Water Cooler / Re: Majestic is one of the fastest growing UK tech companies
« on: January 30, 2015, 10:26:19 AM »
Afaik there are many things Majestic people would love to do, there is no shortage of ideas and suggestions, but apparently development is their bottleneck currently.

Thank Yahoo for pulling the plug on linkdomain 
And Blekko for going paid only
If not for that, would you ever consider using any link tools?

Here's the one I use for the opposite purpose - namely, to find spammable places
It surely isn't by any means comprehensive and can still be expanded - it's just what I grabbed from my comment moderation queue one day when I needed it

Name.com is decent - there is even a way to get private whois for free
Whatever you do though, don't use namecheap - they are shite

Dunno about now but I came to the conclusion that NameCheap is shite a couple years ago. We had several domain names with them, hosted on 3 different servers, and none of them could resolve properly. They kept telling me it was the host's problem - hello? 3 completely different hosts at once? In the end, I said just cancel my account and refund me the domain names, I won't manage anything via you - and there was a long long story with the cancellation too as one might assume. Haven't used them since and I always advise people against them.
Tamar Weinberg worked for them for some time in some PR function (don't remember her title exactly now), I replied to one of her tweets referring to this story (which happened before she joined them), she asked me to forward her the details so she could look into it, turns out she couldn't even find any records in their system... Maybe it's how it's supposed to be with them for cancelled accounts, but still they do give an impression of a pretty f###ed up company.

I don't know if anything has changed in the last 4-5 years but back in the day my assistant had a Lenovo NetBook. A couple months after it was purchased it started freezing so badly it was impossible to use. Shite brand.

Web Development / Re: Sarah has been editing Wikipedia on behalf of paying clients
« on: January 15, 2014, 12:26:36 AM »Quote
A record of past projects on that page showed that she was paid $300 last month to create a "Wikipedia Page for an individual." Another ongoing project listed on her page showed Stierch commanding $44.44 an hour for editorial work on the site.Sounds like oDesk to me
Which then explains the relatively low rate. oDesk is not exactly the place to charge a lot more for anything - it just wouldn't ever sell as you would be outbid on any project and in providers search by swarms of cheap third world providers.

If this is what they call a startup these days... 
We used to launch a dozen of such "startups" a day back in the day

Ah ok, so in this case the screaming over completely losing ability to track opening rates is indeed a bit exaggerated
