Having spent the last couple years developing a bookmarking / archiving service which is somewhat similar to Kippt (as well as Historious and Pinboard + Archiving) I'd be interested in knowing what other tools you've found th

DuckDuckGo uses more than just Bing for it's search backend [1], however I wonder if their other sources are enough to compensate for the potential loss of Bing. [1] http://help.duckduckgo.com/customer/portal/articles/216399-s...

I'm a developer at the company who makes Interstate53, and I have to say your comment made me smile. I assure you we're not logging any credentials and strive to keep our users happy. It's been a really fun project.

Sounds a lot like me for a perfect use for a Mac Mini Server or Pogoplug.

It would be a great open source project. What is your plan for the site? What "niche" are you targeting and what is your goal with the site?

Is there a way I can input burritos? I entered my address, and nothing came up. There's a great hole-in-the-wall not to far from here that'd be perfect.

I see what you're saying... So you are saying that because facts are so hard to find, and bias is all over, it would be helpful to point out bias for the sake of clarity? I like the sound of that, thanks for the tip.

What aren't I tricking myself into thinking?.. That I would like to make the news as non-biased as possible, that I'd like to use bullet points, or that I'd like to use facts?

I unfortunately don't live in the Bay Area. I live in Sacramento, and have had the pleasure of going to the Googleplex, but unfortunately couldn't make it there. Thanks for the link, though.

I personally HATE social networking in my news. That is, for example, you going to the Huffington Post and seeing Facebook Connect buttons, as well as Twitter / Google / Yahoo! login buttons. However I do think that the idea of use aggregat

Yes, my "how do I..." question was retaining to all of what you said. Support, attention, users, contributers. I know how to do the site, front and back. I know how to host. I know where to host. I was simply looking for feedback on those q

I like the sound of that. I have done PHP / MySQL, and learned Django before jumping ship to Ruby on Rails. I'm now exclusively Rails, but also have toyed with C# in the past. As for projects, I have many ideas in my arsenal but as of now o

Yes. I want to use a news source that is built mainly around bullet points, short sweet facts. A news source that provides resources for it's users to do it's own research, but not overwhelm them. I can't find this. So I am considering buil
