As a college student, I'm always torn about whether or not it is worth it to get my CS degree. Sometimes, my classes seem really useless, but at other times, I feel like I'm learning a lot socially at college.

For a first time coder, being able to see your page change live is very helpful in getting to learn HTML and CSS. This is an amazing complement to the book you are writing - nice work Nathan!

He's hands down the best Growth Hacker I've ever met. He already has job offers from some of the most coveted tech companies, but I would encourage any startup to reach out to him if they want to increase their viral coefficient.

I created a very similar app called BuddyMeme ( http://buddymeme.com ) and we ran into the exact same problem - images posted to Facebook would often get 50+ likes, but it was tough to convert those impressions into signups onto BuddyMeme.

There are certain situations in which only the favicon is displayed - for example, when tabs are "pinned". In these cases, appending text to the page title would not be visible, which is why it's beneficial to have a dynamic favicon.

I see your concern, but we haven't done this yet - we have no reason to. There is no actual reward for being the "richest", we could care less as to who claims the title. If we ever auto-outbid people, they would find out right away, and wo

They aren't accessing any API's - Siri is still pretty locked down at this point, and will be for a while. All this does is sync your Calender with Remember the Milk, which never actually interacts with Siri.
