Agree wholeheartedly. I’ve also been scammed by a third-party Amazon seller, and I half-wonder if they continue to allow third-party sellers as a way to further promote Amazon Prime — when you’re on Prime, you can simply filter out all non-Prime items. You know in your head you don’t have to deal with all the extraneous, spammy crap associated with non-Prime purchases.


Many third-party sellers are included under Prime though.


But presumably Amazon wouldn't send an empty box to the wrong address through Prime. You still have to worry about commingling, but it is still much better than straight third-party sales.


Fair point.


We once built a site (for a major consumer brand) where the client insisted on so many carousel slides that they started duplicating slides in the lineup because it had been too long since they’d been seen.

(Our recommendation was to avoid a carousel, but the client had to have it!)


Is the argument that Google doesn't index hidden text, or that Google penalizes the use of hidden text?

This experiment proves what we knew -- Google indexes hidden text; however, it doesn't prove or test what people want to know -- if Google penalizes results that hide text.


Yeah, ultimately this doesn't demonstrate anything. We know Google can index text if it's hidden - the only issue with hidden/obfuscated text is that if Google determines it to be so, there's likely an SEO penalty to be paid.

The searches done here are so explicit that all it's demonstrating is that pages that are indexed by Google exist in the index. We have no information on how that would compare against competition (poorly, likely).

And to boot, OP may have degraded his/her own blog's overall SEO.

In short: not very valuable.


Looks awesome! Font Awesome is awesome. Awesome.

I'm going to feel like a real winner when I deploy my application that uses Bootstrap 2.3 and Font Awesome 3 since the latest re-writes of both came out while I was 75-80% done with my project.


I wouldn't worry too much about being on Font Awesome 3, most of the changes are purely semantic.


Very true. We're also seeing CSS selector speed improvements of about 30% in webkit. Hoping to do a write-up soon.


Nice work.

My first reaction was, "Huh? Why not just use your phone's built-in Contacts?"

But then thinking about it for a minute and watching the very helpful video demo on the homepage...

I like how you can open the app and start entering info. Much better than fiddling through Phone or Contacts app. Really nice touch on including the location.

Seriously -- good job, Tommy!


Hey thanks! I'm sure a lot of people will have the same initial reaction - it's a very simple app that does, what I thin are, some very powerful things.


Related: "I don't have a Facebook" is the new "I don't have a TV." For some reason, those who either refused to sign up or chose to deactivate their accounts feel the need to share this with everyone everywhere.


And people that do use Facebook feel it their duty to post status messages everytime they take a dump. Who's the real ass here?
