Mary Had a Little Lamb http://goo.gl/doodle/3aEE

Works on my Android phone too, even the keyboard (Motorola Droid). Can't press the record button though.


They also say "Netflix cannot be the first word in the application name. It can be used in the naming of an app as “x for Netflix” or “x with Netflix”, “x’s Netflix Manager”, etc." http://developer.netflix.com/docs/Branding

In their approved App Gallery are apps with names like "My Netflix" and "Search for Netflix"


Thanks! I designed it so that the site can be used even if you don't have a Netflix account, but maybe that's a very small use case I can drop.

Ideally the page would be full of your friend's ratings, but yeah, I should fill that empty space with something if that's not the case.


Do you limit the number of photos? Seems like if the number of photos in the pool far exceeds the number of votes coming in, each photo would only ever have a handful of battles. I've build a similar voting system before but the purpose was to find a winner amongst all entries.


hey daniel, long time no see! we're probably going to cull the pics and delete the ones that fall below a certain elo/win/loss threshhold, so it should keep the quality of the pics high. and we can adjust the threshhold so that it keeps the total number of pics from getting too huge.


http://feedscrub.com is such a service


I moved noisy feeds out of Google Reader and into FriendFeed. I use the FriendFeed notifier http://friendfeed.com/about/notifier to have items popup on my screen in real-time. If you follow a few key people & feeds on FriendFeed, all the interesting news should reach you.

It's mostly invasive, and now I don't have to constantly check anything and I don't feel like I'm missing anything either. If it's important it will probably popup more than once. In fact, it's how I noticed this post http://friendfeed.com/newsyc


Here is the Facebook Developer blog post: http://developers.facebook.com/news.php?blog=1&story=246

I look forward to the day Facebook can totally stop managing passwords. That means my grandmother will be using OpenID.


Interesting that the results are given as an image: http://ff.im/2W5UQ You think they did that to stop screen-scraping?


I think it might be because the output comes from Mathematica's engine, and the best way to render various formulas, tables, charts, etc. is to just use the same graphical output.


That's the first thing I noticed too after wondering why the fonts were rendering so poorly.

This is bad for both accessibility and readability.


On my own blog, I almost went so far as to offload all comments to twitter. Basically, each blog entry would have a corresponding tweet that you would @reply to. But then I concluded that most people don't want their comments on blogs filling their twitter stream.


You can also add twitter feeds to Google Reader (Google apparently does not have to adhere to API limits). I do this for any twitter accounts <s>I stalk</s> that I don't want to miss.


Can you only add individual accounts? Doesn't seem possible to add all of the people I follow as a single feed.


I used this http://decafbad.com/2009/01/twitter-friend-faves-opml/ to create an OPML file, and then edited it so it contained status feeds instead of favorites.

I just stumbled up on this too, which is probably a better idea: http://www.voiceoftech.com/swhitley/?p=408
