I'm the OP. If you haven't heard of Facebook Offers, they're like coupons businesses can post on their Facebook page. But, if you're not already a Fan, they can be difficult to discover - so we made Foibly. Appreciate any feedback!
More info?
My first question, as a user, would be - "How much?" Maybe create a page for each game you support with examples of quests/costs/the level of "companions" available and their experience...
You should consider, if you haven't already, doing some SEO work (both onpage and off) to target related keywords. It's usually cheaper and more successful (in my experience) than just buying ads, plus the affects are more long term.
Keywords such as "world of warcraft" + "help, guide, tips, quest help" would be good targets. Start on keywords with lower monthly search #s to get started.
Gl, and please post an update in the future to let us know how it goes.
Love the idea. How will you market it?
I also didn't like having to give my email just to see what you're selling, but did it anyway. And then found out that you're "full up", but you'll get back to me when there's room. I'm annoyed that that I'll now get email from you and so far you've provided me nothing.
I hate when that happens. However, with proper SEO, your site could still get a lot of visits. A quick search of Google Keywords shows that tens-of-thousands of people are searching for "court date" related items.
Why wouldn't they use ohdontforget to get a free reminder?
Large images ( > 1 MB or so ) put into a Canvas in Chrome cause Chrome to crash with the frowny face Uh oh. At least it did as of a few months ago, not sure if it's been fixed yet.
Are there other companies that do this sort of thing?
So what's the best alternative for a Java shop?
Too bad. It was very helpful for editing pics in Flickr.
I was a bit frustrated :(
Thanks, I'll take a look at that. The same thing was happening on Chrome in Windows for awhile, but I thought I had fixed it :(
I'm wary of signing up for a service that has no cost details.
Don't make me signup to post anonymous feedback.
Also, the POST A RESPONSE button should be a button that I can click anywhere in, not a giant button with a little text link.
Neat, definitely useful. I'm wondering if it would be possible for someone (or you guys) to build something similar that would let me "take over" a user's session, so I can demonstrate my application to a potential new user.
Agree on the select button. Drag and drop is neat, but is usually annoying when my browser is full screen.
I tried to drop an image file. While it correctly fired the dragover event(changed the text to "Drop it like it's hot"), it didn't prevent the default drop event correctly - instead firefox 3.6 just showed me the image.
Pretty sure people have been predicting that ever since they heard this was coming.
Thanks!
I'm not really interested in voting which of my friends is sexier. Maybe this is a french thing?
You could make it more like cubeduel, and just ask, who is the better friend, or something along those lines.
Also, I was turned off by the fact that the app wanted to post to my wall. I'd need a good reason to give it that kind of access.
Awesome idea, slick & complete implementation. I look forward to pricing details!
The name made me think of cattle.
The "advantage" FB has is that comments on a 3rd party site get posted to your FB page, and replies to those comments on FB go back to the 3rd party page. I'm not sure that's really that big of an advantage - some may consider it a disadvantage..
Curious: How'd you come up with the name? Also: How do you plan to make money?
How well does it do with non-javascript code? If I could code ruby on rails on it, and deploy from w/in it to Heroku, I'd sign up today. (happy feature creep!)
