instead of having separate image files for each logos, I would prefer two sprites(b/w & color) and apply CSS to reduce the number of HTTP requests.

Here's what I experienced:

1. Signed up using a dummy email address - just to test the service. Luckily(!), it logged me in without any email activation. Good that, there's a workaround to see the service without giving your actual email address.

2. The landing page page after I logged in was little confusing at first. There was a button to create list - but I was wondering why should I create a list first in a bookmarking service. Later, only after creating a list, the option to add an URL popped up.

3. Even before I create a list, I installed the bookmarklet. But when I tried to bookmark a page, the popup window was asking me to choose a list but I didn't have any. I thought from that popup I could create a new list, but I couldn't.

4. After logging out, I wanted to login again. Went to home page - but couldn't find any 'login' link. It took sometime to realize I need to enter my email address in the same textbox which I used to signup. Little confusing.

In India, there are lots of people who makes their living out of the money earned by helping people to fill out forms outside every Government office. And they are in this business not just for few months but for a long time.

exactly what happened to me. I had two for loops defined in my JS code which used the variable "i" without declaring. Hence, when the code ran, the second for loop behaving weirdly. It took sometime before catching the bug.

thank you.

//bot chooses randomly// that was the easy decision to make. Need to look further for any better decision making strategy.

Google Moderator can be used for getting idea feedback, though it won't generate good looking pages.

Simply great.

Feature request: If there's a slider with the thumbnails of all the textures which can be browsed in single page, that would make the searching easier, instead of clicking next page so many times!

1) To improve my writing/skills. 2) To reach out people of different countries/skill sets (which would have never possible/tough with out a blog) 3) To contribute back to the community. 4) To build a virtual identity of myself (when I meet some people for the first time, they usually start with "hey.. you write that blog, right!?)

'intent' worked well for me. With intents, it took only few lines of code to scan and de-crypt a QR image (thanks to zxing). Without intent, it would have taken weeks to implement such feature.

I guess the intention is not to 'search' but to say that you love the terms you entered in the textbox. So, IMO the heart button looks very suitable for that.

My twitter account (@vraa) is not protected. But when I tried, I got an error message "Whoops, either that twitter user does not exist, or their account is protected, try someone else.". tried both vraa and @vraa without success!

may be a bug or twitter quota has exceeded?

The live site is not ready yet. Since, the problem seems to be more generic, I posted the question here.

If the same topic had been discussed in old threads, can you please share the link? I would be interested to read that discussion too!

The message in that page reads: "this site appears in a popup. So, if you have a popup blocker, please turn it off while you visit".

Now, how am I supposed to know this information, if my pop-up blocker has already blocked this page? :P

This reminds me an old joke where one person writes a letter to his friend saying "Please write me back if you are not getting this letter". :)

//A "source" text box to input the URL of the source//

If the source already has a URL, then why is it needed to create a another (short) URL for that source again! a URL shortener (bit.ly, goo.gl) could be used in that scenario. :)

//bloated enterprise stuff//

by this you mean the frameworks like Spring, Struts or the buzzwords like JMS, EJBs?

but only the enterprise developers seems to be caring about Java platforms. Freelancers / hackers rarely use Java.

Sometime back, I have created a similar programming specific search site, based on Google Custom Search

Here it is: http://veerasundar.com/app/codered/

fixed it. Please check now. :)

Semantic web

I was about to comment this one, but u already did.

I came to know about Twitter hack via FriendFeed.

Good Idea.

But what if the user just visit only one page of the website and leaves the page immediately (such as traffic generated from search engines) ? In this scenario, the resource package required for the entire site will be downloaded just for showing one page!
