Looks like you can get it cheaper than $19 if you get a reserved instance.


I've noticed they are directly tweeting to people like @aplusk and @photomatt, trying to get the word out. Obviously the community has made a dent in their bottom line.


Well not necessarily.

Bad publicity has an impact all its own at most companies. For example, they have a whole Marketing department trying to get their name out there in a positive light. When their phones light up with every member of the press wanting quotes (press contacts they've spent years working on their relationship with) the executives have to get together and talk about it and come up with a unified response that won't blow up on them like CarrierIQ.

It's a big big deal for a public-facing company. Bigger than, say, a small decrease in the rate of new $2 account customers.


One of the ones they tweeted to was Jimmy Wales, who had just tweeted "I am proud to announce that the Wikipedia domain names will move away from GoDaddy. Their position on #sopa is unacceptable to us."

Wonder if they'll follow through now?


On this website http://www.w3.org/html/logo/ under technology and badge builder they seem to imply that some of these are part of it.


I remember the debate in the community that happened when they announced those logos. I'm on the side that it was a mistake to do so.


yes, it's abit ambiguous

+1 for Saasy.com. I recommend for a bootstrapped startup.


Very cool, I was not aware of this.


Not sure, I got this link from a G+ post by +PaulIrish


http://seomoz.org is an awesome research tool for seo. They do have a pro account, it's a bit pricy but well worth it for organic keyword research.


http://outright.com/ is what I use. Just 9.95 per month


I have found that the Chrome Web Developer Tools can do anything the Firebug can do and usually Chrome does it in a better way in my opinion.
