Only that, monetizing a search engine with other search engines' ad products would be a bit funny.

That, plus their readers do not seem to be interested in karma and point games.

Reddit for Independent(a UK newspaper) does not seem to work: http://reddit.independent.co.uk/ Maybe there's not a market for their platform.

Follower and followee counts seem to be back. Anyone seeing lost legitimate follows?

Good lord, how would twitter recover from that? Possibly by undoing follow's between the moment this bug has surfaced and the moment they suspend following. Meanwhile they'll loose a huge number of legitimate follow request. Terrible stuff.

I am not a native English speaker, I might not get the feel of your domain name right. Having the word bubble in your name doesn't really convey trust to me. Do native speakers feel the same?

See what patio11 writes on his blog. If you manage to bring your interesting stuff to half of the level his Bingo Cards business is, you'll have your traction, proven bussiness or whatever you feel you don't have.

No, not really. What I had in mind was questions like: what's your average length of headers? what's your average number of lines per paragraph? How many paragraphs do you have per page? How many columns do you have per page? And then t

I had a couple of job offers from companies in Glasgow in the past. I had a feeling that the local goverment must be subsidizing the tech companies in Scotland. The pay package was comparable to London. Cost of living looked a lot less comp

You are right, I meant to write Tier 1.

England is not the preferred nomenclature. UK is your best bet; size of industry, proximity to continental Europe, ties with US and all... Depending on your age, income and/or ancestary, you can make use of Tier 2, Tier 5 or ancestary visas

Choose a cheaper place on the commuter belt and your income will go a longer way. For instance Woking is 30 mins to London by train, but is a lot cheaper than London. You can get a flat for around about £700 pcm bills and council tax includ

Duck Duck Go is all fine in English search queries but it is less impressive for languages other than English. If a word in the query happens to be a word in English, you get results in English scattered around. Here's an example, I searche

It was a tounge in cheek comment really. This move will definitely give you some leverage with a very vocal crowd who has concerns over privacy. I really would like to see more search engines around. I am just tired of big G's de facto mono

Am I being cynical with noticing that this comes right after your brand awareness post?

All of which had an industrial base before communism. Poland through Prussia, Hungary and Czech through AustroHungarian Empire. Those that suffered most from the pill were countries with the more agricaltural backgrounds.

Here's what you can do: draw an image using GD, I don't know if you have GD in Ruby. PHP has it, I am sure you can hack a little script for that. Feed the generated image the photo frame and Bob's your uncle.

I wasn't aware that it was an Ancient Egyptian artifact. And the trademark was actually Rosatta Stone as errnatX stated. Nonetheless, if it reminds me another, possibly direct competitor of yours, it can't be a good think, can it?

Rosetta is a trademark and they might come after you if you managed to get this off ground. Just a word of warning...

reddit?

Don't put a fixed price, allow users to pay what the site's worth to them. You can go freemium route. Providing SMS and/or e-mail based reminder service to your paying customers only springs to mind.

Doesn't look faster than the regular surfer. Actually he looks slower. Is it because he's stuggling to balance the board?

No, because Android have a fundemental business model problem. OS supplies by one company, product designed by the manufacturer goes only so far. One size does not fit all. Apple has demonstrated the value in having top down owneship of a p

Well, if I want to show multiple landmarks, you still lose me to Google Maps + any URL shortner combo, don't you? You probably can't beat Google maps on simplicity without comprimising functionality. I would just accept that and copy what G

Nice idea to begin with...I guess you can creare short URL's for trips, multiple landmarks, etc... Why do you associate this with Twitter though? Twitter is not the only site that shortners are used.

Thanks for that. I checked them on bing, the UI does not do their product justice. It look like yet another cluttered travel web site. Another thought, how hard is it for a travel website that I use frequently to infer that I am from London
