"A page of your portfolio" -- Sounds intriguing! :)

Thanks for spending the time to put this together. It's a very interesting list and a lot to digest.

Jon Henshaw's last blog post..Stop Words Becoming Increasingly More Relevant to Domains and Search [1]

Excellent points. In my opinion, Digg is great for dofollow links and traffic for building inbound links (assuming the content is compelling enough to bookmark and/or blog about). Otherwise, it's mainly noise without much chance of driving targeted traffic or creating conversions.

Even better, a web based blog manager

@Scott, now you're just making me hungry for eggs.

@Wreck, I hope to one day be lucky enough to own two baskets, then if one basket breaks, I will still have 1/2 a website...that is 1/2 of a useless, broken website. There's no difference between using S3 or any other hosting provider. They are all susceptible to going down. If you break a few eggs or piss on your basket, the result is still usually the same. Of all the services, S3 up to this point has been a very reliable and affordable service – and I think they still are.

My theory is that it's all related to Twitter. Wherever Twitter goes, hosting environments fall! :P

I like the idea of offering developers and incentive to get involved. That could be in the form of a contest, publicity or whatever.

Jordan, that's hilarious. Not the new found love mind you, but the sweet offspring picture ;)

I actually had a different take on it. I'm really pleased by it. It's aesthetically pleasing and seems to work quite well for an alpha release. I also like that they didn't go overboard with the social networking features.

Personally, I prefer to use Amazon S3 for all of our multimedia storage (images, audio and video). Sure, it's not free, but it's damn cheap and extremely fast and reliable.

If you care about traffic from search engines, then you should stay far away from the "human URL" argument. Seth may be a marketing guru, but he gets it very wrong when it comes to SEO. This is illustrated easily in the fact that he endorses this: "7. Use subdomains when driving people deeper than your homepage - e.g. Product.YourBrandName.com."

As Matt Cutts confirmed to me, subdomains are still considered unique entities to Google, which means if you followed a strategy of spreading out your content over many subdomains, you would greatly dilute your top level domain (TLD). So, instead of having one high authority TLD with tons of great content, you will have a diluted TLD with diluted subdomains. That is not a good strategy.

If you're concerned about humans, then use a short URL redirect system. Because the only humans we're talking about that need human-friendly URLs are the ones typing them in manually from a print publication. Because on the Internet, links are links are links...and it doesn't matter what they look like to a human.

It's probably temporary. I've actually stopped using Quicksilver for the time being, just to test out what it would be like only using Spotlight. Especially now that it highlights the Top Hit, making it work similarly to Quicksilver -- at least when it comes to quick launching apps.

Drop the flat board/screen and start showing me the future already ;-) Definitely cool though.

Nice, but this is the original diggless Digg feed: http://sitening.com/digg/

Ha! All I can say is been there, done that (several times). I predict you will be back on Firefox within a month -- 2 months max ;)

I've tried to switch several times, but as a Web Developer I keep coming back to Firefox. I find the Add-Ons that I use to be too valuable. I also prefer Firefox's keyboard shortcuts (although I'm sure I could mimic those in Safari I wanted to).

Drivesavers doesn't cost that much (you said $6,000 is what they quoted you). It cost me about $2,000. You can read about my data recovery experience and also get a 10% discount from Drivesavers. Seriously, it shouldn't cost you more than $2,000 max through Drivesavers. If you change your mind, give them this code: DS16990 and they'll give you 10% off. Good luck!

Daniel, that's hilarious! Where did you get that quote from?
