Idea to paying customers in 7 weeks: how we did it

Great post, thanks for sharing.<p>I Am here in Brazil, crazy trying yo start something just the way you did, Twitter here is very hot (2nd place in the world in tweets after USA)I think you should try to market it here a bit, people here doens't pay a lot for online services but with more than 81,3M internet users you should hit some.<p>If you need help, fell free to ask.

Great story. How did you handle your initial billing? Did you integrate paypal?

Good writeup. I really enjoyed your story, particularly your discipline to focus on customer acquisition and resist the temptation to code in a bunch of new features once you got some paying customers.

Amazing to see how the idea itself revealed the way it could be validated - through Twitter of course.<p>Nicely done. Informative post.

Building a service that is dependent on another service is always a risk, but this is a very nice and simple app that a lot of the "social media" sides of companies could utilize. It's a great idea to make some extra revenue and I think has a nice market. Well done.

Nice work! I love this quote, "It was a tiny idea. I wanted to take the scheduling feature of many Twitter clients and apps and make that single feature awesome. I believed that single feature was worthy of it’s own application."

nice job. I'm surprised however that people are willing to pay for this type of service. Makes you wonder if people would be willing to pay in order to use twitter

Great story. How many users sign up when you had the website put up? Also, were the users still helpful when they realized you don't have the app yet?

This is great - my only worry is that this is something that Twitter could easily replicate and destroy the revenue
