    I'd say this is a nice little cheatsheet. Which is useful at times, but I agree - this title is misleading. Edit: The far right has a key, and just below is a box that has a few un…

    well, now that swell is shutting down it might make sense. But I'll miss the variety that I get from swell :( http://techcrunch.com/2014/07/28/apple-to-buy-swell-for-30-m...

    I've thought about doing something like this for a while, but on a more dynamic level. More along the lines of capturing check-ins from Facebook and Foursquare as well as other lif…

    Well done guys! Having played with it early on, I can see that you've done a lot to make it even easier to use. I love the custom metrics too, we'll be looking at how we can incorp…

    I've been playing around with this for a little while now and it seems like a great service for the status page itch. One that we weren't scratching very well in the past. I haven'…

    As a general idea of routing all traffic through one point, yes. However, as a marketing tool to track traffic, they are quite valuable. Sadly, optimal network routes and other con…

    We just started playing with this, it seems like a great alternative to backbone for those who want a bit more of the common stuff done for you (esp data binding). Backbone is a gr…
