Sneaker neat is to Transport Layer as Filing Cabinet is to Data Structure.

how about notafath.er?

Finally, a way to delete your facebook account without that impossible to pass 2-week grace period.

You could monetize this by charging to see if your SO has used the site

This website was responsible for me compulsively buying a domain. Congratulations.

This would be more fun if I could use it with my NES gun

I like how they kind of poke fun at their own use of stock photography.

I didn't know Toronto had a TLD.

Also, I hope no one I know finds out about this app ;)

I think it's more like a hash than a "shortened" URL. Kind of like thingler.com

It's pretty. Then it turns into a nipple (like on a baby bottle).

I wouldn't call it a launch but I made it during my break. It's microblogging for haikus.

What's the benefit of registering a hate domain?

Someone goes to Bing.com to search, doesn't like it, and then goes to Fuckbing.com to read up on all the Bing hate?

The internet doesn't weigh anything, Jen.

If you could get away with turning up your dynos and workers in anticipation of a traffic spike and then not have to pay; it wouldn't be fun any more.

maybe I will!

Voice recognition algorithms aren't "getting better everyday." Development is actually kind of stagnant.

I deleted mine a few days ago. Hopefully I'll make it through the 14-days where I can re-activate.

## My Facebook Rants:

* __Friends__ - A social network should just sense the people you're interested in and give updates accordingly. This would do away with your creepy co-worker demanding that you be his/her "friend." You wouldn't have to delete, and offend, that kid that you never spoke to in the 5th grade. In fact, Facebook kind of requires that its users adopt a kind of 5th grade mentality towards social interaction. "Will you be my girlfriend?"

OkCupid gets this part right. You can add people as friends but updates from people you've recently stalked show up in your feed automatically. If OkCupid wasn't a dating-oriented site, it wouldn't make a bad social networking site.

* __The e-mails__ - I block Facebook emails on gmail. There really should be a way to opt-out of this. It's annoying.

* __Tagging__ - This seemed neat at first and was what probably made Facebook popular in the Facebook but it was a mistake. When I had Facebook, I just blocked anyone from seeing pictures I was tagged in. If I went to a party or something; I would avoid cameras because I didn't want to have to worry about a picture of me drinking and playing dice in an alley to show up on my wall.

* __Vendor Lock-In__ - You can't download your own profile pictures, status updates, etc without the use of some ephemeral 3rd party tool that probably won't exist for very long.

* __The 14-day re-activation period__ - I quit smoking after 6 years; it was easier.
