Good, I'm glad they were rejected - If they weren't, I wouldn't have known about them, nor would I have purchased one.
This way they get their money in the form of guaranteed, up-front orders, and I get a cool new product "before" anyone else. I feel exclusive and I'll have the hot new gadget to show off.
It's a win-win, and I hope more companies opt for this route - it is true market validation.

No, I'm being serious - I've only been to NYC twice, but both times I made a point to go have some great pizza (and then walking around I had some $1 slices as well).
Coming from Toronto, I know we have half cardboard in most places, but the grimadlis pizza just didn't taste that good to me. Could be that we just weren't used to it, but we tried it twice and had similar thoughts both times.
I'd spring for this. I spend a ton of time doing customer support that's pretty unnecessary, but not enough to hire an additional dedicated person. Outsourcing the whole thing would be a good idea.
I'd assume a basic per monthly fee of $xxx with a $x amount per interaction ($x for an email, $x*1.5 for a phone call, etc)
I find the reddit interface extremely annoying with AMA... I want to see all the questions and answers, I don't want to see the random ones that don't get answered, etc. Just show me everything in a neat organized way. Love the guys that summarize everything at the end.
I don't know if this is what they did, but many embed their video in a pop-behind when buying traffic (for far less then a penny per view), and as the video is played behind the site, they get a view.
I use Fiverr for all of our phone message / voiceover work and it really did impress - to think that these guys can make money doing 100 words for $4 (after fiverr's cut) is pretty crazy.
The only thing that could be more desired is a faster turn around time, although I'm not willing to pay 10 times the amount that this is estimating.
I have at least three mp3's that were ripped like 8 years ago that I've sent to myself over the past couple years (2009 is most recent). They are all there and still good, and artists that I'd assume would be taken down if this was true.
You can check if you have any by searching, adding ".mp3" to required words and clicking check attachments (I also added from me to me)
I haven't, but margins arent exactly high enough to be paying a per image fee. I looked into ftping everything to India, but I was looking at somewhere in the range of 10-11 cents just for a crop and basic enhancement.
