   I bought the original netbook, ASUS eeepc 701 surf, and I hated it. The 7in screen was too small, and a keyboard at 92% normal size just wasn't working for me. However something around the 10in might be handy from time to time. I used ubu

    I like round numbers. It keeps everything nice and easy to multiply :) As for the name of the subscription, I find this can be tough. We are launching with "Premium" for now, but we already have plans for a second level membership when so

    The idea of "flying under the radar" should be thrown out. Most importantly, ideas are worthless without action.

    I love the service. Its a great idea, and the scriptability of it makes integration into an existing pipeline extremely easy. All praise aside I cannot say I personally would use it much beyond experimenting with it. My project uses googl

    I understand the need for this regulation. But do you think it will really change anything? The marketers will find another way to do the same thing.

    Sorry I wasn't able to complete an upload to the site. I was uploading two images (2mb) and the progress bar failed at 24%. I use Safari 4.1 on OSX.6.5 with a slow internet connection (768kbps) currently.

    Didn't see it mentioned already, but <username>.bit.ly redirects to bit.ly/user/recent/<username>. So "pplante.bit.ly" redirects to "bit.ly/user/recent/pplante" which contains the list of my recent shortenings. This must be
