This is a perfect example of how fundamentally flawed modern SEO is. @ohashi has been producing the best hosting reviews in the WordPress ecosystem since forever. It seems like at some point in the past decade on page quality signals have b

Very interesting. I see lots of hate to CMP's here in the comments (which as an EU consumer I totally get) but I have to ask, what's the alternative? CMP's seem like the least worst solution right now (I'm sure we can de

Yes, but you've read Sendy is connected to SES right? So you're still getting the benefits of solid deliverability. Or are you saying SES deliverability is not as good as Mailchimp et. al?

Ah now that's a bit harsh. I thought it was pretty clear. Perhaps not getting to the point as quick as possible - but clear nevertheless.

It's very unlikely that page went live on apple.com as an error. I would imagine Apple control their public web presence very carefully. This will have the fan boys in an absolute tizzy if true. Perhaps he's just stepping down fro

I can't understand some of the comments here saying this is too expensive. Seriously folks, William has put together a great into to Bootstrap for a less than the price of a billable hour and it's too expensive? Sure all the infor

I'm not connected with anyone who works on gov.uk but I've been a huge fan of what is going on over there for some time. In my view it is without a shadow of a doubt the best digital government team in the world. They've asse

couldn't disagree more. Underneath the "frosting" of the design surface of this site is one of the best user experiences I've had on a government website in a long long time. As someone who is in the middle of building out a large governmen

this. I just started a new project in Foundation 3 for a public sector NFP that requires IE8 compatibility. Foundation 4 is pretty much not an option for me as a result. Guess I'm stuck with Foundation 3 for now.

I'm sorry that's a big step backwards. At a minimum you should have incorporated an adapative (which is what most people actually mean when they say responsive) grid like http://www.getskeleton.com/ into your redesign process. Does it tak

well that can't be good! domain not due to expire until 21 March 2013 so looks like their dns records have been hijacked per the original submitter. A records are still going to google for me right now.

Looking forward to seeing this. Was only thinking this vertical is ripe for someone to disrupt it with a more compelling service/price combo.

I'm sure Twitter must have looked at the possibility of rolling out the kind of features Nova describes in his post. Anyone who works with the twitter API for any amount of time can recognise the potential for pushing Ads down the API pipe.

yip - i listened to it again just now - while it is not uncommon for gruber to take like 3 mins to respond to questions on TTS I thought he was a bit hesitant with the "I guess so" - he must have known.

damn - that's a real shame. Listening to John and Dan shoot the breeze on any range of topics is/was one of the highlights of the week (podcast highlights anyway!). I'm assuming this wasn't a clean split given it was unannounced and given t

interesting - not sure if it's really needed though - I've used Redis and Resque before and found it's performance was blisteringly fast. (Resque was made by Github https://github.com/blog/542-introducing-resque )

As someone who has only dabbled with Obj. C but has 10+ years of traditional web dev experience this looks v. attractive. What am I losing by not learning Obj.C/xcode to build native iOS apps?

Very interesting. I have a project that I'm about to start which is going to have an index of 4 million plus data records where I need high performance faceted search. I was exploring using Solr but may now give this a look as I'm planning

I don't think Twitter is doomed - but I think they've been struggling to figure out their place in the world. I think this is starting to change now and would agree with many of the sentiments in the article - if not the hype re: it being b

as someone who has a good bit of asp.net and nginx experience - i never thought of using nginx as a proxy for ASP.net running on mono/linux - cool setup dude!

nice work! I see you're running nginx as your web server. Anymore details on the dev stack you used?
