sooperman··on The Billion Dollar Indian Dilemma
Fair points smoyer. The post doesn't emphasize on exists, or the lack of it. In India, the approach to determining valuations is very conservative. This deeply hurts b2c startups.

Yes Paul, you are right. Lack of exits definitely hurts.
sooperman··on Show HN: Catching hold of users "likely" to bounce off a website
You are right about the obtrusion part hobs. But then the whole idea behind this was to add more "targeting" layers make the end solution more relevant to the user trying to exit - so, e.g, you can choose to ONLY implement this solution for your SEM traffic. Ain't that cool for marketers spending a whole lot of money to get users on their websites?

Drop us a feedback on our site please. Happy to discuss this further with you. We have some solid experience working with b2b businesses :-)

We don't like them either. Hence, we built what you saw. It is all about the context and that's what we are trying to do. It is about showing an offer at a time when you are most "likely" to make a purchase. It is about asking how your buying experience was once you just made a purchase. Relevance in collecting insights and running promotions is what we are trying to build.

:-) .. thanks!

We use the pdf2html program to generate screenshots on a headless webkit browser - post the DOM from frontend to our servers and do the magic.

Edit: Oops! Just saw that your comment "how did you do the cool screenshot feature" got deleted.

Wow! Some testimonial that is! Thanks.

We allow you to "target" those questionnaires in various ways; e.g. you can choose to display the survey only to people who have spent atleast 60 seconds on the page. Take a look - http://webengage.com/survey#targeting

Plus, you can always choose to use the feedback tab which is passive (only opens when the user clicks on it) and not proactive like surveys.

If all of the above didn't make any sense, we have a JS API to open the survey at the click of a link at the bottom of your page :-) - http://docs.webengage.com/api/js-api.html#survey-api

Surprisingly, there's very little uproar about it. Is it working for most of you as merchants?
sooperman··on Show HN: Bubbles - An option for people who don't want to write emails.
Aha! So, I can basically write "rich" emails. That's cool. Wouldn't it be nice to have some sort of a Bubbles-Gmail plugin using which I can do such a thing inside my Gmail itself, while composing emails? Overall neat.
