After I started posting "Stories" with Facebook, which shows you viewers as well as "likers", I was surprised by how many lurkers there really are. Even lurkers are very much Facebook users, especially when serving ads is concerned.

I like the list, but it would be nice to know the tech stack (if any) as well. As a back-end engineer in C# I know I'm a "minority" in the startups world typically. :)

A book popular in our industry is now a decade old.

Has anyone put the advice from the author Tim Ferriss into practice?

If so, how did you manage to do it and what have you learned from the experience?

A web app to manage human relationships. Reminders to ping people over varying periods of time, emphasizing note-taking to help stir up conversation topics.

I see myself using this in my personal life, with former business colleagues, as well as when job interviewing.

As an engineer looking to launch an app with a wide target audience, should I focus on marketing to individual niches and gain traction, or explain how my tool can actually help everyone?

Monkey Island 2: Lechuck's Revenge had a great demo as well. I might recommend adding that.

New comment by Dejital in "The Homely Mutt"

Dejital — Mon, 01 Oct 2012 15:58:47 +0000

I have spent hours and hours configuring my `mutt`, `offlineimap`, `putmail.py`, but I have since grown disenchanted. In my experience, `offlineimap` is annoyingly prone to crashing without any indication. Thus, checking mail within `mutt` becomes unreliable. However, my favorite aspect of `mutt` has been and remains being able to send e-mails very quickly and easily through Terminal.

    echo "Hello World!" | mutt -s "Test E-mail" -a "file.txt" whomever@wherever.com

Therefore, I now use `mutt` exclusively for sending mail and using Gmail.com for reading and searching mail.

Perhaps a more elegant personal wiki solution is Github's own gollum[1]. It supports markdown as well as a number of other formats.
