FYI-- I reported this to the Twitterfox guys, maybe they'll fix that. Thanks for mentioning it.

How are you sending the link to them? What software/tools are involved? Some IM messangers and emails will mess IDN links up, so I'm on a crusade to notify vendors to get things working better. Also these don't work in IE6. Are they using t

Chrome and Firefox both work for it fine. I use Windows actually. Are you clicking them from a feed reader? Or from the Hacker News page? What kind of error do you get? Sometimes feed readers or the like urlencode the domain name and it con

FF3 works great (for me) with these on Mac, Ubuntu, Windows, etc. What platform are you using? Based on your error message, I bet it's not FF3 but whatever showed you the link. If I had to guess, you clicked on the link/page through a feed

More and more software at least recognizes the "www." prefix and turns it into a link. That saves some keystrokes: www.➡.ws/퐐 http://➡.ws/퐐 The www version actually works on Twitter, so we may make an easy API for that one for tools to us

Just a fun shrinker we cooked-up. It will be a very long time before these urls get very long. For example, Hacker News is: http://➡.ws/퐐 They won't work in IE6, but that's just the way it goes. Should work great on Twitter, hopefully.

I'd be a lot happier if I saw hints that FathomDB would also handle slave/mastering situations as well. Ideally it would be really easy to set those up, add new slaves, etc. I didn't see anything on this in the FAQ-- nor a clarification on

Make your engine search-as-you-type and you're onto something. Don't hide your searchbox up on the top right-- I couldn't find it on my wide screen. Seemed fine enough once I started getting results, but I'd center/leftify the search box an

Look at the attention this is getting Etherpad. I'm pretty sure this was a pretty high ROI day of work! To further drive that thought home, my company hereby offers to add any 1-day-effort feature request made by any popular tech figure, pr

One of the ways we've used in the past is that FeedbackArmy service. For $7 or whatever, it's a great way to ask a few questions like "What does this site do?" to a lot of random folks you'll never know or see.

Great start there. Thanks a lot for the response. Some of our widgets actually do it the other way: <script> MyAPI_userID = 4000; MyAPI_something = 2; </script> <script src="api.js"></script>

Got any pointers to "gotchas" articles or guides for cross-site JS widgets/includes? If not, want to write one? I've been looking for some blog articles on this recently for our team.

Well, it's not saying it's literally a mortgage-- more that it's yet another area that is often associated with people spending beyond their means. Ideally, I think founders should skip the VC if they can grow/sustain things themselves or a

Anyone with Pylot (or any other load testing tool) could do this at any point they wanted to your server from the comfort of their own home. Shall we boycott those next? And this site even seems to have denial-of-service protection of diffe

You don't ever run into that accidental situation where you opened a doc/makefile/source/etc that you just wanted to view but not change? That dialog is handy when you accidentally made a change but weren't aware of it. It doesn't happen a

Very neat tool. I saw this when it was mentioned on a post I made not long ago. If you want something you can simply add to .bashrc, here are some bash functions to also help jump around to directories you want: http://mattie.posterous.com

We use our own optimized BOSS results as a feature over on http://bug.gd -- and I couldn't agree more with every single one of the points in Gabriel's post. Yes, it's different. No, it's not the end of the world for major/medium sites. Fo

Great question! We're much more focused on leveraging the widget/facebook/myspace/iphone/social-site dynamic with Yumbunny. Engage has somewhat stagnated and we hope to leverage a few different things: * A fresh approach to the concept * Le
