		<description><![CDATA[Joyent, would you please write a post giving PROs/CONs to Accelerators over EC2.  Pleeeeeeeeeease.

	I love you guys but with now Amazon offering a support contract for EC2, persistent storage, static IPs, an API to dynamically scale my web app &#8230; and overall better pricing, I simply don&#8217;t know how to say &#8220;no&#8221; to Amazon.

	Thanks in advance]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[These aren&#8217;t exactly keys to, um, virility, but:

	#4: Don&#8217;t force your users to invite 20 of their friends before they get to use the full functionality of your app.

	#5: Make your newsfeed links actually &lt;em&gt;do&lt;/em&gt; the action that you say they are going to do. For example, if Top Friends displays a link in a news feed that says &#8220;Click here to see your drink&#8221;, that link should &#8211; duh &#8211; take me directly to a page that shows my drink &#8211; &lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt; the Top Friends main page showing all my friends and not a drink in sight. I&#8217;m amazed at how many apps get this wrong; they word their newsfeed links with specific imperative promises and then totally fail to deliver.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For FB app on Joyent to be successful, it would also help if we had:

	* An API for Accelerators where I can auto-start/stop Accelerators and get billed solely for the time I use. (Which also then means we need a pay to upload our configured VM image)

	* A drastically improved administrative interface. Face it guys, unless you are already a UNIX admin – you won’t the current web admin interface and how to use it.

	* Reduced prices for the amount of RAM given. (The bandwidth you guys give is nice, but seriously – the vast majority of people only need a small fraction of what you give … to giving even more bandwidth does make me feel better for paying double what others charge for the same amount of RAM/CPU)]]></description>
