Newsletter 59 – A Holiday Letter from Your Friends at Dyn Inc.
Dear Friends,
We can’t believe it’s already that time of year again to share our life’s adventures with you. 2010 has been another year of fun, growth and goal smashing…
One of the most exciting things is how quickly our family has grown. We’ve rescued over 20 DNS enthusiasts from the streets of New England and have given them a new home where they will have the ability to flourish. While most have adapted quite well, the additions have made for some tight work spaces and much larger orders on Deli Tuesday — we’ve even run out of coffee a few times causing some mild (ok, mass) hysteria.

Mashable Exclusive: Increasing Clicks with A/B Testing
If you need a simple, inexpensive way to figure out what’s going to make your website’s users click on that big, red button, you’ve come to the right place.
A/B testing is one of the easiest ways to figure out whether one specific variable of your website is working. It could be a button color, a bit of web copy, an image — something extremely finite that may (or may not) have a measurable impact on desired actions, be they conversions or a simple click-through.

Mashable Exclusive: How 7 Startups Are Building Their Online Communities
By Jennifer Van Grove, Mashable
Community management is anything but a science. But, more and more startups are figuring out early on that defining what “community” means to their business, and then working to incorporate and respond to that community is an essential element in their growth and the maturation of their products.
What follows is an in-depth look at how seven startups at various stages of development are approaching community management. For some, the in-house Community Manager is a must. For others, it’s a bit of an all-hands-on-deck approach.

A few themes resonate throughout these examples: make users happy, listen to everything, incorporate community feedback into product development when appropriate, and stop fretting over the trolls. These may all sound like simple truths, but it’s the continual practice and adherence to these purist community ideals that make them complex.

Taking a business from idea to reality involves a good deal of attrition, ingenuity, and compromise. But no matter how much these three factors align in your favor, chances are you won’t get far unless you have some sort of funding.
Traditionally, you could get your hands on some capital by wooing the wealthy to support you, getting rich yourself, or persuading a venture capitalist that your idea has potential. But an increasingly available option is to enter a competition.
