Great research. Now its not difficult to see why the traffic can't be monetized.. The traffic stats looks way off and not organic.

I love the concept of the website and the design. However I did find the word "Track" a bit confusing on your title. When I first read the title I imagined a task/calendar type web application.

I'm really impress with the 10k registered users. Can you share what kind of marketing techniques you used?

Played around with the site a little and was not too impressed. What are your guys opinion on this?

Thanks for the idea. Be on the look out for a new social network Meatspace.com coming soon.

But whose the victim in this case? There's no monetary or physical damages in women showing skin. One law is based on belief and the other is in settling a somewhat reasonable claim.

One scenario has a victim and the other is solely based on beliefs. The whole case with Megaupload is about the MPAA claiming that they are a victim of piracy. I understand that everyone has an different opinion on this case, that's why there is a case to begin with. IMO I don't believe that there should be a case to begin with but when there's half a billion dollars that is claimed as lost it's enough to look into it.

I'm not defending the action of our country but your analogy is way off. You're comparing two whole different scenarios. People around the world commit stuff all the time that would violate our laws but you never hear any cases like Kim's until today. Remember the reason Kim was brought to American justice system was because MPAA (American Company) alleges that MegaUpload caused over 500 million dollars in damages to their company. That's a large sum of money and if its in any other industry, any company would do the same.

I remember back then when CEOs were associated with powerful and rich business men. Now every one is a CEO including broke college students with big egos.

Google provides free WiFi in Mountain View? I didn't know that. I worked at multiple buildings on Salado Dr. and a year at Marine Wy. I get no signal if I park across the street.

That's why website owners should focus on creating another classified website that can compete with Craigslist instead of relying on their contents. That's where innovation starts.

And its not about a matter of choice the users have. There are many competitors in this market, and yes Craigslist dominates every one of them because they had an early advantage on the internet. Small sites can't just leech off the contents on their website and slap ads on it to make money.

Lets say Craigslist was a print company that produce and distribute classified as. Will it be right for a small company to steal their content and slap their ads on it and distribute it themselves?

Your argument won't work here, because there are many major newspaper that do 1000x in revenue and distribution than independent newspapers.

--Amazon has more than 15,000 full-time employees at 69 different warehouses (fulfillment centers) in the United States and of course the program is limited to full-time employees. What industry or job have you ever seen a employee working 20/hrs work week getting benefits?

Where are you getting your information from?

Craigslist is a business. What makes it right for another company to profit from the contents they generated through the platform that they build?

Yes, they got an early advantage into the market and has the critical mass that many company can seem to compete with but why take that away from them because they refuse to update/add new features.

Instead of piggybacking on them and relying on their data to earn money, shouldn't Padmapper focus on building their own content. Isn't that where innovation comes from? Beating an existing company by creating a better platform?

"Maybe just put reddit in an iframe?" haha

This seems possible. People usually use the same email and password for every accounts they create so all the hacker needs to do is to try the username and password on accounts on other sites.

The paywall works! got me curious so I signed up. Nothing much to see there. Just a site that sells stuff that people who drives Scions and ride fixe bikes would like.

What's the difference between this site and freelance websites besides the limit? I had many tweaks done through freelancer.com and the responses are almost instant.

200+ million accounts but over 99 percent of them are "limited"

I agree. This is definitely not a long term business model and could only benefit if its built to sell. These people build a business out of tricking people into clicking their misleading title and video thumbnails that are populated from their Facebook Feed(almost like ads) to increase their stats and app users. People don't usually get fooled more than once, so their traffic is starting to decline. Like our president Bush once said "Fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again"

I can't remember the time when Japan and Korea was like China today but you're right, there's no such thing as never. It will just be a lot more difficult for them because they have a history of building crappy products and counterfeit goods. To us they are like a felon trying to find a job. We make judgements based on their history and it will take a lot of convincing to prove themselves.

This may be the first company in China to be innovating instead of working on the Hiphone 6. Regardless, they will never be taken seriously because Chinese companies reputations are already destroyed.

I agree. If I'm doing something I love and getting paid for it then it wouldn't be called work.

SocialCam will never have any long term users because they spam that crap out of everyone's Facebook wall with 15 second videos with misleading title. Doesn't matter how much traction they have now or before eventually these types of site will die down because they are abusing the system and tricking the users into watching the video. How many times do you think a user will click on a misleading video until they completely stop?

I've seen this happen a lot of times. This case is more likely than getting them snatched out from a theft.

Yahoo = Major Leagues , Starting your own start up = Minors

At the first glance, I was very impressed with the design but I was unsure what the website is about. I was able to test out the app and what I got from it was that it is a slideshow with captions. Am I missing any features?

This is a great tool! I was also able to get in on the .98 domain deal.

Great idea! UI is also great and easy to use but you should put an example for the custom feed.

Nice simple idea! I like it

Cool I find this somewhat useful at work.
