1. What anti-anti-spam agreements do you have with email providers? Are you signed up with senderscorecertified.com and other whitelists? How do you ensure that other users don't cause my messages to get rejected or misfiled as spam?
2. The SMS rate looks too good to be true. What agreements do you have with Wireless carriers? I have noticed that AT&T seems to block many SMS messages that businesses try to send me.
3. Do you have a (shared) SMS short code? Premium SMS?
suggestion: I'd put a sentence or two at the top of your post (or on blog sidebar) about what your service is.
You're (probably) going to get some traffic via this post, not all of them will have read your previous HN posts -- sell to them rather than make them wonder pricing for what
This is one of my pet peeves: Product blogs that don't provide a big, obvious link to the product at the top of the page. (Not to mention: In the sidebar, in the footer...)
As a member of the culture that invented 24-hour cable TV shopping channels, one would naively think that the usual failure mode for product blogs would be "Arrgh, every time I mouse over any element on this page there is a popup link to the product! The page detects if I linger for more than ten seconds and automatically pops up links to the product! The product's name is inserted, subliminally, in faint text between every line!" You know, overkill.
And yet the opposite is the case. I have been to lots of product blogs that don't link directly to the product, but force me to guess its URL (which is usually easy, thank god) and then manually type that URL into my address bar. Why this keeps happening I have no idea.
