I discovered Kippt through the front page of Bootstrap (it's one of the main thumbnails - I would say the best looking thumbnail - under "Built With Bootstrap"). Has that been a good source of users for you guys? Or not at all?

I took this to mean that there is only one term of use for Axis right now and it is this: if they ever get terms, those terms will be displayed in that rectangular box with the rounded corners. Everything else is fair game.

I often wonder how much of the controversy we read about here on HN is completely manufactured by some clever individuals. NOTE: I am not saying the Joshua-Gross-Next-Web-situation is obviously manufactured. I have no idea. I am saying cont

I thought this was an Onion headline at first. Though if it were, it would probably read: "Company CEO Unaware of Technology Sure to Make His Company Obsolete". Alas, it seems like Time Warner won't be obsolete very soon. We can only hope.

I love it. It sounds like a few people here have been thinking about a similar idea, and you can count me in as well. The truth is, my company would be happy to pay out 10% of any order if it resulted from a genuine recommendation. Of cours
