Yeah actually only HTTP object GET requests seem to be working for me (although they're working 100% of the time).

Phew, back up. Although that the fact that it was possible to have the entire network go down is quite worrying. S3 actually has an SLA; http://aws.amazon.com/s3-sla If I'm reading that right, if S3 is completely down for more than about

There are guys! And a cat! Yeah it's creepy, but it has a low bounce rate :)

Yeah, that would be a good idea. I wanted to do it for launch, but didn't have time to put it together. I might give it a go today.

Hi All, I launched thatsmymouse.com this morning. Mashable posted a very positive review; http://mashable.com/2008/01/31/thatsmymouse/ I read news.yc everyday (or all day as the case may be), so if you have any questions feel free to post

Indeed. Comet is only better if you have an app that sends significantly more data to users than it receives. If you're constantly sending data to the server, or only send responses based on user input, then comet is the wrong choice.

I use OpenAds to run CPC ads on my sites (although I almost always run CPM - for small sites you rely too much on the advertiser producing ads with a decent CTR when you use CPC. If you use CPM, then it puts this pressure back on the buyer)

So... how does OpenSocial work?

If you exclude everything with 0 votes, since you can't divide by 0 anyway, it might work.

Presumably the "best" post would be the one with the lowest rank.

Sounds perfect - thanks. Presumably after several hours you could discount the votes altogether since they would have such a little influence on the final result. That would stop the system getting bogged down over time. Out of interest, wh

Very true. I can spend weeks researching and analysing the most import 100 lines in most of my apps. no one uses LOC any more - that article is from 1984! I'm pretty sure Gates would have a different answer if asked now.

Make an advertising kit (stats & info promoting your site, along with details on advertising opportunities) and send it out to companies that sell products relevant to your audience.

Very true. I've always found productive people to be much more useful than smart people.

One explanation would be that the people who you "scammed" into viewing the site, turned up and didn't find the content they expected, so they went and found something else to click on - i.e. your Adsense. Good old bait and switch. I don't

Unicorn tails. As a serious answer; Lots of web-based revenue sources are volume based. The more they grow the more they can make. In advertising this is somewhat exponential - the more popular your service, the larger CPM (cost per thousan

Since this has turned into a discussion on Tangler; I use Tangler occasionally (I'm Sydney based, so I've met Martin too - great guy, very helpful). The app was kinda slow initially, but it's getting much better. I read posts on it a couple

I disagree. I'm onto my second startup. My first one is (just) profitable and my second is showing very promising signs. I put all the profits back into my businesses, so I work three days a week to pay my personal bills (and temporary busi

It will make you a better writer, yes - for exactly the same reasons. The more experience you have the better you become.

That's vaguely cool, but any javascript can be encased in JSON, so it's just saying the entire site is in js - why would you want to do that?
