   I like using Reader to manage my feed subscriptions, but nothing more. I don't want to share my content on any social network. Nor do I want to view the content in an iframe. I would prefer to just click the row of the feed item and have

   Lets not over-sensationalize this, buy domains from GoDaddy, just skip the other services. Their domains and SSL certs are still some of the cheapest.

    Maybe its just me, but I hate the idea of giving all my personal information to a site called leaky. It fails to instill confidence. The design is pleasing on the eyes, thanks square!

    Peewee is a great library. I hacked away on mysql support in my own fork of it earlier this year, so I am really happy to see mysql support is official now. Keep up the great work Charles!

    How do I know you aren't storing my data long term? Also what is the point in this when gmail already recognizes who I talk to often and adds them to my contacts list? I am just having a hard time understanding this.
