If you're going that route, you should allow the contributor to pick from a selection of charities.


The short version (for anyone who is unwilling to view the link from work): Guy brings his computer in for repairs, techs discover pictures, he's arrested. In court he's finally presented with the evidence (apparently innocuous photos of naked children running around in the yard, playing) and announces that these are his grandkids.


I rolled my own Google Voice using the Twilio API. It's not free, but it works.


About ten years ago I was working for a company that was featured in a (fairly glowing) article in the NYT. We linked to it from our media page, and a month or two later received a similar letter from their legal department instructing us to either remove the link, or pay them some outrageous amount of money (something like $4500, if I recall correctly). So we changed the link to an "I'm feeling lucky" search on Google that took you directly to the article. Never heard about it again.


I've been using Braintree for a few years, and I'm very happy with them.


I use the Google Voice app on my iPhone. Are there different features on Android?


Yes. The Voice app on Android will automatically route outbound calls through Google Voice (dependent on your settings) and will add Google Voice voicemail into your visual voicemail queue in your phone's native dialer.


Funny - I switched to an Apple keyboard a few years ago because I found it much more comfortable to have a keyboard with shorter key travel.


But I did hear that Apple keyboard is horrible for your wrists. I've been using the apple keyboard with my iMac for a few years and then recently I started noticing wrist pains. Correlation is not causation, but just to be on the safe side I'm going to get a more ergonomic keyboard.


On the bright side, you'll never make this mistake again. Turn it over to collections ASAP.


I'm using Windows 8 with the aftermarket StarDock start menu, and I've pretty much forgotten that I'm not using Win7 until I accidentally blunder back into Metro. I thought Metro was really neat for the first 20 minutes after I upgraded - until I realized that the mail indicator inexplicably doesn't connect to Outlook. It works with Windows Live/Outlook.com/Hotmail, but not Microsoft's flagship office software suite.


I just looked at your website. Why offer a free plan at all?


As a way for people to check out the backend and get a feel for everything. I've thought about removing the free option, would you recommend it?


Definitely, I'd drop the free plan and offer a trial instead. My guess is that your plan distinctions are lost on most of your target customers who "just need a website".
