Created a fantasy list. So I can watch my demise this week in real time...

No, please don't change it that way! The best use case for this is sharing images quickly. If I can't trust that my http://homer%20simpson.jpg.to/ is going to be the same one loaded by my friend, then I won't share it with my friend. This could be pretty handy in it's current state.

Headline buries the lead, $4 million round! Great stuff. Very exciting.

Wow. Love the project

I like the idea... but a 1200 calorie, non-workout day had me consuming only milk for 3 of my 5 meals

Love the name. I've definitely taken a matchbook from a place just to remember it

Cool. I could use this. Gifts are cheap advertising. I signed up for my app, selfcompete.com

There is a mentions section that lists all of your replies. And you can have any mentions text messaged to your phone.

It's definitely one of the prettier SSH apps, but it faces the same barrier I've seen with other SSH apps - typing is too slow! It will sometimes be a full 2 seconds between when i finish a word and it starts appearing on the screen.

Has anyone else noticed this or found one that doesn't do this? I'm doing this on iPhone, maybe the iPad is better, but I don't see any reason why.

I'm building something of a portfolio project in my spare time. Something to show to potential employers and myself that I have the ability to make a robust web application.

It is called http://www.selfcompete.com and, even though I'm doing it as a learning experience, I think it has the potential that it could gain some users because it's a lot of fun to use. It is a web app that provides a way to measure (and kind of brag about) your personal bests. I wrote up a blog post explaining a little more of the idea behind it : http://dashdingo.org/post/4273080092/what-is-self-compete

You can contact me through the email address in my profile or twitter, where I have the same username.

I'm one of those Launchrock sites (http://www.selfcompete.com - plug :/)! Although I've only been collecting email addresses for a little over a month, I'm going to follow up on this advice sometime this week. It's a very reasonable suggestion and as acangiano suggested, keeping the list warm is important because I know I've received emails from things I don't remember signing up for.

- Look at compete.com traffic estimates

- Extrapolate

- Make assumptions based on extrapolation

- Write sensationalist headline

"we will frequently experiment by trying new things, adding new features"

I can't remember any features that were tested publicly and weren't kept. Can anyone help me out here?

Not as fast as I think unfortunately

Great for forrst, well deserved, even if this is yet another article that pretends forrst is for designers only...

Us devs are on there, I promise.

Expected an article from 4 years ago...

I like it. The only thing that bothered me was that I couldn't find the prices. But it looks like that is because the prices don't exist yet.

I would definitely look at using this, but only for a pretty serious application. Nothing I've worked on so far has required that level of authenticity, or verification of a working phone.

"and I'm checking for updates as little as possible." - per user though. Did the gigantic and sudden success of the app perhaps throw out some red flags? It could have been a legitimate automated response by the Facebook system because it wasn't exactly the normal growth rate for an application.

"Base on PDFmyURL"

And it literally does nothing differently ...

Regular with automatic updates

I love how this works. But I'm worried about most bugs not being trackable by which div they're in. This would work if you're developing flat files for a customer that had access to this tool. But I think most bugs arise from heavy use of a system by the end user.

I've actually switched from google to bing maps recently. Finding it easier to use and having more useful returns. I'm actually beginning to write a gem wrapper if anyone agrees and wants to contribute :) http://xjst.in/fUtWeW /shamelessplug>

But before that, twitter is most used for me.

"Let's say you're some entrepreneur, sure you made 200k this year and have 3000 followers on twitter."

I'm not sure that the author has any room to criticize how this entrepreneur tweets if they have 3,000 followers compared to the author's 65. And how is making $200k/year "doing it wrong"?

A lot of the charm with crafts is being hand made and individual. Even if a craft maker can make and sell 1,000 popsicle stick men, there is still the illusion that each is unique and painstakingly made. When you present up front that "we're going to make a bunch of popsicle stick men", it kind of kills that, even if the same amount is being produced.

I'm not sure how we want to define "OS feature", but Spotlight is amazing.

My new business plan: 1.) Add "anything" to the "end" of my word: "tweet" 2.) Develop something based on the results 3.) ???? 4.) Profit

Thanks!
