i don't think it's as simple as just doing it. is there a way to delete your personal facebook while operating business profiles/pages?


delete them too :) /s

this is an increasing problem with facebook -- it became a de-facto internet, to some people it became pretty much indistinguishable. I understand desire for customer engagement and other things that platform like fb provides, but given the current state of social media and (alleged) increasing distrust[1] I think businesses will start looking for something else anyway. I'm hoping for the best.

Give operating authority to another person.. social media/PR type person.


Is it that hard to make a new/empty profile and assign it as admin and then delete the old profile?


good ideas! thanks guys.


turntable.fm was super fun! wish they had something like this now.


Yes! I miss turntable. They nailed social listening and built a really awesome community. It would be awesome if they could bring it back using Spotify or something similar.


I came here to say this. I and multiple friends were active users and mourned its demise.

Wondering whether it was due to lack of demand or operational issues. If it was the latter, that implies the concept might in fact work under a stronger team (or one with deeper pockets).

I’d love to see a company like Spotify try to resurrect it. Or even (shudder) Apple. On the one hand, it’d be a drag to have such a lovely service owned by a corporate behemoth. On the other hand, any losses would basically be couch money for them, and I’d be kinda OK with them mining my music data in exchange.


I think it was due to licensing. No source (just a thought), but I could imagine a startup like turntable.fm being pretty simple to build, the trouble comes when the legal portion of the entertainment industry gets involved.


plug.dj is a close replacement, otherwise I made mashup.fm which downloads a copy of whatever you add to your playlist (in case the source got taken down, something very common with the mashup genre due to copyright fingerprinting working very poorly with mashups). The source for that is here: https://github.com/nthitz/mashupfm



Good old time.

I made ttdashboard.com which was a live statistics dashboard for turntable.


jqbx.fm is a great alternative. Not a ton of users yet, but it's a neat product built on-top of Spotify.


they could use a bit of tesla's marketing and website pizzazz


No kidding. The yt video's production values are... unimpressive. https://youtu.be/URgznwTph6M


We’d rather put our scarce resources into building aircraft.



If you're trying to do any type of time frame comparisons (w/w, m/m, y/y) Google Data Studio is the WORST!


Pen and Paper


Bingo. I often can't read what I've written but it's much easier to flow and get ideas out on paper. Theoretically I want to use OneNote but a nice pen and paper wins.


For simple web scraping, I find that kimonolabs.com does a perfectly fine job.


I love what they are doing with kimono and import.io

There's no free lunch lets put it that way. It's free, it's simple but limiting for doing anything heavier. It covers only a small portion of the websites. You can't crawl all the links in a website and hard to scrape data from dynamic webpages etc. Also I found that some websites wouldn't even load making it impossible to define the fields to scrape.


I tend to stick with KimonoLabs, but I did try http://parsehub.com for a while. It's a lot more complicated, but it allows you to scrape dynamic sites.


Excellent choices. We try to take the pros and cons from each of those services and make it better. Basically, Scrape.it aims to be simple to use like Kimono and able to handle complex websites as well.

You can scrape websites like Kayak and Airbnb as well by following the Scrape.it Tool.

We also have a dedicated number of hours every month to create the jobs for you so you could just tell us the websites you want to scrape.

We then monitor the jobs so that they will continue working without interruptions (ip throttle, website layout changes).


I use Dashlane and its been great! Surprised not seeing too much support for it around here...


Just taking a guess but the lack of Linux support might be the culprit.


I use Dashlane as well, have for about 2 years now, I love the app as an extension in firefox and the mobile app with secure notes.


Why can't I just put in my email and subscribe? What's up with the gumroad?


Yeah - have to say this is the most amount of work I've had to do just to sign up for a newsletter.


Okay, thanks for the input, and sorry about that. We'll change that.


We did a quick fix for now, so it's easier to sign up. We'll pt the input form on the site itself soon.


Just put 0$ and you're done, you can subscribe for free.


I would make it work with the spacebar.
