It depends on the rental market. Here in Pittsburgh, more landlords in the city are bad because it's such a heavy student population. What's the incentive to be good or to update apartment features? Every apartment gets rented out anyways.

US-only for now. We'll edit the frontpage to include more information. Thanks.

This is an API, not an application. In other words, if you want the end-user to get an SMS reply, you have to write code and instruct the API to send a message.

good to see alphalab cranking out new stuff.

This book is mostly about styling tables. So as a response to the title: I highly doubt it!

To answer the question in the title.. I don't know yet :)

Keep going at it Paul

First half of the article - good & inspirational. Second half - horrible.

Awesome! Looking forward for the development on Firebug to ramp up.

In the video, he shows that comments too can be voted up and down (not just search results), so bad comments will quite quickly disappear.

How about a workspace without set hours. You have a task to complete by a certain deadline. Do it or risk being fired.

This will add overhead by always keeping everyone on track with specific tasks, but it's definitely worth it (think Scrum/Agile).

Doesn't Best Buy do this?
