And to make it even better (if you use OSX): Install GeekTool and use the shell "Geeklet" to affix the todo list permanently on your desktop background. You can adjust the font/size/transparency to make it as obnoxious a

afaik, LiveJournal (i.e., Brad Fitzpatrick) invented the follower/following pattern, except they just called it "friends of" & "friends". LJ was the direct inspiration for Twitter, at least according to this interview: http://latimesbl

Hey, I can conjure up random pithy quotes too: "The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, usually fail to do so." "The people who don't think they can change the world, sometimes do anyway." No idea how any of this

This is pointless and misleading. For example: #3 on the "top" list is Danger. According to crunchbase (where this site gets its data from) it was acquired for $500MM. And the founder went on to start Android. Why does it matter that danger
