#2Excellent use of Fiddler... I'm going to try this on a few apps that have seemed terribly slow, even on wi-fi. I take that back: I need to use this with every app that I've been semi-trusting.
For development, this seems like a great catch-all tool to make sure expected best practices are actually working........ or if someone completely ignored them / forgot to implement.

#3As a developer, I am guilty of using flurry too much. But its just so damned useful to be seeing what your users are up to with your app! I am addicted to checking my flurry console every day and watching the event logs, looking at session lengths.. even the world map of users is something I can look at longingly every morning.

#5Quite funny from a chap who has google+, twitter, digg and facebook button on his page. At the very least, the facebook one tracks users even when they are logged out.
He does make a good point, re developers not caring about anything hidden behind the scenes. Good to see them being named and shamed.

#6Charles (http://www.charlesproxy.com/) is another http proxy that works well. It runs on Windows, Linux and OS X and can read Fiddler logs. I use it all the time to test my iOS apps and look into SSL traffic.

Actually, I find that to be creepy. You are basically stalking your users.

He appears to be using Blogger. Are those buttons forced on everyone using Blogger or is that something he would have added himself?

> iOS 5 does not allow UDID sharing
From the linked article:
> First off, let's clear up what it means for Apple to 'deprecate' this identifier. A deprecated function or software component is not yanked out immediately; it's simply been flagged by the developer of the platform (or app, command line tool, what have you) as something that will be going away in the future, eventually.
