Some interesting comments on that one if you want to waste a minute or ten.

@dfranke: Does this Aaron Swartz post answer your question? http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/smartabstractions

I agree with Aaron, but I don't think he'd go this far. Programmers concerned with performance need to understand caching and the cost of a cache miss. That's about on the same level as PB and his read heads. The level of detail in this article goes well beyond that and is unnecessary.

I wouldn't have used these words (that too in the home page): ecommerce, web2.0, Ajax, HTML, CSS, rich text editor, admin. Is it just for web programmers?

thanks for the input. i was a little too focused on developers.

How do BuzzTracker-style news sites work? Isn't it by reading the RSS feeds from other sites like Google News?

...and you don't need a good product to make your users love you. Orkut, for example.

"Makers of fine websites since 2007?" Write it only in 2057. Soy Division >> About "This is an example of a WordPress page, you could edit this ..."

I would recommend to get all these right before launching a product. It's all about user's trust.

it's a joke.

The last diamond (good story) makes it special.
