Mary Had a Little Lamb http://goo.gl/doodle/3aEE Works on my Android phone too, even the keyboard (Motorola Droid). Can't press the record button though.

They also say "Netflix cannot be the first word in the application name. It can be used in the naming of an app as “x for Netflix” or “x with Netflix”, “x’s Netflix Manager”, etc."…

Thanks! I designed it so that the site can be used even if you don't have a Netflix account, but maybe that's a very small use case I can drop. Ideally the page would be full of yo…

http://www.friendsonnetflix.com About a year ago Netflix removed their friends feature, where you could see your friends' ratings. This was a great way to discover new movies, but …

Do you limit the number of photos? Seems like if the number of photos in the pool far exceeds the number of votes coming in, each photo would only ever have a handful of battles. I…

Only if I needed instant notification would I follow something in Twitter instead of a RSS reader (a steady news feed probably fits twitter better). It's actually much easier to mi…

I constantly had times where server load was going through the roof, bringing my site to a crawl or unavailable for hours. Support was responsive, but the problems never went away.…
