instead of having separate image files for each logos, I would prefer two sprites(b/w & color) and apply CSS to reduce the number of HTTP requests.


Here's what I experienced:

1. Signed up using a dummy email address - just to test the service. Luckily(!), it logged me in without any email activation. Good that, there's a workaround to see the service without giving your actual email address.

2. The landing page page after I logged in was little confusing at first. There was a button to create list - but I was wondering why should I create a list first in a bookmarking service. Later, only after creating a list, the option to add an URL popped up.

3. Even before I create a list, I installed the bookmarklet. But when I tried to bookmark a page, the popup window was asking me to choose a list but I didn't have any. I thought from that popup I could create a new list, but I couldn't.

4. After logging out, I wanted to login again. Went to home page - but couldn't find any 'login' link. It took sometime to realize I need to enter my email address in the same textbox which I used to signup. Little confusing.


In India, there are lots of people who makes their living out of the money earned by helping people to fill out forms outside every Government office. And they are in this business not just for few months but for a long time.


exactly what happened to me. I had two for loops defined in my JS code which used the variable "i" without declaring. Hence, when the code ran, the second for loop behaving weirdly. It took sometime before catching the bug.


thank you.

//bot chooses randomly// that was the easy decision to make. Need to look further for any better decision making strategy.


Google Moderator can be used for getting idea feedback, though it won't generate good looking pages.

Simply great.

Feature request: If there's a slider with the thumbnails of all the textures which can be browsed in single page, that would make the searching easier, instead of clicking next page so many times!


You're forgetting that the webmaster wants fresh ads to be loaded.. :)


However they're not being a dick about it - they let you download the whole bunch of tiles as PNG and as a .pat file so you could just then use your file manager to scan the PNGs.

What you don't get then is the quick view of the tiles in use but it shouldn't take long to knock up a quick script that will take a directory of tiles and give you a block of bgs to look at.


1) To improve my writing/skills. 2) To reach out people of different countries/skill sets (which would have never possible/tough with out a blog) 3) To contribute back to the community. 4) To build a virtual identity of myself (when I meet some people for the first time, they usually start with "hey.. you write that blog, right!?)


'intent' worked well for me. With intents, it took only few lines of code to scan and de-crypt a QR image (thanks to zxing). Without intent, it would have taken weeks to implement such feature.


What happens if the app that provides that intent isn't installed on the user's phone? Are they prompted to install it?


No. The idea behind intents is that the calling app doesn't know (or care) who handles the action. You just fire off a message that says "Hey, someone handle this", and the OS takes care of the rest. You would need to prompt the user to install an app to handle the intent if they don't have one already.


I guess the intention is not to 'search' but to say that you love the terms you entered in the textbox. So, IMO the heart button looks very suitable for that.


Yeah I guess so. I seems to designed to give results for abstract things like "blue jeans" rather than a specific query like "nokia e65".


Indeed. Perhaps the better title would be "what do you care about?", "what are you passionate about?" or "what are you interested in?" Asking what people love doesn't really explain what the site is for.
