As far as I can tell, when people say the iPad is for consumption and not for creation, all they mean is it's hard to type on, at least compared to a full-sized physical keyboard. (In that sense, it's probably true, too.)
Harder to type fast on, but then again in many situations it makes typing easier because setting up a full-size keyboard wouldn't be practical. People forget that sometimes.
I'm the Program Director for one of the accelerators on the list and @jkaljundi's advice is spot on. The only thing I would add would be to seek out alums of the various programs to get a feel for how each one works. They all have distinctive personalities, find one that suits you well.
Agree! I even thought, if I should mention the previous participants but skipped it, since many of the programs are so young, only in their 1st-2nd year. But if possible, it's a good idea to reach out to previous teams, in startup world, they will not mind giving honest feedback on the programs they participated in.
Allows me to load pages in a separate frame and then vote and/or comment on them. Saves me the trouble of loading up 15 tabs and forgetting to vote up the stories that I like.
They did email the whole list immediately. I received the same exact apology email minutes after the first came out.
Despite the fact that it was clearly a (now properly formatted) form email, it was still nice to see that they had realized the mistake and quickly took action in a self-effacing manner. Good on them.
Really nicely done app. Fits well in between eventbrite and manually organizing things yourself.
One thing I'd think about in terms of increasing conversions would be to allow people to test drive the process of Creating An Event without the need to set up an account. You can always gather that info later on in the process.
I'd read everything on that site.
