Without sharing the idea, I can give you specifics of something very similar. Say, wikipedia is the big company I am talking about and they have a contract which states how to use their content. Now, if I figure out a way to use their content the way it is and commercialize it without breaking any contractual terms, what should I do to make sure that whatever efforts I have put in before they change the contract remains mine.
I am going against a BIG company, how do I chose a lawyer for that? Moreover, the idea is highly replicable, but I am 100% sure that no one has figured it out yet. I am not doing anything illegal but I am very sure that the company will change it contractual terms or just might suspend my contract.
most of what I have seen of venturebeat.com and slashdot.org and techmeme.com is the same story repeated everywhere. None of these are much of a blog sites anymore. They are news sites with some blogging.
I understand, but none of the mobile analytics solutions provide the freedom we need in our products. We have hired developers who specialize in business intelligence and data mining to build us the analytics code.
We have incorporated Pinchmedia analytics and have also tried medialytics in our iPhone apps. Pinchmedia is much better. But now we are incorporating our own analytics as we are looking for individual user behavior more than average.
I think simplicity is the key here. It is going to be useful to masses and not constrained to just big companies. I personally used it as soon as I saw it and will be using it again and again.
I have tried removing it, but it comes back again. The best way to deal with hackers, that most people are suggesting is to move on to linux based servers rather than windows based. So we are probably going to try that.
Thanks for the input. My website accepts user input (registration, feedback, forums, payment for buying products etc.) and serves dynamic content. I am not a developer myself but have hired someone for development. It seems I will need to hire/subscribe to a service which can provide me with the necessary expertise.
I agree with imp regarding the site design and layout. I am a graduate student and have been looking for a software/service similar to papers for mac (http://mekentosj.com/papers/) for windows. This looks like a useful service, not entirely what I want but a decent start. I will definitely try the free version and will post my opinion.
