I'm currently sending emails to the first 50,000 addresses listed in the database dump via SendGrid. I only have 50,000 credits left for this month, but at least that many will get notified.

A bit more info on what exactly this "app maker" is/does would be quite helpful. The "about us" and "help" section of the site don't give much useful information. Given some more information, I'd be happy to sign up.

My uncle took his own life two years ago, and part of his "cry for help" period was him using Google to research suicide. After looking through his internet history, we found it was on more than just one occasion. I'd be willing to bet that

Agreed. The only spot I'm able to find that it mentions this prior to install is on the actual download page, just above the download button. I'd recommend they make that little blurb stand out a bit more. Nevertheless, I'm excited to try t

In a live demo of the buttons in Chrome those irregularities are not present. I think it might be a Safari thing? Either that or JPEG compression artifacts.

I agree, especially when I read this: "Cowboys stadium has an internal volume of approximately 104 cubic feet" Somebody left out a "million" somewhere.

When it comes to text selection, how often do people use it? I ask that in sincere curiosity. I know personally that I only select text once, maybe twice a week on my Palm Pre. Holding shift and dragging through the text works great for me

I know you're looking for more than proofreading feedback, but I just wanted to make you aware of a small typo on the main page. Just above the email input box, it says this text: "Get in our our beta service." I'm guessing you didn't delib

An update to this. I was able to get Netgear to reclassify the site, it should be accessible through all Netgear filters now. :)

Just as a heads up, www.stickybits.com is blocked by default in the NETGEAR UTM25. It is classified as a "pornograph/sexually explicit" web site. If any Stickybits people read this, you may want to bug them (Netgear) about clearing your nam

This seems to be a not too uncommon occurrence based on what I've seen via the site. I find it a bit discomforting that this happens at all.

I have to disagree with him here. I don't believe saving your money long-term is anything like saving sex for old age. One could argue that you need some form of monetary support for the rest of your life, securing your money is smart, ho

Thank you for this. I've a friend who passed away earlier this year and had been wondering if something like this existed.

Oh wow, thanks for sharing. :) As the last person stated, even though it is a hoax, there are still wonderful stories packed inside. I'd recommend it still to anyone.

Very neat stuff. Places like that have always fascinated me. I will never forget the website Kiddofspeed ( http://www.kiddofspeed.com/ ) that I stumbled upon a few years back. A woman travels through the Chernobyl area and documents it.

My problem with this is I think that many people will simply think it is some kind of malware or infected page and stop going to the site they found it on altogether.
