DISQUS

This is not the real way to bookmark. Facebook has stated earlier today in the forums that they are in the process of rolling out the new way and haven't yet done so. The changes will go live "very very soon" but they apologized for the inconvenience and confusion at the moment.

Andrew,

You might have failed at making Mixergy into the evite site you originally envisioned but you haven't failed as an entrepreneur. Most successful businesses and entrepreneurs change what they originally set out to do many times before finding success.

You clearly have a success with Mixergy and make a strong impact on many peoples' lives. You have created something that has helped filled a void that was once an endless black hole in the Southern California Tech scene. Your events and forums are changing the way and how business happens here.

I have no doubt that with a little thought and focus, which clearly this post is a stepping stone in, you'll find the right direction to turn Mixergy into the whopping success that I know you as a true entrepreneur strive for. I can only wait to see the results and am glad to have been able to bear witness to your wild ride to the top. Like many of the successful entrepreneurs you interview on your blog here, I'm sure we will be watching similar videos of you one day and remembering this epiphany you had. How this realization helped you find your way to success.

After all, that's why we founded Launch 10. Fail fast, and find your niche.

Best wishes to you, Mixergy, and your future endeavors.

They've been testing that persistent connection live for almost two weeks now. If you use a JavaScript debugger like Firebug it starts to consume a lot of resources. That's what made me first notice it. Chat is definitely due any day now, but unfortunately this is no indicator of an imminent launch since it's been live for a couple weeks now.

Absolutely. Still plenty of opportunity, but you will have to create a very good application, or have a large marketing budget.

This has obvious downsides, but there are some upsides too. For example, these changes will be an economic stimulant for the Facebook economy. Expect prices of ads to go up as inventory decreases and demand increases. This is good news to those developers who can capture and retain an audience.
