I might actually use this... Markdown, Twitter auth, nice interface. Really low friction. Sticky domain name, too!

#32TweetDeck used to let you post long messages. Have they stopped doing that, or is Prolifi.cc trying to let you do something else?
There are quite a few long message services. Most (if not all) are plain text. Prolifi.cc allows styling via Markdown, images, etc. More of a proper article post and less wall of text.

So basically tumblr with zero sign-up?

#35Can it do code markup? I was looking for something the other day and I didn't want to set up my own 'blog'. Tumblr couldn't support Github gists for some reason, so really that' all you need.
Edit: On first glance, it doesn't seem to be able to embed Github gists. Darn.

#36What's the tech stack for this, if you don't mind me asking?

#37So. You created an application to blog and to be able to post that on twitter. I don't get why this is #3 on HN right now.

Hey now Accusey Adam (or is it Conjecturey Constance?), put down the pitchfork. There's no need to accuse people of sockpuppeting/gaming just because you don't like their project. It's hurtful to hear people call you a cheater when you just want to get feedback on your project.
Tamal has a pretty neat looking service (yes, one that's been done before, but still pretty neat). I've seen SPLASH PAGES with zero functionality get more votes on HN; why shouldn't Tamal get his 15 minutes?
Relax and watch the blinkenlights.

There is code markup, but no syntax-highlighting (yet).
Edit: Gists is a good one. Added to my to-do list.

#39What's the tech stack for this, if you don't mind me asking?
Rails on Passenger on nginx, omniauth for Twitter authentication, redcarpet for Markdown support.
