I'd like to invest in your startup. Would you be willing to implement Social networking features, file sharing (with intelligent auto-removal of copyright infringing material) and live micro-macro-socio-splogging?
Given that you spent 5 hours on this so far, I reckon you'll be able to implement these features in another 10. I'm willing to invest $5 for 40%. Interested?

I clicked it and when I found out others have already clicked it I felt cheap and used.
I clicked it several times. The fact that other people had clicked it too made me feel like I belong to a community, like there are people out there who care about me and my button-clicking.
So, why are you sending the coordinates of each click back to the server? I'm sure it would make a nice looking heat map, but is there some other reason?

37 signals provides products that people pay for and get value from. Your button adds no value, has no stickyness, and is not something people will pay for. I think your "product" here is just creative trolling.
Maybe it would help if you thought of it as an art project instead. In any case - and I hope this doesn't come off as trolling - isn't creativity exactly the sort of thing us hackers should be striving for? If you measure success in terms of "mak[ing] something people want" then I'd call this a success, if only a small one. For whatever reason, people sure do seem to enjoy clicking that button!

We need to get this code threaded...
#!/bin/sh n=10 while [ $n -ge 0 ]; do sh -c "while true; do curl -d submit.x=1 -d submit.y=1 -b clickthatbutton=10521 http://clickthatbutton.com/; echo; done" & n=`expr $n - 1` done Change "n=10" to change the number of concurrent requests. Anyone have a better method?
