I hear that when you’re the founder of a post-funding startup, when you travel you stay in hotels where the beds are made of dreams, the showers cascade like waterfalls from heaven, and they leave ice cream on your bed in the morning.
When you’re the founder of a pre-funding startup you stay in the cheapest place you can find where you won’t be murdered in your sleep.
The last time I came to Atlanta, I crashed on my sister’s couch, but this trip we have meetings scheduled instead of just code sessions, so I found a really cost-effective (cheap) and efficient (tiny) hotel. There’s barely a desk, but there is a tiny couch-like surface embedded in the window. And Wi-Fi. I love that even the cheapest hotel manages to have free Wi-Fi.
Since we’re showing Divvs off to some folks today, we decided last night to finally implement a new feature we’ve been talking about for a while. I haven’t had time to document it yet, but you can now secure your posts on Craigslist, other listing sites, blog comments…anywhere that has a text input box, really. Using Divvs’ Secure Posts, you can let people know your Divvs Rating without giving up any other information about yourself, and still give them the security of knowing you really made the post. Check divvs.com in the next day or so for official details, or play around with it now. I made it live last night after we finished writing it.
Are you using Divvs? If so, let us know! We’d love to know what you think.

Etsy ratings! I want a higher score than 68.
I am glad you weren’t murdered in your sleep, dear. Did you take a picture?

I contacted Etsy, but they weren’t interested in providing API access to their ratings. If you can get them to say yes, I’ll add the feature.
