Great idea, but it looks a lot like a parked domain page and, in my humble opinion, the stock photo has to go. Not meant to sound negative, the service is a good idea, but hire a designer! :-)

Amazon is kicking some serious cloud-based butt. I don't see how the competition will catch-up or keep-up. Great work.

I also disagree with this convention. I find that print versions lack many images, diagrams, and additional media that add to the depth of a story. Also, whenever I read a print-version, I end-up having to resize my browser window to make i

Lieberman's actions are going to make things worse because he's taking something that is out-in-the-open -- which means is can be seen, understood, analyzed, and managed -- and forcing it to go underground where the government has even less

also look at www.snip.ly -- it doesn't highlight per-se, but it brings the text you've selected in a lightbox over the original article. Like awesomehighlighter (which someone else mentioned, it won't work on NYTimes pages. also, check ou

Quitting doesn't mean forever. For example, didn't you, David Winer, quit blogging in 2006 ( http://scripting.com/2006/03/13.html#whyIWillStopBlogging )? Now look at you!

sounds completely reasonable to me. i wonder if we'll see copyright symbols at the end of government cables from now on.

I've been waiting for major sites to allow sentence-level highlighting. Way to go NYTimes -- it's a good start!

I once had an "potential investor" come in to see my top-secret project (I was much more paranoid in those days). She loved it and called me back two days later and asked to meet with me for breakfast. When I arrived, she was wearing a tran

This is going to put a serious damper on many ebay sales from Japan -- especially high-end camera and lens sales.

you might want to give developers the ability to supply you with regex expressions perhaps and then do something like vary the post url/data based on any matches -- would enable matching of tech support ids or order ids, etc. but then again

This site can be a good place for such a thing... however, unless you're willing to give a high-level overview of what you're doing (at a minimum), you probably shouldn't expect very many people to make serious inquiries.

"The blogs and websites I read, the google alerts I use, the social networks I frequent, all give me this experience already today. I don’t need a newspaper to deliver it to me in one package." That has a nice ring to it, but it's short-sig

This must be really important if you felt the need to provide a link to your same exact blog post twice in two days (by changing the title of your post so it wouldn't be blocked/detected)! Actually, now that I look at your submission list

the next version will allow you to pay to keep three copies of your app loaded and ready to go at all times. that should eliminate the insanely slow load times for apps that don't get constant traffic (at a price yet to be determined). goog

you wouldn't prefer to have your incoming tweets organized by relevance? i certainly would. but it's tricky because sometimes really insightful people produce meaningless tweets, so it can't just be based on people, it also has to be based

one issue with node.js is that it is so early in the lifecycle of the product that there aren't a lot of 'clear winners' in the add-on modules department. it's hard to tell which will be maintained in the long term and which are just hobby

one thing you should probably do (this post aside) is not mention tony robbins when you're writing about the idea. the last thing you need, in the long term, is to provide a means for the tony robbins law machine to come after you for lifti

as a sign of how great the service is, IMHO, the only thing that annoys me is that I have to click on the password field whenever I have to log in. it looks like they've been testing a way to get the focus to the password field with a singl
