Is it so bad? You can still choose to not have your number on Facebook? Or am I missing something.

I think either way is okay. It depends on how you want to structure it. Most web APIs aren't entirely RESTful anyway. It is also important to note that a lot of hosting providers don't support other verbs than GET or POST (ie Low-REST) [1].

Well written! Is Jeff Bezos really like he paints him to be?

Yeah. This is great. Will work great with APIs.

This is fantastic! Emergent commenting behaviour gave rise to unexpected structured information.

Your phone... is now... a phone!

Can anyone explain why I should use this instead of other web programming languages?

Jokes aside, I really like the 'brogramming' ethos. I feel it really embodies 'balance' in life.

As the slogan puts it: "Rage at the codebase, rage at the gym, rage at the club". Programming is very much a logical and intellectual endeavour. One has to be creative, yet logically inclined. So on thise side, your mental capabilities are constantly being challenged.

Staying healthy is also an important, hence 'rage at the gym'.

And then finally 'rage at the club' to me implies you have to loosen up, enjoy life and do things the body wants, not the brain. In other words, not be stuck in programming mode all day.

On that note: I've been wanting to sell my website www.twimemachine.com for a while now. If anyone is interested: message me.

They do. Went to 2009 and Facebook highlighted when I became friends with her. Sigh.

Yep. It sucks. Apparently it is going to be upgraded.

How did you automate all of this? Would love to know!

This ties in with a question on Quora on why Dropbox is so successful. http://www.quora.com/Dropbox/Why-is-Dropbox-more-popular-tha...

Knowing where to draw the line between a basic value proposition and extended features is crucial to success. I have this same dilemma. Users have been requesting features to one of my websites, but I am unsure if adding these features won't detract from the simplicity of the experience. Currently users do 10 pages a visit, which to me, tells me they understand the flow of using the website.

It is an exciting trade-off!

Thanks! I will check these out.

I've been looking at similar solutions. I've tried using fluxflex.com, but it only seems to work for public projects. The main purpose of my site is not to have full-scale operations: just a place online to test it.

Anyone know of similar solutions?

The more I program and do things, the more I realise how little people actually know. They just do, and hope it turns out okay. And that is awesome. I want more people to realise that. Just program and push stuff out. You will learn so much.

Thank you!

Has anyone from other countries signed up for this? Does anyone know how the visa situation is in order to work for those 3 months in the USA?

On a related note, I'm really enjoying what the Buffer guys are doing. They have a novel idea, but to me following their stories and successes have been fascinating. I keep learning from them. Hope they succeed!

Is there any way to make this function like reddit's top bar?

I don't think it will happen, but the fact that it seems entirely plausible is what is interesting. Can Google keep buying platforms and keep make it free?

Is this your site? Perhaps include what is to be expected to be added into the form field?
