It does have contact sales, but only after a 43k per year tier!

In my mind, an encyclopedia is a reference book at the library. I don’t need one and I’ve never paid for one. They’re huge and come in volumes, they’re out of date, slow to use, etc. That doesn't describe your app or the value it provides, right?

Rethink, or try removing, the word "Encyclopedia" in the app's title

If someone hasn't read your message in a month that means a different thing than no response for a month. Some would assume you said the wrong thing, etc. Also remember Facebook is software- which can fail. Maybe this is also a way to help reduce message delivery failure- with email you might get a message bounce back if the send failed. If a Facebook message failed to deliver due to bugs, hardware failure, etc how would a user know? If they don't know they probably won't complain to the FB message API developer/manager who has a "can't reproduce", "intermittent", "sometimes occurs" bug.

"didn't want to change and have to learn something new"

Resistance to change might be an authority thing - you could just walk around this troll's bridge and see what happens. Try talking to his boss or higher about source control, casually. If his manager asked him to change to GIT he would do it. He might have dismissed you because he believes you're not in a position of power over him or the work required to switch is mundane.

Could A startup use this ad serving mechanism to also calculate and sell/publish the speed, uptime, etc of each hotel wifi network? Many won't care, but personally, I would like to see those figures next to advertised hotel wifi.

Lawyers didn't stamp "Nerds" in 143px font on the front page. Their lawyers are no better than the rookie management/marketing team who made that call.

Supplier 1: RS Components redirected to a product interest page - no purchase option

Supplier 2: Premier Farnell redirected to a international region picking page with no US link - no purchase option

Traffic wasn't the real problem. People are familiar with lines and queues- I wait in a slow long line every time I go to the grocery store.

Seems like they simply did not test their launch with either distributer internationally. Combine that with months of hype and last minute server/traffic arrogance for an angry social mob.

Users stay on a website for more than 800ms.

Wouldn't it be more cost effective (rather than convert/port a whole site to a new js lib) to rewrite your page init JavaScript so it does not require a js lib at all (0ms)? Jquery would be async loaded by the time the user executes actions/buttons; if it had not loaded yet you wait, or show a loading icon, etc.

This porting/optimization adds no value to your users 6 months from now who are running a quad core nexus-razr-droid's browser that loads jquery in 300ms.

Kevin Rose should have read Steve Jobs' biography by now. You're supposed to romanticize the product with the user!

Instead this is how oink acts when you first meet-

1. Prompt user for location access 2. Prompt user for push notification access 3. Prompt user with 'builder' description 4. Prompt user with social account username/password requests 5. Prompt user with Join button (permanently affix to bottom left of screen) 6. Prompt user with arbitrarily ranked pizza on out of the box uitableviews

Maybe the pig app could ease into these prompts and start out with a few on-topic questions and flashy UIs. Perhaps a list of telling foods to rank with my fingers followed by a list of spices to sort? Maybe touch/label the part of the food I liked most? It could then add a random oink developer as my friend automatically. After I browse around for a bit it might ask if I want to see random famous person x's most/least favorite food in city y, or switch to my current location (enter prompt 1) because...

You are assuming that people who use a net or pesticide solution for their insect problem are satisfied with that solution. (They're not)
