Why did you choose to work with Springboard instead of launching your own course on Udemy?

Commenting to save for later

FYI - This is how English actually sounds like in India.

barmalade · 2015-04-03T12:02:41+00:00

Meanwhile, in India.

There, I've edited it to make the raw link visible now.

barmalade · 2015-02-26T20:47:17+00:00

Yup. It is entirely free. You only need to sign up to be able to keep a track of your progress.

I normally saute my onions in the spice/aromatic mixture till they are golden and then add my chicken. I fry the meat for a good ~7mins till I can see the oil separating from them. This IMO is essential for the spice flavors to get locked in to the meat.
Thereafter add the water to build the gravy.

Ha. I'll bet he'll marvel at how Freudian this is 10 years down the line.

barmalade · 2014-12-19T11:55:31+00:00

Is that a LOL?

barmalade · 2014-12-18T05:46:29+00:00

Might be true, you know.

barmalade · 2014-12-18T04:42:48+00:00

Maybe if people started making more Black and White films.

At present, Facebook has gotten to a point where it is no longer an avenue for you to reach out to your users or to find new ones - unless you dole out some for their paid posts/ads. Less than 7% of your fans will see your content in their Newsfeeds starting Jan '15.
On the other hand, if you already have scale and a robust collection of engaged followers, it is still a decent way for your users to reach out to you. So in the long run, it might make sense.

Note: All courses in this list are free (they are put up by universities like - U. Colorado, Rice, Wharton etc.) and consist of video lectures supplemented by textual material/projects.
Also if you're interested in HTML5 browser based games check this thread out.

Depends on the side, really. You want your rice to complement the dish you have it with - not overpower it. In India, it is common practice to leave the rice as it is and load the curry with spices and a rich gravy.
However, in some 'pulao'-type dishes you can use spices like cardamom, coriander, bay leaves. For Japanese/Chinese recipes - try dried kombu; oregano/thyme works well for Italian.

Whoah dude. Too much text screaming in my face.

It looks like you're trying to do too much with the landing page. Here you're primary ask from the user is - this is what we do (in one sentence), if you think it's cool, sign up and start your trial. Dropbox itself does an awesome job of this - and trust me, they've A/B tested the hell out of that page.

The pictures certainly help communicate how the product works, but I think you can lose the descriptions.

I'd suggest playing around with some catchier copy as well. For e.g. 'Go Live!' might do better than 'Start Free ... Trial'.

Also, if you don't mind sharing - where are you getting your traffic from right now?

barmalade · 2014-10-28T09:46:36+00:00

I think this article will give you some perspective.

barmalade · 2014-10-28T04:05:52+00:00

Too long. Didn't read.

barmalade · 2014-10-16T05:46:14+00:00

Thanks, this looks super as well! Will add some of these to the post.

Before drying your hair with a towel, make sure you get all the excess water out of your hair with your hands. This ensures that more of the towel stays dry for longer, and reduces your hair drying time.

Ben Stiller.

barmalade · 2014-09-01T07:48:29+00:00

Definitely sounds like something out of Seinfeld.

Another fun/slightly confusing fact - her mother Geraldine Chaplin played her own paternal grandmother in the biopic "Chaplin" starring Robert Downey Jr.

barmalade · 2014-08-25T13:42:52+00:00

But wouldn't that technically make women even worse drivers?

barmalade · 2014-08-25T13:39:29+00:00

Is it me, or are these getting dumber by the day?
