It's essentially a fast interface for viewing, grouping and sorting people you follow. It shows people you follow in groups of 100 and allows you to filter by; "not following back", "inactive", "talkative" and "quiet". It allows you to filt

Just launched this yesterday. Managing the people I was following on twitter was always a massive pain for myself and quite a few people I talked to, so I decided to do something about it :) Went through quite a few UI iterations trying to

I don't get it... It's this just a variant on the shortest path problem. Even a bad solution is going to look similar to a real rail network. There are plenty of good, easy algorithms to solve this, much faster than waiting a day for slime

That's unfair. Thanks to terrorism the US & most western countries now laws that can decimate your privacy & can hold you in prison with little to no evidence. We put up with it because we know that by the numbers there's little cha

Agreed, very poorly written article. You can't approach optimisation in isolation like that. There's a whole range of factors like readability, situational awareness, concurrency etc... that need to be considered. Plus this is the first rel

WARNING - I just tried to install this on FF3.5 (XP) and Firefox would not start. Took me a while to figure it out, but you need to use Add Remove Programs to get rid of it.

Also some of your buttons perform JavaScript operations, some load new pages - with the same design and sitting next to each other. It's always best to be consistent and have some sort of icon or UI element to define which actions keep you

I can understand why you might want people to enter an email address (for validation/more authentic results etc...) and if you're going to take that approach you sell it to your audience - tell them what the benefits are. Also say that the

The company I work for has an account. I use it about once every couple of months. The results are sometimes interesting, but it's really targeted at hard-core search marketers. As a casual user I find the reports hard to get my head around

I find it ironic that they're targeting "anyone who can build a Web site" & their first demo is ad blocking!

Also is it just me, or does that article piss anyone else on fundamental level. I'm quite a heavy drinker but suggesting alcohol is inducive to creativity is completely irresponsible. Do a quick Google and you'll find plenty of studies coun

"Drowning your sorrows is always an option, but could there be creativity in the bottom of that glass too? Unsurprisingly, several researchers have endeavoured to find out. After all, many of the most creative pursuits - jazz, for instance,

You know what someone needs to build; a cloud agnostic layer. A standard API that translates across all these cloud companies. It would reduce migration barriers and help drive down the price.

Pipelining does not work in most browsers (& is disabled in FF by default). When it does work it can be flaky. A JS solution works on current technologies.

Keep alive maintains a persistent connection, you are still limited by the number of concurrent connections to the server and the latency that each one experiences. MHXR bundles all your requests into one. This leads to savings the latency

Great read! It would be nice if someone tested if 5% increases in video content also get through. I wonder if this will lead to a new generation of piracy on YouTube,

That was the intention of choosing CSS selectors over robots.txt or nofollow, although a checkbox to specify following robots.txt & nofollow would be useful as you say.

You're right, that totally wasn't clear from the text we had on there. Thanks for pointing that out. I've updated the copy so it makes more sense now. The quick scan on the homepage only lists the first 5 errors. You need to create an accou

That's a tough one. This has been much debated, but at the end of the day we decided to go with our own filtering system since robots.txt and rel="nofollow" are created with search engines in mind, not spell checking. In general you want se
