I've been developing ChatStats for the last couple months.

It's a new iOS app to generate up to 22 different statistics from WhatsApp chats' histories.

With it, it's possible to find out who sends more photos and videos, who nags everyone with voice messages, who is crazy about sharing links and who writes more emojis than actual letters. Also, who we'll finally discover who's winning the Sticker Battle?!

ChatStats also analyses time of the day groups gets more attention or on which days of the week they are more active.

Privacy has been a core value of ChatStats since the beginning of its development. Even though the user must export his WhatsApp history file and import it on ChatStats, the app does not store the content of the messages or any related metadata in its database. Also, no information ever leaves the user's phone, since the whole process is perfomed locally and the imported history file is removed after the statistics have been generated.

Currently, it's available on all countries that have english, portuguese, spanish, french or italian as a primary language. I'm working hard on adding new languages to v1.1.

Even though I also find it very suspicious that WhatsApp keeps proactively badgering me about turning backup on, I don’t see how this could be exploited by Facebook as the messages are stored in iCloud and Google Drive which it can’t access.

Apparently, Valve told Reuters it had disabled the in-app purchase options, and still got canned.

Trying to raise awareness to the fact that Apple's battery letter is only available on the american store. We in Brazil already experience absurd prices (a battery replacements costs R$ 449,00, equivalent to US$ 136,41), but I doubt will see equivalent reductions...

Isn't it possible to use app.net to build an Instagram-like network without this whole monetizing problem?

There's the new MailPilot http://www.mailpilot.co/

Brazilian here, and I have to agree with you on that. It's so bad to start a company here that many start-ups are going to other countries trying to ease their way. Taxes and bureaucracy are insane here.

I really thought the f/2.4 was a killer feature on that new iPhone. Surprisingly, no one cared.

No it isn't. Following up on your post, which is btw, great, I'd add Mission Control also breaks my use of Exposé.

On Snow Leopard, most of the time, I used only one space and, as I've been using it on a 13.3" MBP, my windows were always using most of the screen and I usually have more than one window of a given app open at the same time (Finder or Text Wrangler for example).

To see multiple app windows, my workflow was: 1. Swipe four fingers down (gesture for Exposé); 2. Select any window of any given app.

Now, I must use Mission Control: 1. Gesture for Mission Control; 2. Select the app; 3. Gesture for Exposé; 4. Select my window.

What used to take 2 steps, takes four.

This is really great! After 5 generations, the algorithm gets the wheel positioning/size right. In a few more, it figures how the lower middle portion of the car should be.

I'm in the 9th and I've already seen it go past 150.

And they dig deeper on their stupidity hole...

This is gonna be good.

The guy on this article insists that any user must use all of the available sharing option (like, share, share with note, email and comment) and that is, obviously, not the point. The idea is to allow user to share whatever they want using the way they want to.

* For people who don't use reader: email it;

* For articles no one has shared: share with note and express your thoughts;

* For items already shared: share and input a comment with your thoughts;

* For things you like but don't have much of an opinion: like it.

It's naïve to blame Google for trying to make one of its services more social, as this is the way people want it. I'm glad they implemented all those sharing features. Now I have access to lots of interesting news, and can also share them easily without all the "emailing" hassle.

Personally, I don't care whether or not I see, here, things that are already hot on other networks as I only use this one.

The way you said, would require much more effort compared to posting links to the interesting news you received on your feeds.

Most of the links I see here are completely new to me.

It is changing. Canonical's CEO (Mark Shuttleworth) said their aim is to deploy interfaces as good as Apple's.

What do you say about projects like GnomeDo with great interface?

I'm supposing Android's interface is customizable, so HTC managed to build a whole new experience on it.

Actualy, Android's interface on the recently released HTC Hero is far better than iPhone's.

Android's the future.
