This is the first year that I've tried Value Based Drafting. It's also the worst team I've had in years. I struggle to get 90 points in a standard league. Part of it is because Spiller has been a big bust this year, but in

Looks great! I think you've found the right balance between RSS readers and Twitter. Just for clarity, Sbscribe is a self-contained social network? One follows someone else's Sbscribe profile, not their Twitter profile?

Nice. Very fast. Can't wait for sort by oldest first and ability to star/import starred items.

This is what I'm waiting for too. The ability to search made it a powerful tool beyond just a news aggregator. So far, I have not been able to find an adequate replacement.

Sorry to add the the negativity, but no screenshots is not very good. How can we expect to take your UX critique seriously if you don't provide good UX for your own users? Screenshots are an essential part of any UX analysis. Use the scre

The pastry example is really important. You can't just serve ads to people, they have to be targeted toward the users' interests. Perhaps they're based on your check-in history, but this won't convert well to sporadic users. I don't know

To me, this is similar to the music industry/pirating example. Find a black market, go to the source of the problem, improve the experience so that users will choose your legal method as the best alternative. In music/movies, it's providi

This Portlandia Nerd PSA makes a similar point to the one that the Community is good/Big Bang is bad people are trying to make. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v...

To echo the sentiment above. I use NameCheap, and am very happy with them. Easy to use, and they leave me alone. I will never use nor recommend GoDaddy ever again for their SOPA support, bad business practices in general, tasteless ads (

I've seen some of the past top commenters on How-To Geek and Ars Technica forums. But there's nothing that really replicates the old Lifehacker. Reddit's LifeProTips might be good eventually, but there is a significant amount of noise sin
