sounds like what playlist.com has been doing, quite successfully too, but I don't think they use youtube vids. I was wondering if they would start.

can anyone get 100%? my top score is 90

I would like to see the bullet-proof contract.

Surprising that Ireland where their European headquarters are located is not among countries where latitude can be used, though it is the same way with twitter. I don't suppose anyone knows the reason?

http://kickyoutube.com has been doing the same thing.

nice idea and very clean. I have a site that gives out an RSS feed. how do I get three feeds to see it?

I was wondering what happened slinkset. It's been quiet on their features/help sets and usually they are very responsive and pander to requests with lightning speed. I was worried that they were packing it in. It's a relief to know that they were just knocking this out. congratz guys, looks great. categories coming 09? :)

Seems to be a lot of people here who have a sound and rational knowledge of this game as the OP imagined there would be. I have a question and would be very grateful if someone could answer.

I have a good reason to believe that a relatively small Chinese company will be bought over by a massive US company this year. being a total newb, would it be feasible for me to buy shares in this company easily so that I can profit from them when it is bought? someone suggested sharebuilder.com. Anyone ever use them?

please make those eggs free range !

I see this question asked at least once a week on reddit.

Yeah, I always wondered who was out there doing work like this. I have been aware of designing sites for blind people and have worked on some so that they are accessible, but have never actually checked their usability with an actual screenreader.

It is interesting to learn that his screenreader can read it to him at three times the speed. I never considered that this would be an option, but had thought that listening to such great lengths of jagged simulated speech must be tedious. This has intrigued me to test one out.

Here he is with that braille rubix: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSSLj3KvkbI

China announced on christmas day that it was gearing the yuan to be used as an international currency as more and more businesses are worried about trading in the dollar.

There is also evidence that China is moving away from its reliance on exports for economic growths towards a more consumer driven economic model by setting up distribution centres in rural areas and offering subsidies to rural households for the purchase of household appliances and other goods. They are though also strengthening trade relations in emerging markets.

A number of Gulf Arab states will maintain their 2010 deadline for a single currency, the secretary-general of the Gulf Cooperation Council also announced recently.

This all means that yes, the dollar is being put to sleep and 2009 will be a disaster year for it and the American economy, but it does not mean the Euro will replace it. The Yuan will become the currency for trade with China and the GCC will be seeking to promote their own single currency.

I use Illustrator and Fireworks. I use photoshop for some special effects but try and stick with vectors as long as i can until the gif/jpg stage so as i can transform them easily.

A lot of the most frequently used special effects in PS can be used in illustrator now in vector format which is handy like drop shadows etc. PS was never really built to make graphics, just to manipulate photographs but it serves the purpose to some extent. you might use it for blending a photo into a gradient for a banner and things like that but you can also do this in FW.

If you want to learn how to make graphics for web - get Fireworks and/or Illustrator, it'll make the job a lot easier and Fireworks has the best engine of the three for compressing images for the web. you'll notice the difference. The three all work together though.

http://symbolics.com/ doesn't look like it's been updated too much since then either.

Here it is from 98, no divs, no doc-type: http://web.archive.org/web/19981207002851/stony-brook.scrc.s...

I liked these ones recently: http://abduzeedo.com/clever-logos

In particular; lochness, food writers guild and gotham books. Fedex gets undue praise everywhere and I think it is a lazy design. the F,e and d don't sit sharply anyway.

superfluous mark-up

I am nearly sure that that a similar story was discussed on HN recently but I may be confusing it with another forum/social news site. anyway here's is a video that I watched as a result recently called the disappearing male: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7530701744597358451&...

wow, thanks for posting. didn't expect something like this to be on HN. The Netherlands is proving itself to quite the innovator. that's nothing new really. even more since the last dutch design themed post which was posted: http://pythonide.blogspot.com/2008/10/how-to-make-money-with...

Hope they release this font to the public but it is doubtful.

not for non-US residents unfortunately. enjoy the free show!

small correction: it's a bigfin squid not a giant squid.

just tried 20q.net and i can say it does make a lot better guesses and it is also not categorised.

yeah it is annoying but once you have put in your stats, you can just keep pressing the start game button you get a spot within in a minute which admittedly is an aeon in net-time though.

wow@woz. for me it got: mother theresa, richard branson, bowie, tarantino but stumbled on dylan for tom waits. it will guess your cousin too.

I am amazed at the amount of data that had to be collected for this to correctly guess 5 for 5 of my characters. some of them were kind of obscure too. I wonder if they didn't crowd-source it some how.

edit: with the first incorrect guess of seven, i get it. they are crowd-sourcing the data every time it loses. brilliant.

I agree and have wondered for some time whether this list was in fact a plant on their part. I have been watching their site for some time and there is not a chance it is used often enough to attract those sort of figures. this article was linked to at their site shortly after they started up.

His advice is good and probably worth implementing. one thing though..

I thought some WHOIS services offered the ability to view cached pages of all previous contact details, no ?

like links that open automatically in new tabs, i think that would take control away from the user.

ps. isn't your state nanny enough ?

i'm just looking forward to be able to customize the CSS, (That will be one fine day) and upload a favicon (like slinkset just did!).

also now i'm being told that i have only completed 77% of my goals. but i'm never going to put ad-sense on the site and i've told my friends and casual aquaintences a bunch about weebly but i'm not going to spam anyone's inbox so it looks like i'll be staying at 77 - which is a lucky enough number (outside china anyway) so i dont really mind too much i guess.

Was this only launched in the US ? I'm not geting any visual clutter for SearchWiki options.
