This was an interesting read on a company trying to combat credit card theft. The solution seems to be similar to what some banks in the UK currently use for bank transfers.

Haha thanks - yeah, tweet in 15 seconds or it fails you. iPaulGraham is awesome.

Is this really as good as they claim it to be? I remember using 'haptic feedback' with the Samsung S2 and it really wasn't very good - definitely not like a real button.

Answered you on Twitter but just reposting here in case anyone else wonders the same thing:

Essentially to prevent API misuse (which you have a good point with, it can be solved by rate limiting) and for any features in the future that might need to be user-aware.

Thanks :)

Thanks, that's encouraging!

Thanks, at the moment we've only got tech news as we originally built it to use for ourselves. We will be adding in more publications though - were there any specifically that you would want?

We wanted to make an open database that was free to use and could let you find relevant journalists (instead of paying a fee to current media databases that encourage mass-spamming).

Hope you find it useful!

Yeah, we're still working on keeping the data completely up to date - this will be corrected pretty soon though.
