Supposedly the US will ban WeChat on Sunday. How would that be implemented? An order to Apple and Google to remove from the app stores? What about existing downloads?

I never thought of making parts for the quadcopter with the printer. That's amazing.

After reading on HN about the miners in England yesterday, it's difficult to generate too much sympathy for your situation.

I hope that you translate your passion into using technology to truly help make the world a better place.

Providing services to the next billion internet users sounds like a big opportunity. I wonder if the solutions will be similar to what worked in the developing world or entirely new.

How many of you made it through this article without getting interrupted? I only made it about 1/3 the way before I received 3 different text messages.

One solution is lots of money so that you can buy your way into both marketplaces quickly.

A better solution as jchung pointed out is to narrow your scope until you have enough resources to create a great market. For example:

USA -> California -> Bay Area -> Stanford -> One Dorm

Do you think they would use cookies to track usage? If so, I'm predicting that many more people will learn how to clear their NYT cookies.

Great interview. It's amazing that they built all of this during the past couple of months. Awesome work guys!

Thanks everyone for your comments. I really appreciate the feedback.

Hi,

I would be interested in advising you and helping you as much as I can. I was recently the Vice President of Product Management for MocoSpace, which is the largest mobile focused social network in the US.

I'm now launching a mobile interactive agency called Liquid Wireless. Shoot me an email at cianchette at gmail if you want to connect.

I've used A/B and multivariate testing at multiple companies. It can be incredibly helpful in optimizing a product.

I would suggest however to focus on building a solid base product first and then optimizing it.

For web the google web optimizer works ok and its free. There is a Boston startup called Sitespect who I've used in the past as well, which has a more robust platform. I can introduce you to them if you want.

I work with Jangl who was just acquired by LiveUniverse. I don't know much about them, but I would be interested in chatting.
