I agree with the "it's just a tool" sentiment in general, but what other great alternatives are there? I haven't had a favorable experience with SOAP, so I can understand why people think REST The Best Thing Evar. This…

This is what I tell myself, but I continually hear stories (friends of friends, of course) of people hitting it big and wonder if I just don't get it.
Cool idea! Is it mainly a science/tech directory, or do you plan on incorporating other online learning resources (like language learning sites/books/etc.)? It looks like mainly Khan Academy results show up for me.…
A manager from Namecheap said that there's a deal when you transfer 50+ domains. You might be able to work something out with them for 20+, but the manager didn't respond to a request for a 43 domain transfer, so it…
