DISQUS

First off, thanks for the shout out.

And the number is 3200: That's the last tweet you can get (page 160), anything over that isn't accessible by UI or API unfortunately at the moment.

Of course I'd come check you out if I wasn't on at the same time. But text me when you're done.

Awesome, thanks guys :)

On the topic of independent voters, thought this New Yorker piece on Ohio was quite interesting: http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2008/10/13/0...

Looks sharp

wow. just wow.

Dude, that was a stressful read. Glad you've got it back. Can I suggest adding "set a master password" to your list of things to do?

The idea makes sense, but I guess my question is why is that good for users? I mean it's great for the sites/ad world, but why does it make anyone's life better for them to share their behavior data (even if it's anonymous)?

We still need to grab that beer ...

That's awesome. Nice work dude.

I'm guessing it's not the Night Agency Darren Paul, since the email (which I also received) had an 818 number ... Also odd was that his email address wasn't his name ... It's mysterious.

I'm not sure I agree/understand ... Basic SEO is fairly straightforward and there's a hand full of tips everyone could take to heart to help them rank higher (simple stuff like optimizing your title tags so the searchable stuff comes first and using semantic markup). However, the single most important aspect of SEO is the quality of your content: The more people that like it, the more people that link to you, the higher you show up in the results. I mean I get what you mean about Flash/AJAX and the issues it presents, but I think there are larger issues at hand (like brands tend to make useless websites that nobody want to visit).

ha. i think this has officially become my favorite comment about brand tags. thanks.

Thanks for the shout out Michael.

Thanks for the add Sarah, hope you enjoy (and the randomness doesn't overwhelm).

As for folder schemes in Reader, I prefer a tiered system: I have my friends (which I read first), followed by tier 1, tier 2 and (you guessed it) tier 3. To be honest, though, I hardly ever get to tier 2 or 3 . . .

I'm with you Michael, I enjoyed it quite a bit. Just found it interesting to read another side of the story . . .

I found Momus's slightly less positive take on Arden's work interesting . . .

Was a great chat Ryan, good, as always, to see you.

Curious to see what this is all about . . .

Wow, congratulations. That's awesome.

That's amazing, way to go.

Good points Paul, you articulated a bunch of things I've been trying to say . . . The value is almost entirely short-term, which in reality, was the big question I was asking with my post to begin with: Will Facebook survive for long, or will it be supplanted by yet another social network?

Half-ideas aren't a problem on their own. But if you've got no plans to iterate and turn it into a full idea you could be in trouble. I think a lot of these ideas come to life when people refuse to share their ideas with others out of fear. They try to get their idea out there as quickly as possible and miss out on the great feedback you get when you share ideas.

That's fantastic Paul, thanks for sharing. And I totally agree, Adam, it does seem like out of any nationality the odds for the person to be Irish seem best . . . why is that? Are they just friendlier?

Noah Brier does like burritos.

Not as much as Amit likes Campaign Monitor, though.
