I had very high hopes for Get Satisfaction but it all comes down to how how a given company adopts the technology (like anything I guess) and even the socially curated voted bumped rated voted and offered up on a platter approach... can be 4chan'd. And for that limited possibility -- it's like free reign to just not try. Oh edge cases... promoting corporate ostrich sand combos again and again. Exactly.

I can't begin to tell you the number of companies that think that forums and "community support" are adequate as (I guess) "0th line support". I think by the time someone has waded through that sort of nonsense and come up wanting, you should get a real human on 2nd or 3rd line support. Goring though what is essentially first line support _twice_ (and it might be debatable which version is worse) for a service _you_are_paying_for_ will cause a lot of people to look elsewhere. I only need to hear "have you tried turning it off and on again" once. (a small side note) One of the things I find hysterical about forum based support is that, after a particularly bad and embarrassing problem that bunches of people comment on; forums are usually "sanitized" of the issue (and occasionally users are BANNED FOR LIFE.). While cost benefit analyses of keeping certain customers is appropriate and encouraged; I feel this sort of behavior decreases the perceived (and actual) utility of "community support". Oh my God yes.

* Market categories are not defined enough (i.m.o)… Having a dozen or so categories cannot hope to describe the hugely varied assortment of apps that are conceivable on a modern-day computing device, to allow one to only look at apps that do the exact function the user is looking for (i.e., Under “Tools” you have password managers, app lockers, measuring apps, unit conversion apps, etc… and they are all mixed up together, see next point)

* No offline (i.e., via HTTP, not only on a Android device) listing of apps… at least I haven't found one that is comparable in terms of current information + complete listing, as the Market accessible via an Android handset

I am sure I could think of more ways to improve upon the existing Market (to start with), to make it more inline with the greatness that I think is the Android platform, if only I had a device to dev + beta test with.

Hence, I think, as no-one to-date seems to have tackled with the issues above (and many more, in regards to the Market, others in the online community have posted & blogged about), when I am able to get my hands on one of these devices, I would pay forward the generosity of Jay and try and make others lives easier by solving perceived inadequacies, like the above.

I'll tell you who's a worthy recipient for the HTC EVO: TriDroid. That thing would be sweet for demonstrating phone stuff on the big screen at meetups, something that's currently quite hard. And I could loan it out to developers that actually need the capabilities between meetings. And I'd tell everyone who donated it so you gain notoriety! Win?

When you work a consumer and consumables based product line, facebook and social media offers fantastic exposure - no doubt.

I feel they are upsetting the wrong people and its just a matter of time before the word starts circulating. Just look at the anger the constant layout changes bring to people. Facebook simply isn't listening, nor do I think they care. However, they will care once they see their user base numbers decreasing. Zuckerberg is a complete clown.

Jared pulled together folks like Casey from Google and Daniel from Yahoo and I'm there to make sure they all have cold beer during the talk. What I'm hoping to explore further is <em>the crowd sitting in front of us</em> and their role in this... sure, I've got strong opinions on the topics but I think the Q&A will be top notch... or perhaps it will involve chairs flying... metaphorically. See you! Yep. You must!

Looks like you guys are going WAY further in depth. Now you have me curious what the microbrew was. I've been in NC twice now (both last fall) and had a lovely Winter Ale there that I know was local. Sadly, I didn't write it down. See you in Austin Ooh. Okay, if it’s you & Jared and it’s on this topic? I guess I’ll have to be responsible and show up! ;)
