The data set can range depending on the twitter-ers being viewed. Relationships come down from Twitter in 2 json array pairs, this can be a megabyte or more of ids, multiply times 100 or more twitter comparisons being run.

I do very rarely see tweets from txt messages, but I think SMS's
constraints have helped twitter to resist feature creep and
differentiate with facebook

how long ago was this - another person reported the issue to me (just
via @alexbosworth) tweet - and I rolled out a fix to try and address
it, hopefully i fixed it but that is a tricky one to pin down!

I am working on a new revamp to tweetbe.at and it will include
feedback functionality

Hi webtester - sorry you are having problems with swik but I don't run
it anymore! I haven't been involved with it for years - so I am not
sure I can provide good support for it :(

nope never heard of that ill check it out

Re: Trying out JQuery

alexbosworth — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 00:14:17 -0000

maybe ill fill it in later when they click on something? I just like
that syntax of not having to mix my js with inline html strings

But I want to do $('#element').append(new Element('a')); which I don't
think jquery supports

Re: Trying out JQuery

alexbosworth — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 12:42:26 -0000

One thing I couldn't see is easy creation of dom elements through
objects - ie: var anchor = new Element('a', {'href':url});

Re: Alex Bosworth's Weblog - Google App Engine - Read the maximum request quota...

alexbosworth — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 01:47:56 -0000

From this person's post it sounds like even with paid upgrades there is no way to increase from 500 queries per second?

I'm not saying 500 is not a lot, even with like 30 elements on a page you could probably still do like 50k visitors an hour - but inside every app developer's dreams is the idea of becoming the next Google, who I'm sure handles well over 100k queries a second.

Nope, but I"m not surprised because tumblr is blocked in China :/

For .torrents this is a great feature, I tried out utorrent but it's still missing a bunch of stuff that's in the real utorrent so I'm still stuck with Azureus, which also features good proxy support which can be important here

alexbosworth — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 02:38:54 -0000

You could use a java applet embedded in a web page - the general idea is that you could make visitors donate some of their resources just by virtue of visiting your page.

The downside to an applet versus javascript is load time.

Ah its actually in the S3 API docs - but still very confusing how to actually use it :( This kind of thing begs for examples

alexbosworth — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 12:38:17 -0000

I think really del.icio.us shouldn't give me the choice of private vs non-private. Non-shared links rob the community of valuable metadata.

I'm not really sure why I am marking things as private, I've just noticed that I do.

I'm not sure I trust them, do you use that?

I'd prefer something that supports amazon s3 but it does look promising since it charges money

Re: SWiK needs a reboot

Well since I don't work there anymore I don't really have any say in what happens, but maybe a netscape navigator like program would work

Revenue system is really the key. I wonder if Google could do more to push revenue to sites that generate great content. Adsense doesn't pay very much unless you are in a few niche areas.

Re: Alex Bosworth's Weblog - Proposal for a new blog entry element: source. ...

alexbosworth — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 07:43:42 -0000

This is good but not quite right: it only supports other RSS feed urls. Unfortunately, a source of a post will often not have an RSS feed.

Also I want a link to the actual post that is being referenced, if I have the actual post I can scrape the RSS feed, it's much more difficult the other way around.

If this element were hacked to say: <source url=""/> where url = any URI, and you can have multiple <source> elements in an item element, then you'd be cooking with gas.

I'd take anything as long as it would gain adoption. Those do seem like perfectly good solutions, they just need traction in blogging tools.

Tumblr has cool built in re-blog functionality, but it only works within tumblr and it would be hard to extend outside because it's not a separate field, it's combined into the description :(
