Pivot: measure - and rank - how fast a person can shake their iPhone.


I decided not to renew vyrle.com a few days ago. It may be available on godaddy if you like it.


It's yours. Just emailed you.


Vyrle.com.

Email me if interested.


In.


Interesting. How strictly can you filter the respondents using Mechanical Turk? And is it only by demographics, or also by interests and other criteria?


Sorry if I wasn't more clear - I'm not actually sure how granular you can get with mturk.com. I don't think their filtering is that exhaustive. If I lived in the US, I'd be able to try and let you know though!


Reverse Craigslist - Allow a user to enter an anonymous Craigslist email address (that they had previously replied to) and their city, and then return the post that contained the email.

The reason being: When looking for something on Craigslist, I often send similar emails to several potential sellers. But then, when they reply, I have no way of knowing which posting was theirs (and the link to it). (Of course, you could contain the link to the posting you're referring to in each email, but that's a hassle that I'm sure most forget to do.)


You can just enter the url of the Craigslist post at the end of your mail.


If you click the mailto link in the listing (not copy and paste it), your email will be pre-populated with title of the listing as your subject line, and the URL in the body.


@AwesomeReminders: You might consider offering AwesomeTextMessageReminders at a reduced rate. Either custom text, given by your customers, or something like: "Hi John. Someone who knows you told me you were awesome. Have an awesome day."


Wouldn't this get old real quick? Like after one message.


To be fair. The current concept would appear to have this flaw as well.


Yeah, but the voice service probably does better at hacking your brain's social interaction coprocessor.

They could send MMS with audio attachments instead.


Facebook is Facebook's greatest threat. Consider Myspace: it was largely because they let their product deteriorate that users switched to Facebook.
