“Almost every dimension of cognition improves from 30 minutes of aerobic exercise, and creativity is no exception. The type of exercise doesn’t matter, and the boost lasts for at least two hours afterward. However, there’s a catch: this is the case only for the physically fit. For those who rarely exercise, the fatigue from aerobic activity counteracts the short-term benefits.”July 30, 09:14 PM

International Support, Better Image Options & More
The Goodsie development team just rolled a new release of the Goodsie codebase. I’m happy to report that besides numerous behind the scenes tweaks and enhancements, we have some pretty major new features that we’ve added:
Better Image Support
We really enhanced the support that we have for product images for store owners. We’d gotten a lot of feedback from people wanting to sell photographs or other items that require really high quality images. So for starters, we’ve changed our image resizing algorithms to make much better quality images. Of course the best images will be created when you update the best/highest quality original that you can to us!
But we also decided that often seeing the smaller web-sized images isn’t enough so now inside of any product lightbox and/or detail page where an image is shown, we’ve provided options to see the original quality image. Shoppers can now see a fullscreen lightbox, use a cool JavaScript based detail zooming tool, or have direct image access:
Non-Flash File Uploader
We made a decision a while back to make our website as HTML5 compatible as possible. This meant removing any Flash elements from our website. We did that for fonts a while ago switching to using WebFonts. But not we just erased the last remnant of flash, our file uploader. We’ve implemented a JavaScript based file uploader that still gives the enhanced/simple/one-click experience that we want for people uploading files, without the need to use a Flash application to achieve it!
International Support
The #1 support request on GetSatisfaction for us ever since we launched the beta, has been to provide international support. Our original US-only mindset simply wasn’t going to cut it and was very shortsighted of us. So we all chipped in and got full international support put in place. This is evident in two areas in particular.
First of all, simply enough, we now allow for international addressed to be entered by store owners:
Just as important though, we now also have international currency support. Your Goodsie store can choose to interact in any one of 23 currencies. This depends upon the payment system(s) that you choose however. Amazon Payments only supports US Dollars, Google Checkout supports both US Dollars and UK Pounds Sterling. Paypal however supports the full list of 23 currencies.
Simply use the new ‘Currency’ dropdown in your store settings page and instantly all prices in your store will be displayed as being in that particular currency. When a shopper goes to check out, the payment service will automatically do currency conversion into that shoppers local currency!
We hope that you really enjoy these features, we are constantly working on adding things and have no end of ideas. Please keep the feedback coming on GetSatisfaction!

GPOYW: flavors.me version
I had the pleasure of meeting up with Jonathan, David, John, and Jack— the creators of flavors.me (aka Team HiiDef) last night. What a nice group of guys! They have created some awesome sites, like flavors and goodsie that I just love.
If you haven’t created a flavors site yet, you really should! It’s a super simple and clean way to create a homepage for yourself and aggregate content from pretty much any site you use. And they are rolling out new features all the time!

This video absolutely blew my mind the first time I saw it and its still my favorite Reggie Watts track.
This is an OLD Reggie Watts video — the first one we recorded together — but kind of NEW because the audio was just remastered. Now you can finally hear it without the silly “TURN UP YOUR SPEAKERS” warning.
Even if you’ve seen this one before, I suggest watching it a second time — it’s Reggie at his intimate best.

“July 22, 05:50 PMAbout a month ago, the Flavors Directory, which Jack had originally jury rigged by hand, completely stopped working…Way back last November, Demetre Arges, one of our first beta users, declared Flavors “the new WhitePages”; it’s a characterization that has always resonated internally. The difference is, Flavors-powered sites introduce an incredibly rich visual element that is missing offline and elsewhere, but core to the modern web experience.
So less than two week ago, we resolved to re-build the directory from scratch. John took on the herculean task of developing an automated snapshot system to generate high-quality images with support for @font-face fonts; few of us believed it was even technically possible. For bonus points, he added Name and About search, plus a basic, but very helpful tagging system. Sean and Jack stayed up way past their bed times with some final nips and tucks like multi-views! And voila, the new Flavors Directory is finally ready for prime time!
All paid accounts can be included in the Directory. And those that shine will be featured prominently. Everything is optional. We hope it will make finding Flavors sites far easier and more enjoyable. Please excuse any hiccups that you encounter over the next few weeks :)

Totally cool honor.
a period of consequences: Pricing our small angel round... and hubris vs. humility
It’s a HUGE mistake to raise $100k. Turn around, go back, and raise at least $500k. Trust me — I was there. We bootstrapped for 15 months and thought a couple hundred grand was going to last forever. LIES.

“Peter and Max assembled an unusual critical mass of entrepreneurial talent, primarily due to their ability to recognize young people with extraordinary ability (the median age of *execs* on the S1 filing was 30). But the poor economy allowed us to close an abnormal number of offers, as virtually nobody other than eBay and (in part) Google was hiring in 2000-02.”June 29, 03:53 AM
“Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and LeBron James met over the weekend in Miami to seriously discuss their impending free agency and the possibility of all playing together for the Heat.

“Groupon confirmed that the majority of the deals are not real, save for one running in São Paulo — deals from the site’s 30+ other locations are for venues that don’t exist. Rob Solomon explains that Groupon’s standard practice when it expands to a new market is to show users examples of the kind of deals they could get once the site goes live in their city. All of the fake deals on ClubeUrbano, he says, are meant to serve this purpose, but he concedes that Groupon has “done a terrible job of calling that out on the website”.”June 28, 07:19 PM

Three’s Company!
After many months of hard work, the private beta for Goodsie is finally ready! Post-term is an understatement - it simply refused to leave the development womb.
Goodsie is HiiDef’s third successful launch in less than 24 months and part of the 2009 vintage. The patient is in good health and seeing visitors on an email registration basis.
About Goodsie
Goodsie makes it easy to create an elegant, enterprise-quality storefront to sell physical or digital goods. Retailers of all kinds, from eBay power sellers to artisans in handmade marketplaces, or even musicians on MySpace, can have their own branded online store without any of the traditional hassles of setting up shop online. Goodsie features a real-time design interface, structured product search, support for Paypal, Google Checkout, Amazon Payments and much more. It costs per $20 month with a 30-day free trial.
A sincere thanks to David, Jack, Kevin, Eli, Ed, Jeff, Rob, Heather, John and the rest of the team for making Goodsie a reality!

“But blogging on Tumblr is sort of like being in high school…Face it. You need to leave Tumblr behind and graduate to Posterous.”
Aggressive marketing would be a woefully insufficient characterization. As both an entrepreneur and target user, this crosses my personal moral standard. Having said that, its definitely clever and very well written! I will stick with my high school friends on Tumblr though. And so will all of the HiiDef blogs. Tumblr has always been really good to me.

Re: Hulu For Magazines Gets a CEO: Good Luck, Morgan Guenther!
I consider TiVo to be one of the more disappointing, almost tragically so, business failures of the past decade. For a product that effected so much positive change and still remains far superior to any alternative, TiVo failed to adequately capitalize on their invention, particularly during the 1999 - 2003 period. This guy sounds like a real 'Ace'.

Re: Google Takes a (Small) Stab at Fixing Twitter Search
That's a tallest midget contest, though. Summize is better than nothing, which is what Twitter used to have until 2008, which is sort of amazing, but then again not so much, if you think about the company's history (which it explained quite well today at Chirp). And, to be sure, if you want to know what people are saying about a single key word, right now, it does indeed surface those results. But it doesn't do search in the way most people think about -- with some kind of ranking for relevance, and an intelligence that can figure out if you're more likely to be looking for "eagles" the band, the football team, or the bird. Etc.
April 14, 11:17 AM
Re: Google Takes a (Small) Stab at Fixing Twitter Search
What are you implying about Summize? Personally, I prefer Twitter search (Summize) to any of the 3rd-party Twitter search engines.
