Is this actually an issue? I'm very doubtful.

- You should add custom page titles for each album, search result, etc. It's hard to figure out what's what in the Back menu in my browser because they're all the same.
- Would be nice to have a way to drag multiple songs, or an entire album into a playlist.
- When dragging, droppable zones (playlists) should highlight, and when hovering over them the highlight should get even stronger so I know it's ready to be dropped.
- History doesn't seem to work.
"Chart.js uses the canvas element, which is a single DOM node, similar in characteristics to a static image. This does mean that it has a wider scope for compatibility, and less memory implications than SVG based charting solutions. The canvas element also allows for saving the contents as a base 64 string, allowing saving the chart as an image.
In SVG, all of the lines, data points and everything you see is a DOM node. As a result of this, complex charts with a lot of intricacies, or many charts on the page will often see dips in performance when scrolling or generating the chart, especially when there are multiple on the page. SVG also has relatively poor mobile support, with Android not supporting SVG at all before version 3.0, and iOS before 5.0. (caniuse.com/svg-html5)."
Here's a short primer: http://www.gethifi.com/blog/javascript-templates-and-how-we-...
There are various libraries you can use to make this easier for yourself. Underscore and handlebars are too good options.
But, now I've turned it back on. You might like it. Please send feedback!

It had stuff like:
- "Circles" aka, letting you group your contacts however you like and see what each group shared with you and share stuff with all your contacts or just certain groups.
- Feed and user discovery and recommendations. "People who read X also read:" and "Look who subscribes to this feed" type of thing.
- Keyboard shortcuts, auto discovery, opml import/export etc. All the usual feed reader stuff.
Check out this old intro video I made for it (social/interesting parts start around 1:40). The design in the video is out-dated though, it ended up looking like this, http://feedeachother.com/screenshot_500.png. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1Ltwh4AO_w&feature=youtu...
Maybe I should turn it back on? Any takers?
For each costume, break it down into its components.
Clark Kent: black glasses, superman t-shirt, fake press pass, black suit. (Basically just tags)
Then allow someone to input all the random crap they have laying around their house and you can tell them which costumes they can create from that random crap.
It's like an ingredient based recipe search engine, but for costumes. http://allrecipes.com/Search/Ingredients.aspx
"What science is, I think, may be something like this: There was on this planet an evolution of life to a stage that there were evolved animals, which are intelligent. I don't mean just human beings, but animals which play and which can learn something from experience--like cats. But at this stage each animal would have to learn from its own experience. They gradually develop, until some animal [primates?] could learn from experience more rapidly and could even learn from another’s experience by watching, or one could show the other, or he saw what the other one did. So there came a possibility that all might learn it, but the transmission was inefficient and they would die, and maybe the one who learned it died, too, before he could pass it on to others.
The question is: is it possible to learn more rapidly what somebody learned from some accident than the rate at which the thing is being forgotten, either because of bad memory or because of the death of the learner or inventors?
So there came a time, perhaps, when for some species [humans?] the rate at which learning was increased, reached such a pitch that suddenly a completely new thing happened: things could be learned by one individual animal, passed on to another, and another fast enough that it was not lost to the race. Thus became possible an accumulation of knowledge of the race.
This has been called time-binding. I don't know who first called it this. At any rate, we have here [in this hall] some samples of those animals, sitting here trying to bind one experience to another, each one trying to learn from the other.
This phenomenon of having a memory for the race, of having an accumulated knowledge passable from one generation to another, was new in the world--but it had a disease in it: it was possible to pass on ideas which were not profitable for the race. The race has ideas, but they are not necessarily profitable.
So there came a time in which the ideas, although accumulated very slowly, were all accumulations not only of practical and useful things, but great accumulations of all types of prejudices, and strange and odd beliefs.
Then a way of avoiding the disease was discovered. This is to doubt that what is being passed from the past is in fact true, and to try to find out ab initio again from experience what the situation is, rather than trusting the experience of the past in the form in which it is passed down. And that is what science is: the result of the discovery that it is worthwhile rechecking by new direct experience, and not necessarily trusting the [human] race['s] experience from the past. I see it that way. That is my best definition."

"I can also define science another way: Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts."
The question is, why don't we all just use that? Is the interface really so much worse than SMS?
Update: This one might be even better: http://www.27bslash6.com/overdue.html
New content started to slowly trickle in. Eventually search engines found the existing content. That search traffic led to more submissions. Rinse, repeat.
Most of the traffic comes from search now. Apparently people search for "is it normal that I ____" or "is it normal to ____" a lot. I didn't really anticipate this when I started the site in late 2004, but I guess I got a bit lucky with the name in that regard. However, if I had to do it all over again I'd probably pick a subject matter that's easier to monetize. iPods and cars instead of fetishes and phobias.
