Optimizely (YC W10) Makes It Remarkably Easy to A/B Test

Having Optimizely featured on TechCrunch reminds me founder of another A/B testing startup visualwebsiteoptimizer.com asking advice on HN about why his startup is not getting featured on TechCrunch. VWO is definitely compelling and valuable product, but it didn't get covered after multiple tries. Many folks on HN gave advice that - "have a compelling story."<p>The compelling story in Optimizely's case is - "A YC funded company". I'm not against of Optimizely in any way, but this just shows the power of being YC network.

Can we please stop naming companies -ly, -ify and -erous? Pretty please with sugar on top.<p>Sincerely, the world outside silicon valley.

This is pretty cool. Interstingly enough we developed a similar system internally. Without more details I don't know how their analytics work but I'd recommend that they patch into Google Analytics in some way.<p>If they had a system that automatically created the custom segments and let me analyze the data I want in GA that would be incredibly powerful.

By my reckoning, this is the last YC W10 company to launch.<p><a href="https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AkkhSN3vaY4jdF90b1l1Vnl5NmZjaTBNQWlJYVozMEE&#38;hl=en" rel="nofollow">https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AkkhSN3vaY4jdF90b1l...</a>

what's the pricing going to be like when this goes live? i.e. VisualWebsiteOptimizer is $49 a month, how much will this be? $39? $29? $19? $9?

Yay! (disclaimer: I invested)
