I haven't tested it out personally, but Prefinery might fit the bill: http://www.prefinery.com/ I think their free plan accommodates 50 testers. You could also set up a private forum which would allow you to post new versions and allow be

Cuil has one of the best privacy policies on the web, at least from a readability standpoint: http://www.cuil.com/info/privacy/ Using plain English (not legalese) and keeping things short and to the point seems to be an effective way of m

Zuck wearing a tie? What's going on...? I was led to believe he only wears t-shirts and sandals at all times.

I would second this. Some of the features look really intriguing -- like the uptime graphs and the global visualization -- but I want more info -- like how often my site is pinged and from how many different locations.

"Newspapers never systematically reviewed school-teachers, for example, and now they’ve been scooped by the angry third-grade muckrakers who post at RateMyTeacher.com." Wait, what? I had to stop reading here. Someone else please finish a

That logic doesn't seem very, er, logical to me. The post is basically a bunch of quotes about Apple a netbooks. Some saying they should have one because an Apple netbook would be cool (it probably would be), some saying not having a netboo

It does now. I posted just before Compete released their September data... so I was looking at August. Seems I jumped the gun a bit. ;)

Just to update my comment -- seems I posted a few hours before Compete released Sept. data. And now indeed Posterous has surged past FriendFeed. I stand corrected. ;)

Because some of the URLs were multiple lines long, and I didn't realize that HN would auto truncate. Just wanted to save any horizontal scrolling. ;)

Other data disagrees: http://bit.ly/17pcJw (Compete) http://bit.ly/3lGxXl (Alexa) http://bit.ly/Gmk08 (Quantcast) All show FriendFeed growing and only Quantcast shows Posterous as larger (and a lot larger -- and for months now). Quan

This sort of article always struck me as silly. Is it really that surprising that not all developers on the iPhone are wildly successful? Or even that most aren't? Welcome to capitalism -- not everyone will be rich. Not all developers on

No. Facebook messaging is like email... and if you get a lot of messages, subjects can be helpful. The comparison to Twitter doesn't really make sense. It is Facebook status that is like Twitter (and has no subject requirement). Facebook's

"YC succeeds because it has very high calibre people leading it, not because it has a specific "algorithm" that others can copy." Why are you assuming the "algorithm" just includes the finance bits? It also includes the people involved (me

Not loading for me either... so not sure what it's really about. But if the headline is any indication, it seems like sort of a strange sentiment. Didn't TechStars Boston just have their first demo day recently? And isn't Venture Cafe se

That was my thought exactly. The axiom reads: you get what you pay for. But in this case, I think more accurately it should be: you get what you ask for. Nothing in the way the "client" conducted himself (or themselves) indicated that the

They basically have. It's called bit.ly (which is the official/default URL shortener and whose servers are housed in Twitter's data center). For all intents and purposes, Bit.ly is Twitter's own URL shortener. But not every Twitter client

Of course you don't have to be, but what if you want to be? You don't have to go to Hollywood with the goal of being the next Tom Cruise or Will Smith or Angelina Jolie... you could act in obscurity anywhere, pleasing a core group of fans

That sounds like http://whoissick.org/sickness/ with Facebook Connect. That site has been around for awhile, and I think the biggest problem is sick people don't generally feel like going online and contributing open data projects. The g

Should this really be solely a question of economics? That seems like a rather inhuman way to approach the issue. I know I'd personally rather spend more and not get cancer (as long as the tests aren't so invasive and unpleasant that they

This can be a double edged sword, though. You don't want to reward your top users in a way that alienates your news users. That is, you don't want to accidentally create a class system where top users are given enviable privileges that new

I don't think I get it. Maybe I'm unique, but I would never apply for a job if I didn't know where I was applying. I want to know a lot about the company before I even consider taking the time to apply for the job. Why waste my time only

Except that Michelle Malkin and LiberalOasis aren't sources of news -- they're commentary. And the editorial pages of traditional papers are very clearly biased in one direction or another, and that bias is obvious to anyone who reads them

I was really excited when I saw this headline stream by on my HN RSS feed. That pricing gives me pause as well, but only slightly. What really matters to me is how the licensing is handled. I.e., as long as I own full rights and can pull m
