I'm really glad that you pushed out this app, I was looking for something like this. On the other hand, I'm really curious about how you'll make money. I signed up, but if you were asking for some money (either monthly or app purchase fee), I'd feel more secure.

I don't know if there is any RemindMe! bot in HN, but it would definitely be useful in this scenario.

If it was a web app, you'd need to install it, probably with a database for settings, etc., which would invalidate their security claims.

Even though this is better than the lack of it, I find it weird that they're not using Contextual MAB and instead just went with the MAB. You've got the preference of your users anyhow, why not show the picture first that will perform best according to that specific user?

I'm not sure, Bitbucket's price effectively is $1/user and Github's $9/user. I wouldn't expect organisations to move to Bitbucket either, as change is generally costly in terms of man-hour, but current price structure makes Bitbucket eight-fold cheaper.

Please be aware of the fact that this survey is commissioned by Bloomreach to reach a conclusion they'd like.

"By a 2-to-1 margin, respondents to Survata’s survey said they don’t understand why their favorite retailers don’t offer the same kind of dead-on, personalized experience that the big search engines do." It must be a great coincidence that Bloomreach provide personalization services to online retailers.

I'd totally agree with Google part. Their free services (Search, Maps, Mail) are amazing but once you're doing business with them, they are a PITA to work with.

I think Instagram acquisition and this are not similar cases. Instagram was a direct competitor of a core product of Facebook: Photo Sharing while there's no such competition in Tumblr case.

I believe they were just being funny, reporting how ridiculous these event ticket buying process became, instead of reporting this as a comparison between two companies.

They've made one for Einstein in 2003, they can't put a new doodle for him every year.
