An ugly omen of dark times ahead. Weird how this isn't making front page.

EDIT: the moderators are idiots.


Is there something I could have done to improve the submission?


Didn't I see this on the front page a minute ago? This is big stuff. Ignore at your own peril.


I see where your getting at. It's a bit like vow of now's "zen mind guaranteed or your money isn't refunded": http://vowofnow.com


I recently bought a Blackberry because of its built in encryption features. It's a great phone but is missing two popular apps: Evernote and Audible.

If you made an app to substitute for either one and charged a few bucks for it, you'll make passive revenues for a long time. Not only that, you'll be loved by crackberry users the world over.

Seriously, how many business types subscribe to Audible and to Evernote? And people are looking for more secure communications. It's an incredible opportunity.


Google and Facebook are part of the military surveillance complex, it's as simple as that. They are privatized surveillance companies who serve the US government.

It should be considered enemy soil for anyone who believes in privacy and freedom.


This is ridiculous. They're not part of a conspiracy. They're businesses that sometimes have a strategic advantage for the government, for which the government requires a legal precedent to access. That is all. Stop with the dramatic hyperbole.


Jonathan, thanks for being a great example of activism and an inspiration to me and I'm sure others as well :)


Thanks, score! I always believe that I can make a difference, and that we all can. It's just a matter of taking a bunch of your time, putting yourself out there, and doing it.

I write my own copy, but then again, I'm a copywriter by trade.

1-855-ZEN-MAIL: http://1855zenmail.com and 1-855-SEO-LAND: http://1855seoland.com are two that I just listed for sale on the Sell HN thread.

The challenge is to be able to communicate what your product or service is and does in one succinct sentence.

The best ones are almost like a suckerpunch, like this one: http://vowofnow.com


1-855-ZEN-MAIL: http://1855zenmail.com

1-855-SEO-LAND: http://1855seoland.com

With both businesses, the business name is the phone number and is also the website URL.

1-855-ZEN-MAIL currently has subscribers and a prospecting/lead gen strategy. They both come with pre-written sales scripts.


I'm not big on TL;DRs, but this post is screaming for one.
