They alredy extract the most popular posts http://www.tumblr.com/popular/top I'm sure they have no problems to know which blog is the most popular (page views, number of "reblogs"...)

Very clean and polished site, well done. It would be great to be able to see the full name of the stock, currency and last update time.

Yahoo stock alert only works on U.S., Canadian, and Australian markets. Yours seems to work on european markets.

Well that's very misleading, even Wikipedia thinks that : " Google confirmed that the RLZ tracking token [...] [is] not in versions of Chrome downloaded from the Google website directly or in any versions of Chromium." http://en.wikipedia.

Agreed that this is not a reliable number, they also say 2M businesses and not the detail of end users. But what I meant to say is that they do have other sources of revenue outside of ads that are not negligible.

I wouldn't say they have not managed to make money on anything except ads. For example, you have to pay for Google Apps for business and they say they have more than 2M customers. At 50$ per year per users, that's not negligible.

Reminds me of a blog post from J. Fried : http://37signals.com/svn/posts/1555-learning-from-failure-is... I couldn't disagree more with what Fried has to say, which surprised me because it doesn't happen very often, this interview express

Took me a while to understand the concept because of this confusing title. I first thought those buses would move the cars around, like giant ferrys.

Not that I disagree with the benefits of a long walk but driving in a car really helps in my opinion because of the white noise ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_noise#Applications ), general silence with closed windows and change of sce

Yes auto repair is a big problem for me and for a lot of other people too I guess. Just last week the garage that took my car misdiagnosed the problem and charged me much more than necessary. Usually I try to get a grasp of what the problem

You could even get a G4 at 499€ in 2005 There's been a steady increase in the price of the Mini, unlike the Macbook. You had an iBook G4 for 999€ just like you can have a Macbook now for 999€. The Mac Mini went from 499€ to 799€. The Mac Mi

It looks really nice, I wonder how well it handles the overheating with its smaller size. No SSD ? No intel I3/I5 ? That's disapointing.

Well I genuinely think that it must be a difficult decision to leave years of personal work behind, the decision making on your own project and the potential of an higher bid. But that's just my personal perspective, a more rational point o

In this article in really sounds like Catherina Fake regrets her decision of selling Flickr. It must be a very hard decision : accept 40 M$ or keep growing very personal work. What I found interesing is that she underlines the fact that Fli

I'm pretty amazed that he gets his own TV show thanks to Twitter. He found one of the few useful use cases of Twitter. He also did a "Ask me anything" on reddit http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/9pqjl/i_am_justin_from... I'm still won

I don't get it. The explanation is confusing to me, on the one side they say they don't rely on the browser as they used to : and the browser takes care of letting the user edit that text and yet they talk about the new GDocs entirely in

Animal communication is definitely very complex. They all have their own language and it's often not just oral. I've read an interesting theory that cats meow a lot at us humans because they see that we don't perceive their body language we

Yes it depends on the way you handle the response of the CRC, you could say "give me the data I don't care" or "please try to read it again it's wrong". In my opinion that is just the proof that it's not as simple as "it just works or not"
