Yes, I wasn't sure how to categorize these. This is V1 of the site and I will make adjustments based on feedback. There are no Non SaaS alternatives to those products, so I included them even though they are technically SaaS with a lifetime deal.

Meteor hits 1.0 12 years ago

Just started using Meteor + Telescope on my site TravelMo.re and love it so far. Really easy to use, kind of a pain in the butt to deploy.

It just surprises me that mainstream brands haven't embraced advertising on porn sites. There is no reason why there couldn't be a Hulu style high end porn site with real ads from like Budweiser, Old Spice, Mountain Dew, Red Bull, Comedy Central. There might be backlash for the first company to advertise but after that I can't imagine people would care.

Literally was just started using Divshot and Parse to solve the problem Stamplay is solving. Just tried it and very cool. Only suggestion is change the name. Extremely hard to remember (had to bookmark it so I didn't forget it) and easy to get confused with Stamply

If you really want to beat high airfare, stop buying tickets and figure out how to accrue frequent flyer miles at the lowest rate. BoardingArea.com is a good resource. Few years back, people figured out US Mint was selling gold $1 coins at cost + free shipping, so people (myself included) bought them on their mileage earning credit card and just re-deposited the coins into the bank. Some people earned $1M+ miles for free. http://online.wsj.com/articles/SB126014168569179245

Run for Congress...

No accountability, don't really have to do anything, high salary, no real job requirements except age and citizenship, not a lot of work expectations, and if you are an incumbent your re-election rates are 90% for House and 91% for Senators.

Perfect fit.

Yeah, I was a member way back in the day (like 2006 I believe). It started off as free trades, then it was only 25 free trades a month, then it moved to $4.95, then they were sold to TradeKing. Similar thing with ThinkorSwim, they were also bought out. Perhaps RobinHood's strategy is to just acquire users at a loss and then get bought out...
