Why do website make me "add to cart to see price"? Don't they know I'm just going to add it to my cart to see the price, then not buy it?

@_dom adding to cart shows customer intent to buy, then showing the price is not advertising. Some manuf. don't allow advertising below $x

This whole "invite 3 friends to some shit you've never tried before" thing is bullshit. I'm supposed to endorse something you won't show me?

@rwwmike Agreed. What's a better way to do it? Rewards after you're already using it? Upgrades? Unlock new features? None of the above?

@aaronpk I thought you were in #SFO for a couple of days; just passing through for a day?

.@nickcummings Beer before 10 AM? You're a man of distinguished taste.

@lauramwebster @nickcummings "no beer before noon" doesn't apply at airports. At airports, beer is an acceptable breakfast.

@aaronpk Though once bots start making online purchases, they can cut out the human middleman entirely and the Internet will be lost forever

@mpanighetti Funny you mention that, I was just thinking about making a bot that can buy things from Amazon for me...

@aaronpk Is their goal to just break spam filters at this point? This spam doesn't even have advertisements anymore, so where's the profit?

@mpanighetti They usually include their URL in the "URL" field but not in the comment body. Guess they figure one link is better than 100?

@aaronpk My latest WordPress spam is just "<post title> - <random word describing state of agreement>". It's like they're not even trying.

@mpanighetti lol, I actually got one that literally said %POSTTITLE%!

i hope whoever over at Apple really solves Push notification presentation gets a giant bonus

@marshallk I think they already did. Didn't apple recently buy a startup who was working on that?

Anyone else let out an obscene sigh and a little "That's the good stuff!" under their breath upon the first coffee sip of the morning? Guys?

@incanus77 I need that right about now.

Ever had a night where you got so engrossed in a book that at 3:30am you were so awake there was no hope of sleep?

Oh, well, I have.

@mko not with a book, but in this case with some code :) https://github.com/aaronpk/Tropo-Demos
