The signup page is pretty up front about the pricing and capabilities. The link already takes them to a straightforward and clear summary of the different options, so I don't see any reason not to make the link text into something that is

This seems like the sort of thing that botnets would excel at. Instead of just a link farm, unscrupulous companies could have a whole bunch of machines "clicking" away within their link farms to make it look like there is actually user tra

I didn't see the page before you added the elements, so it may very well be an improvement, but it is currently distractingly busy. One suggestion would be to cut down on the text in the bubbles and move from paragraph form to something cl

How does this account for the continued growth of women in other technical fields? One of the biggest points in the article is that this trend differs strongly from many other intellectual areas.

The best way to get the fees under control would be for the major online ticket finders to start delisting airlines that were not upfront about their fees. It's a risky choice on their part, but as it stands the travel sites have the most

I'm currently using Dina, and to date it has been the best programming font I've used. http://www.donationcoder.com/Software/Jibz/Dina/

Have we really gotten to the point where something that surfaced just two months ago as a rumor can actually be called vaporware? I can see why the author of the article would be a little let down compared to last year's platform launch, bu

Except for areas with a particularly high number of venues, (downtown, college campus, etc), the shows should turn up in groups based on where they're playing. Actually, once you get going and have time to start adding features, I'd recomme

On the subject of scrolling, using the middle mouse button to scroll will scroll both the page and the map, which makes it a little annoying to use. The easiest way I can think of to fix this offhand would be to scale to the window size b

I suppose that it depends on how low you set the bar for what is considered literacy.

The three reasons the article gave for dropping gaming videos were that they were outside the main focus of the site, exposed the company to unwanted liability, and were consistently larger and more resource intensive than other videos. Ho

Or at least make it plain somehow why the site is being matched. Perhaps have the matching keywords show up in a third line of text under the two that are already there. Also, like others have said, you really need to do a better job of an

You say that jokingly, but spam filters would probably work if someone was willing to slog through the digg front page long enough to build up a decent set of training data.

Perhaps you are asking the wrong question here. Instead of learning a new programming language for web apps, maybe you ought to try programming a type of application that is new for you. I think that taking a go at something like a client

This looks interesting, but given the amateurish site, lack of contact information, and lack of independent media verification, I'd definitely stay away from them for now. Most of the media coverage I saw was repeating company information.
