Qualcomm Inc. (NASDAQ:QCOM) is set to report FQ2 2014 earnings after the market closes on Wednesday, April 23rd. Qualcomm is an American global semiconductor company that produces and designs products and services for telecommunications devices including high end smart phones. Smartphones have been booming lately, and QCOM stock is up 10% since the start of 2014 alone, which is especially impressive considering the broad sell-off in tech stocks that the market has seen. This quarter, the market has sky-high expectations for Qualcomm. Here's what investors are expecting from Qualcomm on Wednesday.
The information below is derived from data submitted to the Estimize.com platform by a set of Buy Side and Independent analyst contributors.
(Click Above to see Estimates and Interactive Features for Qualcomm)
The current Wall Street consensus expectation is for Qualcomm to report $1.22 EPS and $ 6.496B revenue, while the current Estimize.com consensus from 40 Buy Side and Independent contributing analysts is $1.25 EPS and $6.575B in revenue. This quarter, the buy-side as represented by the Estimize.com community is expecting Qualcomm to beat the Wall Street consensus on both EPS and revenue by a considerable margin.
Over the previous 6 quarters, the consensus from Estimize.com has been more accurate than Wall Street in forecasting Qualcomm's EPS and revenue 3 and 4 times, respectively. By tapping into a wider range of contributors, including hedge-fund analysts, asset managers, independent research shops, students, and non professional investors, Estimize has created a data set that is more accurate than Wall Street up to 69.5% of the time, but more importantly, it does a better job of representing the market's actual expectations. It has been confirmed by Deutsche Bank (NYSE:DB) Quant. Research and an independent academic study from Rice University that stock prices tend to react with a more strongly associated degree to the expectation benchmark from Estimize than from the Wall Street consensus.
The magnitude of the difference between the Wall Street and Estimize consensus numbers often identifies opportunities to take advantage of expectations that may not have been priced into the market. In this case, we are seeing an average differential between the two groups' expectations.
The distribution of estimates published by analysts on the Estimize.com platform range from $1.19 to $1.35 EPS and from $6.397B to $6.851B in revenues. This quarter, we're seeing an average sized distribution of estimates on Qualcomm.
The size of the distribution of estimates relative to previous quarters often signals whether or not the market is confident that it has priced in the expected earnings already. A wider distribution of estimates signals less agreement in the market, which could mean greater volatility post earnings.
Over the past 4 months, the Wall Street EPS forecast fell from $1.28 to $1.22, while the Estimize consensus fell from $1.28 to $1.25. Meanwhile, the Wall Street revenue consensus plummeted from $6.751B to $6.496B, while the Estimize consensus gradually declined from $6.696B to $6.575B. Timeliness is correlated with accuracy, and downward analyst revisions going into an earnings report are often a bearish indicator.
The analyst with the highest estimate confidence rating this quarter is princebhojwani, who projects $1.25 EPS and $6.550B in revenue. Princebhojwani is ranked 45th overall among over 4,150 contributing analysts. Over the past 2 years, princebhojwani has been more accurate than Wall Street in forecasting EPS and revenue 58% and 50% of the time, respectively, throughout 173 estimates. Estimate confidence ratings are calculated through algorithms developed by deep quantitative research, which looks at correlations between analyst track records and tendencies as they relate to future accuracy. In this case, princebhojwani is expecting Qualcomm to report in-line with the Estimize community on EPS, but come up slightly short of the community's expectations on revenue.
This quarter, the Estimize community expects Qualcomm to beat the Wall Street expectations by 3c per share in EPS and $79 million in revenue. Qualcomm stock has been red hot this quarter, and the bar has been set high for the semiconductor company.

Slow and steady, I step forward
my heart jumps as I gaze around
and I stand there paralyzed
until I realize I'm on solid ground
A smile arises onto my face
as I hear you call my name
this feels so silly to me
like it's just a game
I look up ahead
and I search for you
my mind so scattered
wondering if you feel as I do
I finally see you
smiling down at me
and I feel an electric surge
a surge of relief
but my vision starts to blur
my image of you not here
and I'm left here alone
just me with my tears
"Where did you go?"
I quickly say
hearing my own echo
knowing that you ran away
He couldn't hear me anymore
his ears deaf to my cry
yet I cry anyway
Asking, "Was it all a lie?"
I take a step back
feeling the earth rumble beneath my feet
pieces of the ground breaking off
and the earth caves in deep
Losing all of my balance
I fall over the edge
I'm desperately hanging on
from that dusty ledge
I think back to you
wondering where you are
I thought you'd be here
I thought you were a star
Weeks go by and I'm still hanging
waiting with hopes that you'll be back
still you don't come and I slowly slip
hoping for the strength I seem to lack
Still, you're gone and I'm tired of waiting
for something that's not real
I can't believe what's happening
it all just feels surreal
One finger falls
then two and three
I can't help thinking,
"I'll finally be free."
I let go of that edge
closing my eyes and breathing
just falling from that place;
my heart is quickly beating
I open up my eyes
to see that I'm not dead
feeling happy to be gone
away from that old ledge

Linux in a Nutshell

Juli 2005
BeschreibungOver the last few years, Linux has grown both as an operating system and a tool for personal and business use. Simultaneously becoming more user friendly and more powerful as a back-end system, Linux has achieved new plateaus: the newer filesystems have solidified, new commands and tools have appeared and become standard, and the desktop--including new desktop environments--have proved to be viable, stable, and readily accessible to even those who don't consider themselves computer gurus.
Whether you're using Linux for personal software projects, for a small office or home office (often termed the SOHO environment), to provide services to a small group of colleagues, or to administer a site responsible for millions of email and web connections each day, you need quick access to information on a wide range of tools. This book covers all aspects of administering and making effective use of Linux systems. Among its topics are booting, package management, and revision control. But foremost in Linux in a Nutshell are the utilities and commands that make Linux one of the most powerful and flexible systems available.
Now in its fifth edition, Linux in a Nutshell brings users up-to-date with the current state of Linux. Considered by many to be the most complete and authoritative command reference for Linux available, the book covers all substantial user, programming, administration, and networking commands for the most common Linux distributions.
Comprehensive but concise, the fifth edition has been updated to cover new features of major Linux distributions. Configuration information for the rapidly growing commercial network services and community update services is one of the subjects covered for the first time.
But that's just the beginning. The book covers editors, shells, and LILO and GRUB boot options. There's also coverage of Apache, Samba, Postfix, sendmail, CVS, Subversion, Emacs, vi, sed, gawk, and much more. Everything that system administrators, developers, and power users need to know about Linux is referenced here, and they will turn to this book again and again.

Santo Tomas Vacation Packages
Santo Tomas is located 65 miles (105 kilometers) from Cusco and about 95 miles (153 kilometers) from Cusco - Machu Picchu.
The Santo Tomas Plaza is a good spot to visit while you are in the area. Another is the Santo Tomas Cathedral.
See for yourself why Cusco is so popular by local and international travelers alike, by renting a vehicle and setting off to explore the many man-made and natural attractions surrounding Santo Tomas.
About 65 miles (105 kilometers) to the north of Santo Tomas is Cusco, a regional center where you'll find Pukapukara, UNSAAC Yale International Center and Tambomachay. If your itinerary allows consider checking out Cusco Museum of Popular Art, Plaza Tupac Amaru and Cusco Craft Center before heading back to Santo Tomas.
A good way to get to know an area is by gaining an understanding of its history. While in Cusco, be sure to stop by the area's historic old towns. When the weather's great, why don't you check out Cusco 's gardens, open-air markets and farms?.
If you love to take things a little easier when you are on a holiday, Cusco has some good options for you, like cycling and bird watching. If you believe a great vacation is maxing-out your heart rate in unique natural environments, then join one of the mountain climbing and mountain biking excursions the Santo Tomas area has to offer.
You will be sad to bid "Adiós" (farewell) to this special spot.

This Lent, take a 40-day devotional journey with Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Click here to sign up.
And so John paraphrases the longer statement that one must acknowledge that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh (4:2) with the simpler formula that one must acknowledge Jesus (v. 3). Such a restatement makes it clear that what John ultimately seeks is faith in a person, the Incarnate Christ, and not faith in a doctrine, even the doctrine of the Incarnation (Smalley 1984:223). "Acknowledg ment" (NIV) or "confession" (RSV) of Jesus means allegiance to him. It is personal, for it is a person's commitment to Jesus Christ. In this light, the prophets who apparently deny that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh manifest the spirit of the antichrist, because they deny Jesus. They have left the fellowship he calls together; they have ignored his atoning death; they failed to preserve the Johannine teaching about him; and they have violated his commandments. In short, they have failed to align them selves with him. In John's dualistically oriented world view, such a failure can be stated in its harshest terms as the opposition of the end time, expected in the antichrist (v. 3; 2:18-19). The defectors have the spirit of antichrist, a spirit opposed to the Spirit of God because it ranges itself against the Son of God, Jesus Christ, and what he calls people to be and do (3:23).

The only downside is that we are on a sideways slope and being on the public road we're not supposed to use our ramps. The French guy in front (there are only the two vans here) craftily waited until there was only the two of us before putting his on ramps. Trust a Frenchman to buck the ...

First stop - Normandy
After an early start and being kept awake by a couple of Germans who had decided to camp right outside our window on the camp site and talking in their native tongue till the sun came up, I decided to get up and start and get things checked over for our journey across to France. Checking the oil and tyres and the sort. Boy stuff.

"Looking for a quick, cheap way to get all bent out of shape? Have we got the perfect brew for you! Proudly we introduce Binge Beer*. It's the latest screw-you-up-quick beverage from the makers of Straight-To-The-Gutter Wines, the Hammer Time Corporation. We know you could give a crap how it tastes, or about the color. The only two things you care about are how quickly it messes you up, and is the swill affordable? We don't claim to use the finest ingredients, or put a 'born on' date on the label. Instead, we think we've come up with an ingenious invention that you, Mr., Mrs., or Miss Wasteoid will find much more useful. On our label you'll find the 'Hammer-Factor' of our beer; IE: How much alcohol is in each beer, multiplied by a six-pack, then multiplied again by how long it takes the average beer-drinker to consume the six-pack, with a funnel. We also pre-strain our beer through a loaf of bread to filter out most of the harmful chunks. So all you are left with is pure guzzling pleasure!**
*Warning: the Surgeon General has concluded that Binge drinking is harmful, and often fatal! Please, the Hammer Time Corporation urges you to drink in moderation
**Now, when you buy one case of Binge Beer, receive a second case for just .99 cents more!

i happen to be drinking a beer right now. they were out of Binge Beer (obviously because of its incredible popularity) so i had to settle for Old Milwaukee (it was the cheapest i could find). i will eventually get back to posting the humor stuff but right now i need to keep my emo fan base happy (yeah, right). bruce.
Good one! I really like that you keep adding those funny names like "Hammer Time Cooperation" etc, which you use in a lot of your writing.
Just one thing: Wasn't the beer lethal to drink, how can you give out an ADDITIONAL case for just a dollar, people will kill themselves...
It's really weird that I haven't seen the "Hammer-Factor" in my beer before... They keep whining about the % vol.
Stupid people are trying to confuse us...
"I like it"
Very clever. You know, I tried one of those Four Locos once, just to say I did, and the only attraction is the Hammer Factor. They should just be honest, and hire you to write their ads!
Bob, that's what I get for hopping right out of bed, and trying to answer my comment without the aid of any dark-liquid stimulant (coffee!) I just tried to send you a reply to your comment, and I wasn't on the Booksie site (I was on G-Mail), so it posted on the Binge Beer ad itself! Anyway, if you want to see my response, I'll refer you back to the Binge Beer ad!
Bob, here's to you! Oh, that's right, you can't see me hoisting a tall, cold imaginary 50% alcohol-by-volume beer up to my face. The glass is so chilled, that condensation is beading up on the outside of the glass, and is dripping onto my shirt. Oh, wait a minute, that's drool because I'm still half-asleep!
I'm glad I'm not a beer drinker.
I suspect this ad is true though.
Love the humour.
Haha i want some!
Cheers! I think I have already tasted some, but I can't quite remember...

|Word processors like Microsoft Word often have a macro language built into them. Macro language is the language built into a computer software application. A Mal_vundo-3 is written in a macro language, and thus affects macro programs.
|Trojan.vundo Vundo.ab
How to manually remove Mal_vundo-3 guide. Only for ADVANCED users.
Check running processes on your system. Usually you can find Mal_vundo-3 process running. Use the Ctrl+Shift+Esc buttons combination to open system information window and click Processes tab. Scroll down the whole list and try to find the process named like Mal_vundo-3. If you find Mal_vundo-3 process running, right click on it and choose "End Process". It will disable Mal_vundo-3 for the current Windows session, but remember that if you do not completely remove Mal_vundo-3 using next steps, then your PC will stay vulnerable to malware attack. Next steps are much more important in removing Mal_vundo-3.
Prevent the malware from leaking or spreading your personal data. Malware usually uses the Internet to transfer all possible and important information you have. Some Malwares are not so "Active" and they can simply disable some Windows features and options. To disconnect your PC from the Internet you need to plug-off LAN cable (if you use LAN connection) or to turn of the Wi-Fi module (if you use Wi-Fi Internet connection). Most of (not 100%) Malwares can not access Wi-Fi module preferences. Turning off the Internet will disable Mal_vundo-3 from transferring any data from your PC.
The next step is very important in removing Mal_vundo-3. After turning off the Internet and disabling Mal_vundo-3 process you will need to reboot your PC in so-called Safe Mode. Safe Mode is a Windows mode which allows you to start the System using only important applications and services. Safe Mode does not usually allow Mal_vundo-3 to load when the system boots (!!!but exceptions can appear!!!). Choose Restart in Windows Start menu and wait until the screen turns off.
After that you have to follow the next instructions according to the versions of Microsoft Windows you use:
Press the F8 key repeatedly when the first screen appears.
Select Safe Mode from Windows Advanced Options Menu and press ENTER.
Press the F8 key repeatedly when the first screen appears.
Use the arrow keys from Windows Advanced Options Menu in order to select Safe Mode and press ENTER.
Press and hold the Shift button when left-clicking the Restart button on Windows log-on screen.
Select Safe Mode from Windows Troubleshooting boot screen and press ENTER.
Having booted your PC in Safe mode you have to start cleaning your PC manually by deleting every file associated with Mal_vundo-3 one by one.

Marijuana Research Still Stymied by Federal Laws
January 23, 2017|
US scientists continue to have a hard time getting funding to study the health impacts of the drug. But cannabis research in Canada—where medical marijuana is legal nationwide—is different story.

On these pages you'll find the information you need for a bicycle-trip around the island of Sri Lanka. We've included information about maps, accommodation and routes. And a detailed description of the route we followed.
We've made this trip in September and October 2004. Starting in Negombo and traveling clock-wise around the island for 1200 kilometers.
The East Coast, is it safe?
Although many governments advise travellers to avoid this area we encountered no difficulties. People were friendly, and at the heavily guarded checkpoints, police and military just waved us through. But it is obvious that tension still prevails in this area.
You may see clearly marked mine fields along some of the roads. Mine fields, laid out in a military defensive way, also surround army camps and checkpoints.
To go or not to go? Here are some sites with travel advice to help you.
- The Foreign & Commonwealth Office (UK)
- Australian Department of Forein Affairs (Australia)
- US Department of State (USA)
Maps; getting around
The 1:450.000 Sri Lanka map by Nelles Maps is a good overall map of the country with relief shading. The map gives road numbers and distances but both were often less than accurate.
We used the well-known Lonely Planet travel guide for general travel information. Get an up-to-date edition as tourism expands quickly in Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka on the WWW
We searched the web for useful (bike) sites and found these.
- Raph's Travel to the Horizon ; excellent site to start
- Holiday in Sri Lanka, October 1998
- Local newssite from the Tamil point of view
Roads and Traffic
The main highways, e.g. the Colombo Kandy road, are well paved and wide. These main roads tend to be very busy, full with speeding trucks, busses and cars.
Sri Lanka also has an well developed network of secondary roads. Most of these are quiet but narrow and bumpy. Signposting on secundary roads is less developed; you may have to ask for directions more than once.
Of all traffic, the brightly painted private busses are most dangerous. These drivers drive like madmen. Watch out.
Sri Lanka seems to be a popular biking destination. We met several other cyclists, all of them Dutch. There are plenty of possibilities to book an organised biketour.
Most roads do not have a shoulder (small strip on both sides separated by a line). Traffic is on the left hand side of the road.
Your bicycle
Outside major towns not much is available to repair a broken bike. To get the essential part you may have to go a long way. See our interactive checklist for some advice on what to bring. Or try our Bicycle Dictionary to translate bike-related words to and from many languages .
Food and drinks
Even the smallest village will have a few minuscule shops selling items like bananas, coconuts, bread etc. In most villages bottled drinking water is for sale. Every hotel and guesthouse will have it's own restaurant. Try Sri Lankas famous "rice and curry" dishes.
Climate and weather
We visited Sri Lanka from September 19th to October 16th. The west-coast rainy season had started 3 weeks earlier than expected so we had several moments of heavy rain. Once on the east coast the weather was better.
Most of the days it was partly cloudy with temperatures hovering around 30 degrees Celsius.
Nights were hot in the lowlands and pleasantly cool in the higher areas such as Ella, Kandy and Nuwara Eliya.
Flora and fauna
Some of Sri Lanka's main roads lead through National Parks. You may see elephants along the road. Monkey's and numerous species of brightly coloured birds can often be spotted.
Where to stay
We were able to find accommodation in every town we stopped. Government run Resthouses (some of them now run by private companies) proved to be an excellent option.
Not all cheap places may have (good) mosquito nets; we brought a lightweight one and used it a couple of times.

buffalo on july 1st, commemorating the pan american centennial exposition,
with many other vendors. >>
Hey Harry:
Buffalo is ready for you!
Harry Abel is referring the the Second Annual FLOURISHING FLORA
subtitled: Where East meets Western New York.
This is a full day of fun and frolic built around a Japanese theme. We
started out having a show for Japanese irises, an exotic species with large,
dinner-plate flowers, blue/green foliage and a bloom time around the Fourth
of July. Then we began adding other plants with a Japanese background (or
Eurasian).... and eventually a theme developed. Last year we decided to
it together into a bonafide event and move it from a little nursery to the
Japanese Garden at the Historical Museum in Buffalo. This was accomplished
by Carolyn Schaffner, who continues to be the creative force behind the gig.
Last year we invited Harry Abel to give a talk on Japanese Maples (after
enjoying his talk at Hosta College), he accepted and was so fabulous we
invited him for this year, last year!
So this is how the day will play out..... There will be a number of plant
displays - a judged Japanese Iris show (go to Ensata.com to see what these
look like - sit down first and have the smelling salts handy), a cut leaf
hosta show, a daylily exhibit, a bonsai exhibit, an Ikebana exhibit. We
have an origami master (and not just goofy swans and boats), a kite display
and several vendors. There will be a sushi bar.
Harry's talk will be on Hosta Bonsai and we are having TV coverage the way
did last year (hey Harry.... Sally will be there). At the end of the day we
will have an auction of donated items to offset the costs.
It's a great day.
And I have the privilege of having Harry as my guest at the Stately Guest
Manor... and the first thing we intend to do is head for Canada and the
"water feature".
Carolyn has pulled together an extraordinary and unique event here and it's
become one of the high points of the horticultural year here. We will post
pictures on the website when the dust settles.

Comments about WestinWestin Platinum CPS 3" Oval Step Bar Step Pad:
Glad I purchased Westin Platinum side step bars.
Friends of mine didn't & cannot find replacement step pads - eventually the step pads wear out & become detached from the side bar. A simple fix to replace-looks like new.
Bottom Line Yes
Fits right, easy install
By BigRedF150
from Lexington, KY
This was an exact fit in my existing step bar to replace a pad that had disappeared. The original pads (and the ones on the other side of the truck) say "Westin Platinum CPS" but this one doesn't have the "CPS" on it so it doesn't match perfectly. This is the only reason that I did not award 5 stars but, still, I was completely happy with it.

Our readers enjoyed our first collection of early customer acquisition stories, so this week we're featuring 8 more examples of now successful companies who did things that didn't scale.
1. ASOS – the ecommerce store mailed its own print magazine to 400,000 customers
Ecommerce brand, multi-channel marketing
Back in 2006, CEO Nick Robertson insisted that the glossy print catalog was still key to making the brand an essential part of customers' lives. Today, besides maintaining a content-rich site, ASOS also has a magazine with a circulation of 456,000 – the 18th largest in the UK, immediately behind Glamour and Closer, and just a handful of places behind New.
Unconditional, free shipping was irresistable
One of the things that kept customers flocking to ASOS was its incredible shipping and returns policy – even in its early days, ASOS was shipping for free and without minimum purchase. That policy has only just recently changed, but ASOS already has a loyal fanbase worldwide.
2. Nasty Gal – no marketing budget, just listening and tweaking
Founder Amoruso would experiment with a product's display until it sold well
Founder and CEO Sophia Amoruso went from selling things on eBay, to running a $100m ecommerce store courted by the biggest names in venture capital – just by "listening and tweaking", and a conviction in the power of perception.
"Back then, she selected her best shots for eBay, and posted them on MySpace to get a more qualitative feel. If the bids were lower than she expected and the comments on MySpace were negative, she'd ditch the model and sell the same item on someone new. Now, she still can't stop meddling – When a wrap dress was getting just one sale a week, she insisted it be put on a popular model. The dress became a top seller at 400 buys a week." (Source: Forbes)
"I just tried to elevate everything, whether it was exciting or not. eBay taught me a lot about perceived value, and how to make things look their best. We didn't really spend any money on marketing. The whole time we've just listened and tweaked, listened and tweaked, and listened and tweaked, and that's what we're still doing…. It's what's great about online." – Amoruso, for Into the Gloss
3 & 4. Twitter and Foursquare – exploded their userbases at SXSW with guerilla marketing
SXSW 2007 – Twitter lived streamed the conference on huge plasma screens
Co-founder Evan Williams decided to visualize the service on 60 inch plasma screens in the hallways, because "We knew hallways were where the action was". Twitter created an event-specific feature that allowed attendees to follow a handful of "ambassadors".
According to Newsweek's Steven Levy, "Hundreds of conference-goers kept tabs on each other via constant twitters. Panelists and speakers mentioned the service, and the bloggers in attendance touted it." During the event, Twitter usage went from 20,000 tweets per day to 60,000.
Foursquare – grew average check-ins from 250k to 350k with just chalk and rubber balls
Foursquare didn't have a booth like most other brands at the 2010 SXSW convention. Neither did it have Twitter's marketing budget (Twitter spent $11k on its SXSW campaign). Instead, it set up an actual game of "four square" in front of the convention hall, which involved just chalk and two rubber balls.
The game drew thousands of walk-up participants [1], Said CEO Dennis Crowley, "We played all day long, and there was always a waiting line. We were handing out tee shirts, buttons, and stickers. Anytime someone didn't know what Foursquare was, we helped them find it on their phone. We helped get them up and running and using it."
5. Uber – won over local communities with free rides and kittens
Uber responded quickly to calls for help and filled transportation gaps
Uber spent 2013 getting its name out aggressively. During a bus worker strike in Boston, Uber offered free rides to Boston Public School students stranded by the strike. Uber got massive publicity and ingratiated itself to the local community.
Its hyper local strategy worked phenomenally. By the end of 2013, Uber had expanded rapidly from 12 to 35 cities, and was growing its revenue by 18% a month.
Partnered with Cheezburger to raise $14,268 for animal shelters
Uber also hit a sweet spot with UberKITTENS – simultaneously delighting its customers, and getting lots of attention (because cats). On National Cat Day, it delivered kittens to callers, who would enjoy a 15 minute petting session before the kittens moved on.
Needless to say, #ICANHAZUBERKITTENS was a huge, viral success and raised $14,268 for shelters in Seattle, NYC, and San Francisco.

6. Taskrabbit – focused on delighting moms in Boston
Taskrabbit first cornered the market with one mothers' group in Boston
Taskrabbit is similar to Uber in its hyperlocal focus. Leah Busque talked about Taskrabbit's early traction in response to a question "How did you acquire your first 10,000 users?"
"It can be tempting to just go really broad, really wide scale, really fast. But for us, we just focused on a customer segment. We focused on this mothers' group in Boston. And once we had cornered that market with that moms' group, those moms were talking to other moms on Beacon Hill and Backbay and Cambridge and it just spread from there."
7. Airbnb – shuttled from coast to coast to talk to their first users
Founders went the extra mile for their earliest users
Founders Brian Chesky, Nathan Blecharczyk and Joe Gebbia acted on Paul Graham's advice in their Y Combinator days and "did things that didn't scale" [2]. Specifically, they went to NYC to acquire their earliest users, then followed up with them extensively.
"When New York took off, we flew back every weekend. We went door to door with cameras taking pictures of all these apartments to put them online. I lived in their living rooms. And home by home, block by block, communities started growing. And people would visit New York and bring the idea back with them to their city." – Brian Chesky, for The Atlantic
"Because of the Democratic National Conventions, some people were using the site in New York and listing places. We would reach out to the very few people we had and get to know them, figure out what products they needed and what we could offer them. We tried to build loyalty knowing that if we did that, they would tell their friends. We'd host parties and meetups and all sorts of different things.
Through that process, they'd get very excited and tell their friends about Airbnb. It was mostly about generating as much buzz and excitement to get them to tell their friends about us." – Chesky, Startups Open-sourced
Airbnb believed in generating word-of-mouth, which would attract the press, which would generate more word-of-mouth
"We never dressed up in gorilla suits but we passed out fliers in coffee shops, train stations—we did all sorts of things. I don't know what tactics worked more than others, but I think press was always the number one tactic for us. The press would spark another group of users, then we'd go visit those people and talk to them and get them excited. It was a pattern that repeated itself." – Chesky, Startups Open-sourced
8. Yelp – grew a loyal user base by rewarding quality reviews
Gave "Kudos" for good behavior
Yelp wanted to create a tight community of consistent reviewers and high quality reviews. It rightly guessed that people were more likely to write in-depth, well crafted reviews when their names appeared alongside them. So it offered special recognition to users who were first to review a business, and let other users give kudos for reviews that are useful, funny, or cool.
And the numbers in 2006 show that most Yelp reviewers got hooked on the site:
Users who contributed 6 or more reviews:
- CitySearch – 4.8%
- Yahoo Local – 11.1%
- Yelp – 65.8%
Users who left only one review:
- CitySearch – 71.2%
- Yahoo Local – 56.4%
- Yelp – 9.2%
Treated their best "Elite" users generously
The most engaged Yelp users are elevated to "Elite" status, visible by a shiny Elite badge on their account profile. By 2006, a full 44% of reviews on the site were contributed by Yelp Elite.
Dave Kim, a six-year Yelp Elite user with over 900 reviews, explains:
"Yelp does a good job of finding ways to reward people, not through monetary means, but little perks … At regular Yelp Events, Elites often got first-chance to RSVP and even got in an hour before everyone else. There are specific events just for Yelp Elite that offer free food and drinks and swag."
Edited to mention: Groove – reached out to the customers that "got away"
CEO Alex Turnbull has written a very detailed analysis of Groove's early customer acquisition tactics, along the theme of doing things that don't scale. The tactic that stood out the most was scrapping – reaching out to customers who chose other competitors, and sincerely asking the reasons for their choice. From the exercise, Turnbull discovered and fixed several bugs, and convince customers to give Groove another chance.
The complete list of early traction tips from some of the best!
From the first collection
- Physically travel to your target user base [Tinder, Alibaba]
- Populate your site with your own content to get other users on board [Quora, Reddit]
- Design your campaign to encourage word-of-mouth [Dropbox, Threadless]
- Facebook can be a great product feedback loop – and marketing tool [Lolly Wolly Doodle]
- Delighting fandoms yields high returns [Black Milk]
- Freemium isn't for everyone, but it's cheap and powerful [Evernote, Yammer]
- Write legendary, jaw-dropping content [OKCupid]
- Harvest interest from target communities before launching [Etsy]
- Guest blog like crazy [Buffer]
In this collection
- Market across a variety of channels – print is not dead [ASOS]
- Test continuously – listen and tweak, repeat [Nasty Gal]
- Experiment with guerilla marketing [Twitter, Foursquare]
- Get involved with your local community; meet their needs [Uber]
- Focus on one community at a time [TaskRabbit]
- Personally follow up with your early users [Airbnb]
- Reward mechanisms incentivize participation [Yelp]
- Consult customers you lost to competitors [Groove]
Lastly, a few words on doing things that don't scale:
Startup growth isn't as linear or neat as we'd like to think, and there are a lot of very valuable things you can do early on that definitely won't work later. And that's okay, because there's a good chance that without those early battles, you won't get a later. – Alex Turnbull, CEO and founder of Groove
[1] The lesson here is not that marketing at SXSW will magically explode your user base. Mark Suster at FastCo advises that this faith is seriously misplaced, pointing out that Twitter and Foursquare cut through the noise by fulfilling a very real need at convention. Twitter allowed attendees to "conference brag", so SXSW needed Twitter. Likewise, Foursquare allowed attendees to keep tabs on one another's exact whereabouts, so SXSW needed Foursquare.
[2] Interesting note: Airbnb also (allegedly) piggybacked on Craigslist extensive network. It's more folklore than established fact, but there are accounts that say Airbnb allowed hosts to post their listings to Craigslist and directed travelers back to Airbnb for the transaction. Additionally, Airbnb also lured sellers on Craigslist to list on Airbnb, offering a better transaction experience.

Mike Bacasa is in his 15th season as a volunteer assistant coach with the University of Pittsburgh men's soccer program. A former Pittsburgh soccer player and 1993 graduate, Bacasa's responsibilities with the Panthers include scouting opponents and on-field coaching duties.
"Mike has been an integral part of our program for the last 14 years, as both a player and coach," said Head Coach Joe Luxbacher. "His playing experience coupled with his knowledge of soccer and coaching make him a fine asset to our program."
As a player, Bacasa transferred to Pitt after two seasons at Westminster College. He walked-on to the Panthers' squad and earned the starting stopper position. After his first season in 1992, Bacasa was voted by his teammates as the MVP, and that same season the Panthers advanced to the Big East Championship tournament. He was named team captain the following year.
Bacasa received his bachelor's degree in biology from the University of Pittsburgh in 1993. He earned a master's degree in physical therapy in 1996 from Chatham College. Currently, Mike operates his own business called Wellness For Life. A product of Pittsburgh's Shaler High School, Bacasa resides in Squirrel Hill with his wife Holly. Mike and Holly have two children: Mike and Charlie.
