Really cool idea! The homepage is immediately showing me sales around me. Will be using it more :)

TweetHit (http://www.tweethit.com) - Tracking the most popular products on Twitter

And PerformanceEngine, the layered storage library (local instance cache, memcache,datastore) that powers TweetHit. (https://github.com/ocanbascil/Performance-AppEngine)

I'll probably submit it as a Show HN thread but until then, any early feedback would be helpful.

I'm making an application for small businesses to select, edit and print their own gift certificates:

I'm spending an awful lot of time writing content as a SEO strategy. It does take time to climb up the ranks of Google but it's a worthwhile investment!

Well, let's see: - http://www.tether.com/ - http://www.compilr.com/ - http://www.wakeful.com/ - http://www.spyreveal.com/ - And a video game! Yes, I'm still sane...

Wow - 5 things at the same time... makes me reevaluate my lethargy not to start working on a second project at the same time... How do you cope working on 5 different things? Any project that gets time priority?

Digital Signage with a focus on local events and information. It will be a centrally managed network of LCD TVs that are playing local news feeds, weather, realtime updateable ads. The host business will also be able to add content of their own. All of it is played back in glorious 1080. I'm also planning to incorporate SMS coupons and advertising as well.

My am installing my first display on Friday at the local bowling alley.
