Thinking of hacking together a twitter archiver, for those who want to keep a record of their tweets past the limit Twitter itself currently offers. Will allow export in csv etc., and possibly printing off your tweets as a diary-style book,

A pretty nice idea, and I'm impressed... but damn, it could look a bit prettier.

Feedback on the site itself: pages like http://www.cloudfireit.com/pricing.html have the details -only- in the image (and no alt text). This is hardly the most accessible way to deliver the information, as screen readers won't pick up any

It picked my location perfectly, but then gave me a temperature in Fahrenheit. All you need now is to match locations to measurement standards (ie. US, UK and that one other country imperial, all others metric).

http://etsy.com has a category for clothing. I'm not sure of your definition of "indie fashion designers", but since you mentioned difficulty in finding them, that might be a good place to look for new users/contributors.

Agreed. Look at the FB application platform. A year ago everybody had an app in development. Now it's a ghost town (comparatively), and everybody has an iPhone app in development. In a year, something else will be the focus of the web hype

I recently quite my day job to be a consultant/freelancer in order to do similar things to what you describe. I spend the majority of my time working for clients, still, but I get to charge a lot more than as an employee, which means if I k

Not to offend, but that logo is simply terrible. It looks... cheap.

Great design, easily one of the best I've seen on a 'rate my startup' here. Browsing is also easy to use and simple to understand. I filtered down to PC games > less than $10 and got no results, but figured out within a few seconds how

I don't know if this is a geek thing or something the average user would do, but I'd really like to see more, full-sized screenshots of the app before I sign up. Not being able to see more of it means I'm more inclined to click away from th

Although I've used the term myself, I'm coming around to the point of view that there won't be any "web 3.0" that is "about" any one thing. OpenID/data portability, semantics, the mobile web... there are too many developments that could "be
