Some thoughts: 1. I haven't looked but I bet there's already a WordPress plugin that counts feed download stats. Or just use tracking links (redirect with a counter) in your feed--lots of services (Budurl) do that if you're not a coder. 2.

Search is an easy problem once the hardware/bandwidth is cheap--they'll have more competition soon. The "cars" thing they have to fight everybody--insurance companies, car manufacturers, big oil, the govt. Pipe dream. I don't see Glass g

Most people using WordPress are not developers. So naming conventions that might make sense to you don't apply to the average user. It's called "wp-content" because that's where all personal, custom stuff goes--all your photos, plugins, et

And let me state the obvious: most of the time search is faster than navigation. Several clicks and realizing your information is not available or not where it should be or not comprehensive enough vs. search which takes you directly to th

"both a protocol to communicate between servers, in addition to the support from those servers" Yes, I think this is the advantage of WordPress over Diaspora. To some extent the infrastructure is already in place. Diaspora runs Ruby so ub

"only a very fresh programmer would need to google it" It's why this is a top story on Headquarters of Noobs. Not surprising. You mean Lenny Kravitz didn't write American Woman?

Would be nice if font size changed by control+scrolling mouse wheel, most code editors do that. I can't imagine really needing (or wanting) to evaluate things in realtime (like the videos demonstrate) unless I was writing cryptic, mind-num

If your password is 100,000,000 characters long, that's simply a waste of bandwidth, CPU time, space on the disk * millions of users * 1000s of iterations = money flushed down the toilet. And remember web servers have timeout parameters sp
