On: The App Store is slow, so I built App Store Insta...

I have 'instant' overload.

I'm going to make an instant instant searcher - it instantly searches for searches that instantly search.

[mgrouchy → leftnode]

http://macournoyer.com/instantinstant/ not quite the same thing, but an instant search for instant searches.

[leftnode → mgrouchy]

Hah, that's great. That's exactly what I was saying :)

[gojomo → jacquesm]

Time for a 'slow search' movement to go with 'slow food' and 'slow news'!

[ThomPete → gojomo]

I have been wanting to do a slowfeed movement for years

Assuming you're not simply being facetious, what would that look like?

Some sort of meta-rss feed that delivers a 'best-of' for weekend perusal? Perhaps it could be collated/curated and then printed in a handy offline version for weekend digestion?

It would look much different than "best of".

I imagine the principles to be

1. Look for weak signals (i.e. some random post about some random subject area)

2. Monitor to see whether it gains traction up slowly but surely (i.e. not your typical HN burst algo but something that might be months or years to pick up)

3. Deliver to user before it peaks but after it has reached some momentum.

My friend built http://ytsloth.com as a parody of my http://ytinstant.com.

Instant is good, but suddenly everyone's making everything instant instant now this ain't as interesting.

or do we really need everything to be instant?
