OK so it's been pointed out to me that HTML5 didn't deprecate target=_blank like I thought. It was just XHTML that removed it, and my method uses HTML5 'data-' attributes. So it's pretty irrelevant, just carry on using target=_blank I guess

I know your comment was all in dollars and this is probably generally an American topic. But regarding number 2, in England a student loan is the lowest interest loan you will likely ever get, so it's naive to pay it off in bulk; you might

True, and true. The main issue with caching WordPress is that WordPress itself is very dynamic and full of cookies, WordPress has plenty of caching plugins available but as I point out, that wont help you against Apache spawning tens of pro

WordPress is very cookie heavy. I don't think Varnish OTB would work in front of it. Sure you might be able to configure it to work, but that's probably more effort than just tweaking a few lines of Apache.

Agreed, nginx is nice (I'm using it to serve static content on my blog in front of Apache). But nginx requires additional setup with WordPress to get it working properly, in particular mod_rewrite rules (especially if you then use WP Super

Good, the extension I was using in Chrome had a tendency to be a bit buggy.

For the record they don't send reset links, they send you a new generated password for you to log in and change.

You can obtain one time keys via Twitter's own website for your app, then you just need to sign your requests, which isn't too bad (there are libraries for most languages).

Too much of this and we will see apps that are based on the lowest common denominator of all platforms. Developers will get lazy and you will get iOS apps that don't do anything when you rotate the screen, have tiny icons/graphics. Desktop

This is correct. Once clients adopt it (we do, at Twitterfall), this will in some ways improve how informative URLs are, as each tweet object will contain the actual URL the t.co link points to in the metadata, allowing clients to display t

Twitterfall.com is mostly run off a dedicated server from Rapidswitch (one of their base specs I think), though we also have a couple of VPSes from before we had the dedi. One from xeneurope.co.uk and one from Gandi. Both are reasonable. Ra

Twitterfall does actually use multiple keywords when they are specified by Twitter. If you check search.twitter.com and check the queries it performs when you click on a trend - those same queries are being performed by Twitterfall.
