Oh god they're using Joomla (sobi2)...the usability of the site is really bad. For example, I searched "291 macdougal street" and it returns all of the listings...
I for one am VERY disappointed in MS on this. The corporate/marketing jargon in their responses is what will lead them to fail.
Honest question: Is this an age thing? After reading some of the "witty" things they tried to say it sounded like my 58 year old dad trying to spew out playful banter to my friends at a bar...it just doesnt work.

Yeah there was definitely a generation gap there...I know people who work at Microsoft, and they're some of the wittiest people around. Maybe Microsoft should have let the devs actually answer the questions instead of the suits from marketing.
"User experience is everything. It always has been, but it's still undervalued and under-invested in. If you don't know user-centered design, study it. Hire people who know it. Obsess over it. Live and breathe it. Get your whole company on board." - Evan Williams CEO of Twitter
Ok it's actually just moved a little bit, but more importantly...
Why really should Twitter care? Do they have any obligation to developers? No. Correct me if I'm wrong but legally what's stopping Twitter from shutting off its API and creating its own client?
I love how people think they can just "calculate the value of their future cashflow"...isn't this what we are preached to stay away from now? (i.e. Steve Blank's idea on "business model > business plan")
Actually girls in NYC are attracted to success and most women here are very impressed by "I started my own company in NYC". Although this is where your ability to "massage" the truth comes into play.
I really appreciate the honesty here. But what are you exactly conceding to: that you'll only sleep with me if I truly earn above a pre-determined salary figure (because apparently women appreciates honesty), or that you'll still sleep with me if I come clean and tell you that I'm a just average normal thousandaire (because apparently women appreciates honesty).
Perhaps neither.
In finding you attractive, I am interested in your character (your ideas, imagination, execution), so lying to me will be useless because I'm not interested in what you're working on as much as why and how you're working on it.
In taking you seriously, I am interested in your business (working with you, connecting you with people who might benefit your company), so lying to me will actually hurt you because you'll portray your company inaccurately.
As a Chicago native and a current Manhattan resident I'll have to respectively disagree. The amount of single women in Manhattan is staggering, noticeable and quite frankly of higher quality. For the record - I still love Midwest women.
As a single hetero male I have never seen a single episode of Sex and the City, but I can speak wonders on what it has done for the single man in NYC (and the world for that matter). Thank you SJP...I say the former (better).
