Create a link to target page on the actual title of the search result. That is more intuitive than clicking on the site name.
cnu··on My Five - if you could only follow five people on Twitter, who would you follow?
Great.

I didn't sign in yet, but wanted to know if you show a timeline containing only the tweets from those 5 users?

Edit: Grammar.

cnu··on Firefox 4 is here
Yeah. In chrome I can type just the domain (without the www. part). But FF (even with the urlbar.autofill property set requires me to type with www.

And in chrome I can do ctrl+shift+pageup/pagedown to move the tabs around. FF doesn't allow that.

Minor irritant, but thats what makes me like chrome.

You should also try to do twitter handle availability.

I think I saw a website long time back which checked a username availability across many websites and social networks. Can't remember it. Can someone help me out here.

cnu··on my 30 minutes project datetimenow.org
Contains too much text which is unnecessary.

All the explanation about UTC, GMT, DST doesn't need to be on the page where I come to see the time. The page for a timezone need to display only the local date and time and the offset from UTC.

The left side bar is unnecessary if the search bar at the top works as intended.

cnu··on My New year resolution: Release an app every month
1. For me "Apps" doesn't means just iPhone/Android apps. Right now, my skillset allows me to create only webapps :-), though I am thinking of using this "App a month" as an opportunity to learn to do mobile apps.

2. Sure, I have created a uservoice site. Please suggest ideas here http://appamonth.uservoice.com/forums/94045-general

Thanks a lot for the support.

cnu··on Happy New Year Hacker News, what are your plans for 2011?
