1. Get Satisfaction, Or Else... - (37signals)

   Google searches for “[COMPANY NAME ] support” will end up linking people to a Get Satisfaction page. If that’s not the offical support home for that company, who winds up winning? It’s not the company. It’s not the customer. It’s really only in the best interest of Get Satisfaction. ^{link »}

   We shouldn’t be forced to scour the internet finding sites that claim they are doing support for us when th ey’re not. ^{link »}

   Lastly, if you don’t want your competitor’s ads showing up on your (un)official Get Satisfaction support page, that’ll cost you a minimum of $1200/year . ^{link »}

   Gosh, we messed up on the wording of that badge and are changing it pronto. ^{link »}

   This was just unfortunate phrasing (one small part of an ongoing redesign effort), and doesn’t reflect our values ^{link »}

   People make fun of those with NIH Syndrome , but my observation is that folks who suffer from this disorder tend to create faster software, even if they also tend to ship everything late.  :-) ^{link »}

   Fundable is a web-based enterprise which allows anyone to raise a fixed amount of money for a project, while reassuring the backers the project will happen. Fundable withholds the money until the full amount is collected. They return the money if the minimum is not reached. ^{link »}

    Ap parently he was planning on holding out until E3. Gaikai offers a similar service, except without the MicroConsole aspect that OnLive has(or at least until Perry says they have a little box as well). GaiKai calls their service Streaming Worlds and it only requires a web browser with Flash installed. ^{link »}
