It seems that your 2nd to last how it works image ('Turn leads into sales') implies that you're pulling The Federal Reserve out of a CNN article as an example of how the app works to generate one type of personalized email. Maybe you want a

I remember playing the old Hollywood Stock Exchange (non-cash version) back in middle school. This seems like a fun idea, but how do you rule out the heaps of insider information that exist?

Very cool project, but isn't this a yacht? I know the blog's headline is 'island' but I don't get it.

Draconian? Yes. But I don't see how anything in the article (or the source at the EFF) justifies the headline (and Maybe Your Soul). Of course it's meant to be hyperbolic, but I don't see how it is at all justified.

Love the idea. A mobile version would be killer. Some SEO suggestions. Turn your primary text into text. What are you: 'The ultimate fantasy sports assistant.' That should be your H1 text. All your subheaders should be H2s - or whatever, bu

It's a lot worse than 'setting the risk value of things they had no clue about.' It was, flat out, a conflict of interest: The AAA ratings given by the agencies proved to be wildly inaccurate and unreasonably high, according to the suit, w

I could be misinformed, but an hour ago I needed to update someone on some weekly stats who is out of the country. He told me to give him a summary as he can't open an XLS attachment on on his Blackberry (one of the new Bolds). If my iPhone

Breaking a story that someone else is sitting on is interesting - but it still requires (in the Lewinsky scenario) reporters doing actual investigations. Newsweek had the story. Drudge broke that they were sitting on the story. Drudge also
