I registered a few Twitter accounts as well. Approximately 10 or so.
Here's what happened :
I used my accounts and Twitter kept growing and growing.
I updated my personal account several times a month.
Another one was updated on a daily basis.
My other accounts usually got updated every few months.
Then one day I got a DM from someone asking me whether I was interested in selling the account he was sending a DM to.
I told him I had no intention of selling. Thank you for asking.
I didn't even ask him to name a price cause I wanted to use the account on one of my projects. So whatever his price was going to be, I couldn't care less.
Fast forward a few months of inactivity and it turns out I can no longer access my account AND a big media company is using it.
I was shocked but I remembered the guy's name so I Googled it.
It turns out he was the CEO of the media company who hacked my account !
I should clarify he probably didn't hack it. The password was just too difficult so he must have pulled a few strings in order to get it done.
On one hand it sucks you lost the accounts, on the other hand I'm glad to see the equivalent of domain squatting is at least somewhat solvable on twitter.
Twitter says that inactive accounts (six months with no activity) may be removed at any time, although their web site also says that they don't grant requests to take over inactive accounts (with an exception regarding trademarks).
My wife has a coveted three-letter username, and recently tweeted for the first time in almost five years. That's right: for almost five years the account was completely unused, and Twitter did nothing. I think that's the right way to handle things.
So Twitter may remove accounts, and I know this is anecdotal and one data point is meaningless, but from observing this and other accounts it seems they rarely remove accounts for no activity. Unless, of course, it's trademarked.
_k, did you try to raise an issue? Did you ask Twitter what happened?
Also, this is why Telegram's policy towards "desired username"[1] worries me:
If your desired username is already taken, we will be happy to help you acquire it, provided that you have that same username on at least two of these services: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram.
No, you don't do that! If someone has taken "tom" and that also happens to be the ID of Tom Hanks or Tom Cruise - everywhere else, they should have come first, or you should have reserved all those famous uesernames hoping these celebrities will come to your service.
I want to more closely buy the amount of ingredients required in what I would use them for.
I would love to be able to shop based on meals - where I say "on Wednesday night we are going to serve turkey meatloaf with broccoli and salad for 4 people" and understand the ingredients and proportions that match that.
I wind up having stuff rot because I only use a portion of it for whatever I make, and I don't have a set menu so the food is random/too-often-the-same etc...
Soup and probably other meals are traditionally used to recycle unused ingredients and avoid that "always the same" feeling. It might be easier to do that.
Do you happen to know how that works ?
I never used a service like mailgun or mailchimp.
Do they use IP addresses that are not being blocked by the email services ?
I took a quick look at it because I will be in the market for a crm system. A question I have is whether it's possible to add contacts to a campaign so it's easy to see the results per campaign.
In terms of offering more products without making it look like a tiered system.
If it's invoicing, it's perfectly fine to add that as a feature we can pay for.
Lots of SMBs already have their own invoicing system. They know it's something separate. Just give it a name, a different color and sell it as a feature.
I think I would like a to-do list as well.
Not all contacts buy the same thing but some do, I want to automate it a little bit, so it's a step by step approach that I can go through. Give me a list that I can easily copy to other projects and easily change. Not sure if Basecamp offers something similar. Add it to the crm system as a feature and charge me for it. Sounds fair to me.
Thanks for checking us out! There are two different options if you want to track campaigns. One would be just make a "Group" for each campaign, and then add the appropriate contacts to the group. Very soon we'll be adding the ability to filter the pipeline reports by groups, so that should give you what you're looking for.
Alternatively, you could add a custom field to a pipeline (pipelines = leads for most people) which would track the campaign. It could be a text field or a dropdown list depending on how many campaigns you're running.
As for the task management, it's not quite the same, but you can add a checkbox list to the lead pipeline to track which tasks you've completed. We also have more task functionality coming at some point, but not in the near future unfortunately.
Thanks for the feedback on the pricing. Our reservation with charging more for each feature is that while it's very fair, it seems kind of complicated to some people if they have to pick and choose every single feature they want to pay for. Many of our users love how easy it is to understand the price. What we were considering was offering two products: CRM, and "everything else". So you decide whether you want all the extra stuff (invoice, project management, etc.) or if you just want the CRM, and there are just two prices (probably $10 and $25). I like that model, but it seems a lot like having pricing plans which is why I'm not 100% sold on it yet.
There's a drug on the market that's taken by patients who had prostate cancer. It grows back your hair and is being bought off - label for it.
I forgot the name.
Even if they didn't, how would we know? I have seen countless 1-star reviews of restaurants that I have visited where the content of the review is just bizarre: incorrect names of people, items that aren't on the menu, server practices that are completely out of the ordinary, etc. I can't help but think they are the result of a desperate Yelp ad salesman who wants to burn someone for not buying.
