The only high volume ones are AskMetafilter and thesimpledollar. Right now I just skim the headlines/summaries and only look at the most interesting ones. I'm seriously considering dropping them though.

If nothing else, it's a chance to test the adage (mantra?) "There's no niche too small".

We had probably tried 10 ideas before that and they all failed miserably. Would you tell us about how this went down? Particularly how you decided it was time to toss the idea to the side and try something else?

So, if I understand you correctly, you treat this as a binary and not as a quantity. if total_value_end_of_day > total_value_start_of_day then productive else NOT productive Do I have that right?

It's a shame they couldn't capture him. "Shot in the head while resisting" is very inconvenient for those of us who wanted to be sure he faced justice. Personally, I think it probably went down more or less as reported. Namely that he was

Downvoted. I read your comment as condescending and I strongly disagree with your advice for the OP to complete the app before asking for feedback.

You need to ween yourself off your social proof addiction I think you are making an unwarranted assumption about the OP. The OP, like me, gained a great deal of value from knowing the vote counts of comments. In much the same way I

Two ways the changes have impacted my browsing: 1) Removing "by" at the start of each comment stops me from trivially finding every other comment by the same poster in a given thread. Searching for just the name adds noise to the results.

I believe that radicals are the most influential when they contrast against (and serve as a warning about ignoring) the moderates. Imho, the problem the FSF has is that they don't have a MLK to Stallman's Malcolm X. Eben Moglen? maybe? Is

How do you backup Google Documents? Can any of the popular backup utilities do that for you as part of your whole-company backup plan? That would be pretty cool. I know you can use pop (and maybe imap) to pull email out of GMail. but can
