I'm wary of this. Are the bad guys really going to be honest about what icons they display? (edit: I realize I'm repeating what's written in the article)
I'm totally confused about how this works. The blog post and the home page didn't clear it up for me. Integrates with Gmail? What does Broadcast mean in this context? What do you mean, in your blog post, when you say you can now "archive the task".
Great suggestion. Changed to PrintedPraise.com. Added CitySearch. Going to add plaques shortly (solid wood, lacquered, just like the fancy magazine article plaques).
Thanks guys for all the feedback. Today I will drop the "PrintedYelp.com" name. This way I'll avoid the greatest legal concern and "abstract" the site to enable prints from other review sites.
Also, I will contact Yelp and let them know what I am doing.
Prints with frames are definitely high on the list. I just need to source some good frames, try them out, etc.
I wonder if you make the stairs just incrementally more interesting to use, would a lot more people use them? That is, people have a tendency to follow other people. So, for example, all you need is to do something that generates [initially] 10% more interest and you'll get 50% more usage (if that makes sense).
Great! Now gmail needs to make the "conversations" view optional and give me the ability to view my mail just like any other e-mail client (that is, without automatically combining unrelated e-mails into the same "conversation" just because they share a subject line).
Is there a legal way to sell used digital books or used digital music?
Like some app where you identify the mp3's that you'd like to sell. The price is half of itunes. When a user buys it, the app "permanently destroys" (yeah, yeah, i know) your copy of the mp3 and transmits the mp3 to the buyer.
Re-selling goods is a long-standing fixture of the economy. Doesn't it apply to digital goods too?
In reading the Kottke thread for about 30 mins (it rules), I just had this thought: What if Michaelangelo (or some other prolific inventors) weren't that special. What if they were simply average Joe's like you and me that were transported back in time. They used their basic knowledge of stuff around them to "invent" things.
Is there a web app that makes it easy to comment on single lines of text (or, say, a paragraph) on a web page. When you visit a page you can see all of the little in-line notes and comments that others left behind?
Robert Cialdini covers a similar experiment with turkeys in his excellent book, "Influence - The Psychology of persuasion"
For example, mother turkeys, who are known to be caring parents (as far as birds go), tend to respond only to the "cheep-cheep" sound of their chicks.
"Hearing the cheep-cheep, the mother turkey coddles and cares for the young turkey chick. It is a short-cut response that nature has given turkeys to know how to behave. It tends to work well in nature. But, tricky scientists recorded the cheep-cheep sound and placed the recording into a stuffed Polecat, the natural enemy of the turkey, and found that the mother turkeys adopted the stuffed polecat. Coddled it and cared for it."
