js, CouchDB, and Redis. If you are excited about node, server-side JavaScript, and new databases, this is an opportunity to work on this technology full-time.

yes, send me an email gustaf@voxer.com

People are already doing that on Airbnb, at least in New York. We'll have to see if the new law will have any impact the basis of it is a huge mess.

Congrats on the launch Gagan! Great piece!

Holy shit. This is such a good idea.

Really good implementation as well! I hope you guys are adding the Amazon affiliate link to the amazon links! :)

BBM = Mobile - Mobile Messaging

GTalk/MSN etc = Mobile - Desktop Messaging

The use cases are completely different.

Is this all native? Parts of it feels like javascript.

If they are it would probably be a android-fork?

I thinks this is probably good. TPB always claimed that there is not principal difference between thepiratebay.org and google.com in terms of linking to filesharing content.

been playing with the new features for the last 20 minutes. it's amazing. most importantly, you can stop using itunes except for podcasts

Great. Looking forward to playing with this!

That's great news!

I have a lot of respect for Jason and takes his opinion more serious than mine.

In this case I think he is misunderstanding the Internet a little bit. The value is not created in the center (content, sites) but by the nodes. We, the users create the value of the internet and to some extent the value of what you search, at least that part is growing.

If you look at the top 20 sites on alexa globally you wont find a single pure news-site. You'll find a combination of social sites, collaborative sites, self-publishing and communication sites. This, this is the value of the internet - it's not "content".

Admob has a lock-in on the iPhone ecosystem that's hard to break.

title feels a little misleading.

the best way to not have your cost scale is probably to do what spotify is doing - make every user into a peer in a bit-torrent network and have them share the vast majority of the bandwidth consumption
