This is fantastic. Otherwise I use freshdrop.net, but this is surfacing good domains more quickly. Well executed.

That is truly amazing, scary, and brilliant. I'm not usually impressed by these sorts of things, but this one seems like a really big deal .

That's pretty neat actually. Simple idea, well executed. Couple tiny points: - I was expecting to use my old tweets, instead of posting a new one. This way actually makes more sense, but maybe I could select from my recent tweets too? - The

Why does this require asynchronous GA and jQuery in the head? When a browser hits a script tag it waits (blocks) while it downloads the script and evaluates it. As such, including a bigger library like jQuery in the <head> will sl

For one thing, the script's name is "Mafia Wars Auto Play". I presume Zynga has a trademark on the term Mafia Wars, and would argue that the script's name implies a non-existent relationship between the two companies.

There's all kinds of client side uses for APIs. Facebook Connect logins for instance, which can't be initiated server side. Sending application/json to older versions of IE can cause it to pop up Save As dialogs, even in AJAX requests. They

Thanks for the link to the TF specs. They specify 5k/day, which is more than it used to be (150k/month as opposed to the 70k/month as I'd remembered it). My math was wrong anyway so I edited that out, but you were definitely correct. My apo

Unfortunately, IE chokes on application/json. So its actually safer to use application/javascript, or even text/html instead. This was still present in IE7, but they may have fixed it in IE8.

You're quite right, excuse me. I will edit my post. Thanks for the catch.

Generally I agree, except for a couple points: 5-10K uniques/day? Congrats you can get into the premium CPM networks. Not all traffic is created equal, so just hitting those numbers won't get you a decent ad deal. 1m uniques a month? Con

That would work, but I'd probably go even cheaper and get a basic HostGator account or something similar (~$10/month). Really depends on what your needs are (you won't get SSH with shared hosting, but you'll have all the bandwidth / disk sp

Put another way, are there situations where you can have boatloads of traffic and not make enough to pay for the bandwidth? Do eyeballs really mean all that much every time? Bandwidth is really cheap, so even the worst monetization can co

Care to explain? I took your username as a reference to Fargo. Is there another meaning, perhaps one that the Cohen Bros were referencing? Edit: I'm an idiot. Very clever.

Netflix is public, so its not necessarily their choice. Resisting a buyout (even a hostile takeover) rarely goes well (e.g., Yahoo).

However, in my experience you would be better off designing for this issue from the outset and avoiding the use of these libraries if you care about your layouts looking good in IE6. Strongly disagree. "Designing from the outset to avoid

May I suggest taking a look at Parsely? Its the syntax they use on www.parselets.com. The documentation for implementing it in your own apps is a little sparse, but the data format is awesome. Here's one that describes scraping HN: http://

I actually disagree. A high upvote to comment ratio is usually indicative of a great link.

Lots of fun, and it played very smoothly. Obviously the graphics could use a look, but you know that.

"if they make DocVerse-hosted Office documents available through Google Docs" I think that's the key there. If they can add the ability to edit Word docs online with high fidelity that would be really compelling. However, DocVerse does no

DocVerse looks like an awesome product, but I'm confused about how it fits into Google's strategy with Docs. Its a plugin for MS Office, that actually gives Office some of the better features of Google Docs (sharing, real-time collaboration

It seems that IE has been a consistent impediment to web based technologies for upwards of 10 years now. This is patently untrue. In 1999, IE was the best available browser (Netscape would have been your other option). It wasn't until Fir

Right, but of my monthly TWC bill, $45 is for internet and $90 is for cable. If I cancel the cable because I can watch everything online, they'll have a very difficult time recouping that $1080/year another way. That's bad for the content p
