I am totally excited (it's a mixed feeling), but this doesn't exactly fulfil my end goal for the project: let me fiddle with my own facebook data. It's pretty good inspiration though.

Yeah, I bet that's a difficult problem. It would be pretty cool to see how WA implemented this, unfortunately they don't say. I did get a good perspective of how useful this kinda of service is and how much people are interested in it, wher

Yeah, it's good to know that you are at least keeping up with the exciting ideas. Better than being completely surprised by it. It's also nice to get some perspective on how other people think about the topic.

by ninetax 14y ago
I'm sure. I would like it to be more of an open platform for Facebook data, and focus more on friends. Plus it should be local instead of trusting other with all your data.

Thanks! There are definitely some features missing here that I would love to see. I'll keep working on it!

by ninetax 14y ago
Yeah, even though they are your "competition" they have to most in common with you in terms of interests.

by ninetax 14y ago
I agree. As exciting as this looks, I really don't want to give away every permission to WA. Who knowns what there going to do with it. I would like this kind of analysis to be local, thanks for the support!

Thanks, I definitely feel that way too, plus they totally missed some things here which are pretty important to me like privacy, more friend analysis, openness as a platform and predictive models.

Do you know that feeling when a project/idea you have been working on a long time gets implemented almost exactly as you imagined it, only by someone else? Well I do now. I'm not sure if I should be excited, or listen to the sick feeling in

Pretty awesome concept! Could each of the objects hold there annotations locally, and let other objects query them? Or would there have to be be a central server?

And even if it is just as easy, or easier, to set up as facebook or twitter, it still might fail because of the user and the egg problem. As much as I would love to use and have a network like this, until all the people I keep in touch with

I have also thought about this idea that users of a social network could keep all their data and just let different clients (Facebook, Twitter) access it. I think it would be a great idea! If I want to change my email address? Change it in

Yeah that's what I was thinking. Thanks!

I have been playing with the relative numbering all afternoon. I love having all my lines indexed, but it's hard to hit any number above 5 or 6 with my right hand because it's about to hit j or k. I wish it could be indexed with a combinati

Sorry, for clarification, do you mean get rid of users who have a high submission/comment ratio, or low?

Well for a quick sum up: An array is like a constant pointer, it's always pointing at the first element of the the array. To try to point it at something else is an error. array[2] is short for *(array + 2*sizeof(<type o

This is really an excellent book. I feel like this book was the pivotal thing that really let me see how the small amount of programming I knew could be so much more with the practices preached in that book. It took me from "OK I get how to

The messaging back-end is probably completely decoupled from the stuff running other components of the site. I would imagine everything interfaces with each other, and as long as you don't break the interface, things could be changed pretty

I think the reason this is at the top of HN is that people want to talk about app.net and, though it may be lacking in substance, the OP brings up an interesting point of view. A lot of people feel very deeply about some of the ideas around

I'm not sure if app.net will even begin to live up to the expectations of it's users and spectators, but maybe this is a discussion about how we would like to see services behave in the future. We can show people that respect for personal d

It's all about profit. That is, when the transactions are all said and done (whether the user paid for the service, or the advertisers have bought their advertisements) how much good will is left over? How much good feeling does each party

Whoops, my cursory googling turned up a band's album on wikipedia, not the page of the phrase.

This is such a great piece of writing. Tongue in chic at every turn, but it really washes over me when he talks about the art. It makes me remember that computer science is less about computers than astronomy is about telescopes.

Thanks for submitting this!

I agree, I often check on work machine, phone, and home machine. I can't rely on those grayed out links anymore...

But what if everybody did that? How would any story get more than 1 vote? Somebody has to dig through the garbage to get the good stuff right?

OK, I understand a bit better now. I do like the idea that I am the customer, not the product and that my data is mine to do with what I please, not something I give away freely. I guess my only quibble about App.net is that I've never pers

Thanks for the article! I love to see this type of stuff on HN. It's so interesting how we think of cost in a computer vs what really costs us in human time.
