This has a similar name but no. You are give 25 spaces with 24 spaces filled with tiles. The goal is to slide the tiles around using the empty space until they are in order from 1 to 24.
I really love the idea of sponsored courses/tutorials. This type of thing makes me more likely to use Git and GitHub more, and evangelize more.
I have a tough time wanting to pay for a course at a place like code school when I know if I go through the docs/tutorials I'll get it. It's not that I don't think the experience is better, or even (for a certain definition) worth the money. I feel like it is an unnecessary indulgence.
This is beginner-level content, which makes a lot of sense as a free resource. We're working on a Code School "Git Real" course for the end of July that will go much further than this and be at an intermediate level, just like most of the courses we offer through a subscription or individual purchase.
I suggest you check out the first level of that course when it comes out. I doubt you'll think it's an unnecessary indulgence. In the meantime our Node course is good example: http://node.codeschool.com
Isn't it true that strong vision that people have a true emotional response to and believe in can move 100k people (or even more)?
Maybe an expensive "true rebrand" is a way to make a promise to your people and help build trust in your new direction. Also making it so visible and present can help remind people of this direction when they make every day decisions.
The problem is not only the number, it's the overall inertia between what management wants and what workers are all levels can get to. Management may have a forward moving vision, but it takes time to communicate it, to ensure everyone understands what it means, etc... and there are always resistances, too.
Plus, in a 100k company, I don't think 100% of employees are blindly following what the CEO wants them to do.
I didn't completely understand on the first read what your app did. I read it as taking video of websites -- which is silly, but I thought I'd mention it.
Maybe "Pick your favorite sites" is unnecessary right up front? You mention later it integrates with my favorite sites and I see YouTube etc...
Same here - didn't get it at all at first. When I read "Pick your favorite sites. Take a video. Swipe to share.", I thought that it allowed you to share videos that you found on YouTube or other video sites, which didn't make any sense.
I get it now. Head a bit fried today so can't really think of a better strap-line right now though.
I heard Google Plus's Vic Gundotra say the same thing at SXSW. There is definitely a time and a place for ads, and while you're viewing intimate social content might not be that time.
However... recently I've been seeing facebook ads where they are simply reshowing old status updates from my friends where they have linked/liked products, and pages. I'm not sure that reminding me of things my friends have liked and linked to isn't a more meaningful advertising experience. It's certainly not sufficient to support Facebook, but it feels like a new, possibly more valuable, kind of ad.
