I would love to see all international suffixes included. And options for results weighting towards shorter names. Also - ajaxy - real-time search would be nice a la domai.nr. Nice work so far.

One option that I think hasn't been explored enough yet, and may be much more prevalent in the future, is micro-payment. Definitely the biggest initial barrier is the submission of payment info. But after that, I think that charging small a

Couldn't have said it better. The irony of the pre-eminenct, western-only centered historical-musical view surrounding a McFerrin melody is thick as molasses. It's West African in rhythm, choral response, scale and spirit.

Incredible pedagogical demonstration. Rapid learning via call-response, game-like interaction. Beautiful thing... web apps could gain some inspiration from this for UI teaching as well.

Speaking personally, beyond crashing, the UI itself still needs quite a lot more shaping and thinking through. It's very busy, and somewhat complex. It's not yet something that feels elegant in purpose. One challenge is how you blend realti

i don't know if you're just thinking of the landing page, or the cohesive, clean, overall UI that makes these services feel accessible. consider looking at people who have user experience expertise as well as design - some of what is making

+1 for doing it in person vs chat. much more impact to meet people as far as future connection. also - is it one single app being created or everyone teaming up in small groups or?

I think we have to remember that wave, the UI experience, is simply 1 application built using the new platform/protocol. To me it looks like, in large part, a proof of concept that gets the ball rolling for devs, more than a surefire new pr

Is there such a thing as execution without ideas ... about execution? A lot of the genius of a great tech is stuff that isn't really visible. I don't mean code, I mean subtle choices about how to create the experience that excites users, or

I have not had a chance to actually dig in and use in depth. But on first glance, I think you have a very useful and important concept here. This has very large upside. The 2 key strengths I see: 1) Providing a needed service to startups -

i do think cover letters are important, but would emphasize they should employ a less is more approach. just enough to show a "voice", a persona -- humanizing the interaction. perhaps pointing out 1 or 2 key things that might show in an und

Railcasts by Ryan Bates are phenomenal. http://railscasts.com/ I went through this book when I was learning Rails. I liked the fact that by the end, I had accomplished a bunch of things that I knew I would use again and again. http://www

For me the best combo is consulting and side project as opposed to day job. With contracts I can keep them to 20-30 hrs per week and then have substantial time and focus to work on my baby. And if I need 2 weeks or pure focus, I usually can

This is a near perfect example of an incremental improvement. Kind of reads one's mind about what would be ideal to add to css - and provides it in a completely intuitive implementation. Bravo.
