No, please don't change it that way! The best use case for this is sharing images quickly. If I can't trust that my http://homer%20simpson.jpg.to/ is going to be the same one loaded by my friend, then I won't share it with my friend. This could be pretty handy in it's current state.

Headline buries the lead, $4 million round! Great stuff. Very exciting.

Wow. Love the project

I like the idea... but a 1200 calorie, non-workout day had me consuming only milk for 3 of my 5 meals

Love the name. I've definitely taken a matchbook from a place just to remember it

Cool. I could use this. Gifts are cheap advertising. I signed up for my app, selfcompete.com
justinxreese | 15 years ago | on: Could Twitter be "MySpaced"?
There is a mentions section that lists all of your replies. And you can have any mentions text messaged to your phone.
justinxreese | 15 years ago | on: Introducing Prompt. Nice SSH for iOS.
It's definitely one of the prettier SSH apps, but it faces the same barrier I've seen with other SSH apps - typing is too slow! It will sometimes be a full 2 seconds between when i finish a word and it starts appearing on the screen.
Has anyone else noticed this or found one that doesn't do this? I'm doing this on iPhone, maybe the iPad is better, but I don't see any reason why.
justinxreese | 15 years ago | on: Ask HN: What are your side projects?
I'm building something of a portfolio project in my spare time. Something to show to potential employers and myself that I have the ability to make a robust web application.
It is called http://www.selfcompete.com and, even though I'm doing it as a learning experience, I think it has the potential that it could gain some users because it's a lot of fun to use. It is a web app that provides a way to measure (and kind of brag about) your personal bests. I wrote up a blog post explaining a little more of the idea behind it : http://dashdingo.org/post/4273080092/what-is-self-compete
You can contact me through the email address in my profile or twitter, where I have the same username.
justinxreese | 15 years ago | on: Startups: Don't just collect my email address
I'm one of those Launchrock sites (http://www.selfcompete.com - plug :/)! Although I've only been collecting email addresses for a little over a month, I'm going to follow up on this advice sometime this week. It's a very reasonable suggestion and as acangiano suggested, keeping the list warm is important because I know I've received emails from things I don't remember signing up for.

- Look at compete.com traffic estimates
- Extrapolate
- Make assumptions based on extrapolation
- Write sensationalist headline
justinxreese | 15 years ago | on: Twitter removing the #dickbar from the iPhone app
"we will frequently experiment by trying new things, adding new features"
I can't remember any features that were tested publicly and weren't kept. Can anyone help me out here?
justinxreese | 15 years ago | on: Poll: How fast do you type?
Not as fast as I think unfortunately

Great for forrst, well deserved, even if this is yet another article that pretends forrst is for designers only...
Us devs are on there, I promise.

Expected an article from 4 years ago...

I like it. The only thing that bothered me was that I couldn't find the prices. But it looks like that is because the prices don't exist yet.
I would definitely look at using this, but only for a pretty serious application. Nothing I've worked on so far has required that level of authenticity, or verification of a working phone.
