Erlang is also the death of a lot of fluff articles of late.
The thing with Paypal is that they aren't quite so flexible and they have high fees, 3 to 4% or more. My only complaint was that they are very pro-consumer, meaning they side with the credit card company when the purchaser of your goods complains, but this is normal. There are charge backs with credit cards too if you do your own processing and payment management.
Paypal is the only payment system I've used. I wish their system was easier to customize.
You may want to check out Amazon FPS, but I haven't used them.
I use paypal. It's quick to setup and has Paypal IPN which is essentially a call back to your system to let it know that the funds have been received or an order has been made. You can also set up free trial periods and things like that. It's quite easy to use.
The problem is that twenty somethings don't vote and silver hairs do.
I was watching footage from the town hall meetings around the country for the health care reform and noticed only one person without gray hair there and she was still old.
What does this have to do with twitter? It's really annoying to see these types of services say now you can do this for twitter, just capitalizing on the twitter brand.
Really, you can do this with Jing, which is more feature rich and also easier to use. http://www.jingproject.com
While Jing is cool, it requires an install, while screenr doesn't. Does that matter for most folks? I dunno.
It's Java, so it might work on Linux, I dunno. I haven't tried. I don't have the Java plugin installed, and don't consider it worth bothering with at the moment. But, if it did work on Linux, that'd be enough for me to use it occasionally. Big projects would still make me reboot into Windows to use Camtasia, but it would definitely take the place of Jing (since I wouldn't have to reboot).
Wow, thanks for the Jing link -- it's exactly what I was looking for. Screenr is really slick in terms of UX and simplicity, but without private (or hidden) sharing like Jing, I can't use it very much for day to day work stuff.
Agreed. A better pitch may be, "the easiest way to get screencasts on the web". This is like Skitch, but for screencasts.
For Twitter buzz, throw some stupid badge in there that says, "works with Twitter!"
Jing looks like some kind of Tonka Truck toy. Design matters, Screenr has that down. Now for revenue... not sure, I just know that Twitter wins big time w/ the way Screenr is setup.
Look we're all hackers here. We know SQL Injection isn't complicated for us, but it is complicated for the majority of the world. In fact, it's probably an impossible task for 95% of the world, and very very difficult for another 4% on top of that, and even the last 1% would have to experiment a bit to figure out which string to submit to get the information.
