IIRC only the blog front ends are on the blogspot.com domain. All user logins/blog admin etc are on the blogger.com domain (and no *.blogger.com domains). (not used their services for ages, so there might be more overlap than i remember)

Wifi is so much faster than most 3g connections for my phone. The only place I've seen my phones 3g connection being as 'instant' as wifi was in London. Also using 3g uses up a lot more battery than wifi. Also it could be handy for giving t

Crap captcha if it became popular... to easy to brute force. I know its for a chess site but it isn't even very user friendly

It probably takes longer to have to wash/dry 'only a handful of tshirts and jeans' very often than it does to have a whole wardrobe full and take (literally) an extra few seconds deciding what to wear every day

they are diversifying a bit, such as with the bad piggies ( https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/bad-piggies/id533451786?mt=8 ) which was pretty popular when it came out (probably still is)

seems that some urls with a query string give an error eg make a purl for http://www.reddit.com/top/?sort=top&t=hour which generates http://purl.ly/www.reddit.com/top/?sort=top&t=hour which gives a 404
