Our industry and marketing website may look bland and boring, but trust me, we're doing some really kick-ass stuff on the product side. Our customers include 90% of the Fortune 500 and government agencies around the world.
We're not bootstrapped, taking on venture capital, or getting headlines on TechCrunch, but we are moving at the speed of a startup, building products with Angular, Rails, Go, and have a great team that pushes each other to be better every day.
Oh, and we're located in one of the best cities in North America: Vancouver.
It's not online, but I've been told "The Back of the Napkin: : Solving Problems and Selling Ideas with Pictures" is a good book for that kind of thing.
I went through a search for quality headphones that can also work for Skype calls a while back. I ended up going with what is marketed as a gaming headset. While I'm not a gamer, I've found the SteelSeries Siberia V2 to be pretty great.
Happy to see someone else mention steelseries. The headphones I love are the 5H V2 though. They sound great to me, but more important for long sessions is that they are fantastically comfortable. Not only do they fit completely over my ears but the foam is marvelously soft and supple, unlike anything I've seen on other headphones.
Personally I use a pair of Shure SE-215-K in-ear monitors with the "Shure CBL-M+-K" cable that includes in-cord mic and volume adjustment. That cord will work with any in-ear monitor in the Shure SE line. I highly recommend this route if you're looking to spend within in the $150 to $500 range.
My wife is a middle school teacher and created a system similar to this using a Gmail account. She creates groups for each class, then emails to their SMS address (phonenumber@att.net or similar).
This looks so much nicer than jacking around with all the various carrier email addresses manually.
I'll have her pass this along to her district. Best of luck!
Sounds good. She sent a beta inquiry about getting her school on board with it.
I think the school/district-wide system is going to be your best bet. As I'm sure you're aware, teachers don't exactly bring home the bank. So personally dropping $10/mo for something like this isn't likely going to happen for most teachers (most provide quite a bit of in-classroom supplies out of pocket as well).
Something to consider in promoting to schools/districts: lack of parent involvement is one of the biggest reasons kids aren't doing well in school. By keeping parents informed on a regular basis about what their kids should be doing, there's a better chance homework will get done, studying for tests will happen, and those damn standardized test scores will improve. Well, that's the hope at least.
Sorry for the slow reply, but, that in itself doesn't connect it to an SMS number. That's just so she can contact a class as a whole, rather than individually.
The SMS connection lies in that every mobile number has an email address associated with it. So you can send an email to that address and it will be delivered to the device as a text message.
We're looking for a freelance jr. web designer & developer to contract work out to on a regular basis (ideally local, but will definitely consider remote). HN probably isn't our target market, but if you know a new-ish front-end dev, or are looking to pick up a bit of extra cash, look us up.
I'll throw in a recommendation for PayLeap (http://www.payleap.com) as a combo gateway/merchant account.
As for the the delayed billing, something like OpenGateway (http://opengateway.net) might work. It is set up for subscription payments, but there's a way to work around it. You could essentially set up the initial payment with a 30 day free trial (although don't really call it that), then automatically bill after the trial period. And instead of then billing every 30 days like a traditional subscription, you make set it up so it only charges once (no repeat).
I recently used these two in conjunction and have had great support from both companies. PayLeap has superb phone and email support and OpenGateway has solid email/web support. Also worth mentioning, I'm not an experienced ecommerce or subscription guy, but both systems were pretty easy to work with.
Develop an alternative to TicketMaster that you can white label to MLB, NFL, etc. They could be making millions of extra dollars a year if they had their own system. Why not create the system for them and skim a portion off the top.
[I'm a designer and have no idea what would be involved in making this happen, or if it's feasible from a business perspective. I'm also in Denver, so...would love to hear what comes of your project]
