You should check out Geckoboard. It is pretty much exactly what you described. It is also free, so you can spend that $5 on an extra coffee every month :)

I don't think thats the point. The point is they are scraping content without seeking approval.

100TB a month = ~300mbps of constant use. The Unmetered upgrade means that you could saturate the full 1gbps for the entire month.

Facebook engineering have been posting some really interesting information in the last few weeks. I've always wondered how Facebook manages backups for their MySQL data. It never occurred to me that they might be using Hadoop. Kind of unrel

I hope they eventually build in the ability to do location based DNS load balancing. For me that would be a killer feature.

Does this at all apply to a service hosted in the US but owned/operated from Australia? I wonder if there is a separate organisation we would need to register with here.

This article is from March 2009. I haven't heard of a single fine being issued for this. As a side note the internet filter mentioned in the article never received enough votes and the government minister in charge of the program conceded t

This would be a great part of a beer company advertising campaign. Great idea :)

You might have some luck selling your domains at http://sedo.com or http://flippa.com . For things like site designs and old code I would take a look at the marketplace section of the Digitalpoint forums or maybe even http://themeforest

StackOverflow is a Quantcast Quantified site. This means it's traffic is directly measured with a tracking pixel on each of Stackoverflow's pages.

I checked to see if this domain was available 3 weeks ago! Small world. I hope you can come up with a great idea for the domain.

I'm currently using Cloudkick's 1 server developer plan. I would really love to use them to monitor all of our servers but their current plans don't work for us. We use lots of tiny instances and virtual machines. This means for us the cost

I didn't notice the more results at first glance and I doubt many other people would have either. I would suggest expanding the box to show all the users saved results for that search. If you are committed to keeping it limited to 3 results

It took me 60 seconds or so of blind clicking around before I even realised what the site did, and this was after reading the description on this post. Maybe include some information on the front page describing how the service works. If yo

I can't seem to add more than 3 bookmarks. Also you should have a short url that I can tweet/email to someone else that will load up the bookmarks I saved. This would be helpful if I was trying to help someone find information.

I would look into a referral program. Offer your existing clients $50 - $100 for every new member they refer. To take it one step further approach popular photography blogs and offer them the referral deal. Most of the large camera / photog

What happens if that Linode instance goes down? With Amazon you pay 15cents a GB but you get a lot more reliability for your money.

Thanks for the numbers they are very helpful. Probably <500 cache hits per second (a large portion of the content isn't cacheable). So I should be able to serve that from a fairly low spec machine.

This might be slightly off topic but if you don't mind could you share the specs of your Varnish server? Everything I have read about Varnish says that it will run extremely well on pretty much any decent hardware. But I am still unsure how

Great to see cool things like this coming out of Australia! I'll use it during the GF and report back on how I liked it.

I refreshed the article twice before I realised the image was intentionally made to look half loaded. A subtle dig at AOL no doubt :)

Yep you're right. Sorry only had a really quick look at the Roundcube page.

I can't think of any webmail packages that will read the data directly from MySQL. You could use Google Apps for your day to day email use and then use IMAP to grab a copy of the mail and store that in MySQL? If you don't want to go the Goo

I recently took a month off from Facebook. I would say that 95% of communication (excluding face to face) between people I know is conducted over Facebook. In addition to that all events are organised through Facebook, if I didn't have an a

It's loading correctly for me. Are you sure it's not an issue with your DNS server?

Use whatever language you are most familiar with. If you have all the features laid out you should start building a prototype of the service. Seeing the basic features start to come together is great inspiration to keep building and improvi

I think asking the user for credit card details before the trial is just one more barrier preventing them from signing up. I can fill out a basic signup form in about 30 seconds, if it requires my credit card details it will take me a few e

This is exactly the kind of program I was looking for a few months ago when I first started doing all of my development on my Mac. Looking forward to testing this out. Any idea of when you will be ready to release the beta?
