Maybe push the "shared pins" aspect? Let friends post up local restaurants they like, and then show which of your friends have been there recently, etc. The social aspects is something Latitude is missing. Something like Latitude-meets-Four

My fremont-based sites are all online and working fine. I can't get to their blog though.

I don't know what it is about these clips, but they're so much more watchable than the real news clips on TV. I'd happily replace all our prime-time news with these videos!

You're absolutely correct. I'd do a screencast and try and push the word out more, but to be honest I feel "burned" by Google for scrapping it. When the Apache version comes out, i'll definitely be spreading the word (if it's as good as Wav

I spent a lot of my time on Wave spreading the word to colleagues and friends, and had a lot of them using it daily as well. I even had my work (large government agency) considering a dedicated Wave server after telling them it will be poss

I used it in replacement of Google Docs, instead of alongside it. Of course sometimes I had Google Docs I needed to reference, so i'd link them or embed them, but for the most part I did my writing of documents directly into Wave. I work ve

Very disappointed it's US only (but used to it lately, being Australian). I'm a heavy Google services user for work & personal (as i'm sure most people here are), and I start commuting 2hrs each way to work in a month, so something like

I had (varying) success mostly by selling sponsor spots. It let me (crudely) target the ads depending what that issue of the newsletter was discussing.

I used it extensively from the early-invite I got through to when they announced it was being scrapped. It was invaluable to me, and I was really upset that it might be going away (and subsequently am really happy now Apache has taken it up

As someone who used Wave intensely (all day, nearly every day) from the day I got my invite, until the day they announced it was going to die, I couldn't be happier about this. Wave was invaluable to my daily business processes, working wit

This also doesn't get rid of Flash Cookies / LSO's. The wiping of LSO's badly needs to be part of standard browser functionality. When I click "Clear All History & Cookies" it should actually clear ALL history and cookies... not all loc

That was my first thought. A widget showing a random headline from your unread articles would be awesome. Sort've like the RSS widget.

Nope, not US only. For Google Apps I always put: pub:"Google Inc." ... as the search term. Then you get a list of official Google Apps. It helps you find their apps that sometimes get lost among all the spam-apps using their keywords. (I'm

It's the "demonstrable years of experience" that gets me. Anyone with years of experience with front end shouldn't need to be taking an intern job. Isn't the point of an intern job to be for people fresh out of school and trying to build up

I'm very excited to see how this pans out. Even though i'm not a country they're going to support, if they do well it will set a good precedent and maybe we can finally see banking stirred up a bit. Banks are my most hated companies as a wh

That, and the affiliate links. I share the same love/hate relationship with PayPal but the referrer links made the entire article stink of blogspam to me (even though I understand that wasn't the intention, it still "felt" like it to me).

I wear a watch daily, and own a fair few. For me they're about 50% fashion and 50% function (as I don't carry my mobile phone when not on-call for work, to get away from it all). I was also an early backer for this iPod watch band. It's som

I'm a big Forrst fan, thanks for the site! It has become my new place to go for inspiration/motivation when I need it. Now when do we find out what Acorns are for? ;)

Why not? If every person who seemed to be talking to themselves were time travellers, you'd think we'd know.

It seems to me like it would work for very specific ad-types. Eg coupons, upcoming sales, promotional offers, etc. The thing is, 99% of internet ads are NOT this type of ad, but are instead a generic click-through to a site or service, in w

Something like StackOverflow or HN is pretty much how I was thinking it would work, although with less emphasis on the voting. Voting would still be there, as a "quality score" of the article, but it would be time-based listings so it's sti

For a long time, i've been wanting a news site that PURELY states facts about things that happened... with absolutely no author opinion or anything else cluttering it. Yes, a lot of people might find it boring, but I also think there's a la

This pretty much says word-for-word what I wanted to post. I find the existing HN design to be one of the easiest-to-read news sites around. There's absolutely no clutter, no "design getting in the way of content", and the way the meta data

I've been seeing a bunch of "redesigns" of HN over the last few days, and none of them seem to acknowledge/realise that HN has pretty much nailed it's core purpose in the current design. Sure it's not "shiny" or "pretty" but the accentuatio

I'm a late joiner into the Minecraft obsession, having only downloaded it last week. I can honestly say it's one of the most fun games i've played in a long time. I'm not your average "gamer", but i'm a sucker for anything puzzle related, a
