This is super exciting for anyone who has wanted to hack on hardware but always got hung up on stuff like getting wifi shields, hooking batteries, etc. before even getting to coding. I'm getting one of the beta units (I've known one of the

When you think about all the setup, SysAdmin stuff, backups, scaling, etc you'll avoid, $200 a month ($2.4k) is pretty cheap to be able to just switch a scalable db on at a moments notice.

Thanks gnok! Indeed, an RSS feed would be cool. In the queue ;) The reverse is solved by Instapaper or ReadItLater. This is the reverse of those apps :)

I've thought about it, but bookmarklets on the iPhone (not sure about android) is exceedingly annoying. Marco Arment (Instapaper founder) wrote about his experience here: http://www.marco.org/2010/10/10/an-open-enhancement-request-...

It just queues up on the website, and thus no magic :(

If you keep the webpage open (extension to come), it'll open the link that you sent to the service. It'll be there waiting for you when you get back to your computer See my reply to derek

There is! (if I understand correctly) It's hacky, but if you keep the webpage open, any links you send from your mobile will "push" (technically, it pulls) to your browser!

Have you used the app? It a terrible first experience. I used it last night and had no one around me. In New York City. During dinner time. Most people probably open the app, don't get it / don't see people on it, and never open the app aga

While I do think that $41mm is crazy, I agree with unohoo. If they're getting that much money from Sequoia, you can sure as hell bet they're not investing in "just another photo sharing app". Part of $41mm is because of the team, but I'm be

While I agree that the privacy of this feels a little weird, it's always opt in, just like 4sq is opt in. If you don't intend your photos to show up at a location, don't take photos on Color.

I think it was less about speed and more about trying to replace peoples' editor / workflow. People are very particular about the tools they use and putting the editor and deployment in the browser doesn't do much in terms of productivity (

A couple of friends and I created an app during the foursquare hack day that sends you an email of what you were doing a year ago. A nice little hack to remind you where you were. Part nostalgic, part discovery (blackout nights), totally aw

Have you ever gotten a bad reaction from these emails? Presumably the user had just expressed that they don't want anymore emails and they're getting another one :)

I started off being uncomfortable that I was using Chrome more and more. But it is a lot of little things that make it better. I'm on the dev channel, and some things might break, but having quick patches and updates is awesome. Three thing
