Thanks! It's not lightweight -- the average script include I have right now is around 280k. I'm going to be able to reduce it in the next few months to around 150k, I believe. Once downloaded, the processing of it itself is not

It's extra work, but is more contextual. You could, for instance, link to wikipedia articles, imdb articles (for actors) etc. and not just link to ad content. Really what it does is help define what is inside an image.

I built what I believe to be the most sane way to "advertise" something: Let people buy directly from an image. This solves the problem of people not interested in the content, because of its unobtrusive nature -- if they don&#x

The vast majority of advertising is very active advertising that is designed to draw your eye to something. The difference between us and them is that this only does something when you interact with the image (hovering your mouse over it).

Would love to test advertisers -- do they/you have a publisher available to test it on that makes sense? It could be a blog site that shows images about their products, or even their own home page linking to products within their cata

You, my friend, are spot-on with this. It's a part of the long-term plan of PLEENQ, but requires enough market penetration to make sense.

I actually have multiple interactions that I'm experimenting with, and the website owner chooses what interaction fits with their site design. One of them is where the mobile user taps on the image, and all of the object highlights pop

The interaction is dependent on the website's settings, but one of the available options (which is the default) is to show a popup that lets you know what you're navigating to, such as on http://girlpowder.net/ --

What would you like to see it do? I've been thinking of tons of different ways of displaying that to a user, but I figured I'd just put it out there and see what people suggested.

Absolutely. That classification markings are there because the subject matter has an overall classification, but doesn't actually confer any legitimacy to the content.

I tried to do an AMA yesterday[1] about my time in the NSA and the CIA that fell flat as far as generating any interest. My main goal was to bring some reality to the security conversation, since the government's voice mostly remains

Another counterpoint to this is a world that exists despite almost no one playing it: Clanlord[1]. I started playing this game during its beta test when I was 16(I'm 32 now) where there were as many as 200 players on a single server.

This reminds me of when I was in the Navy -- at one point I had lived with hundreds of other guys in a ship's berthing and at another duty station I mentioned to a coworker that I could determine someone's race from their sweat.
