    The second I saw this title I started thinking the same things as all these comments are listing. Maybe someone should write this up as a context-menu addition for Firefox. Just put it under "Add a Keyword for this Search..." Use something

    I found the thoughts for the second question, "Should I launch a private beta?" to be more useful. I've been going back and forth over doing a private beta. I don't think that a hard limit for the initial userbase is always the right answer

    The book titles mentioned in the article seem to be really facts oriented. The act of listing facts is the easiest part of writing anything, in my opinion. I would like to see a machine that could put something together like an Isaacson's b

    I'm working in a research assistant position at my college and spend a fair bit of time wandering the campus. I know it pretty well, I've been here for 6 years ;) but it's nice to just see random people. Also, getting on our bus line and ri
