inrev··on Looks Like “Google +1″ Was Just Accidentally Revealed
I don't get the "accidentally" part. Somebody inside Google shared a screenshoot of something they should hane not...

Anyway, I don't see much of a product here.

Count me in. :)

> Dropbox is one that immediately comes to mind that has solved a very hard problem that I pay for.

Not really... It is not so hard to setup SVN, Apache, WebDAV, and NetDrive, and you got your own Dropbox...

inrev··on Review my side project: www.recreationparks.net
If you chose a state, say CA, a page that shows all the parks in California appears. The page is rather long and it takes some time to load. My browser actually wanted to stop the script. Maybe you can first show all the counties in CA and then the parks in a specific county.

Besides searching for a park near you, it might be interesting to search for a park near you that has a certain activity, say rock climbing.

inrev··on Ajaxian Featured Tutorial: Building a JavaScript table grid application with TaffyDB
"Taffy DB does not have indexes." Indexes are a key component of a DB system. Until they add indexes and are able to support large amounts of data they should not call themselves DB system.

In the mean time Taffy DB can be viewed as a library that can process a list of maps. Nevertheless, it might be useful.

inrev··on [dead]
Not a very interesting hack.

I am sure that when they created the website they did not want to take a ton of security precautions in order to prevent things like this.

I am sure that you can create a hack that will start 1 million threads, post 1 million comments, and create 1 million users.
