It's TypeRacer, but instead of being random quotes, it's code snippets! - Chris Thomson

An instance of Etherpad hosted by the guys at pbworks. - Chris Thomson

"The site looks amazing! Just a few minor things I'm not a huge fan of (but that's just me... i'm a picky person): 1. This appears to be a bug: on the "answer" page -- like http://www.mahalo.com/answers...? -- it says: "If your answer is selected as the best answer, you'll earn 0.30 Mahalo Dollars", but the actual tip is M$5.30 including team tips. 2. The ampersand symbol is showing up in its HTML entity form on the main mahalo.com/answers page, as seen here: http://img.skitch.com/2009121... 3. The word "question" at the top of question pages seems a bit pointless to me. Why is it so huge when the actual question is much smaller? I understand the question could vary in length, which is why it is positioned where it is and at its small size, but seriously: what's the whole point of the word "question" above the asker's picture? 4. There's still no indication of Mahalo staff members along-side their..." - Chris Thomson

Coolest pong game ever - it uses popup windows as the paddles and the ball! - Chris Thomson

It's great to see several blogging platforms adopting the Twitter API's structure. - Chris Thomson

Similar to Synergy... shares your keyboard and mouse with another Mac. - Chris Thomson

Another little easter egg from WP.com. In their terms of service, there's a treat! (Love the 'big ass orange' (their words) on their homepage, too.) - Chris Thomson

A URL shortener from Google. - Chris Thomson

Real-time collaboration tool. - Chris Thomson

Tweetie's the best! It has all of the latest Twitter features (native retweeting, geotagging, and lists) included in a very user-friendly way. - Chris Thomson

Really addictive! It's a good way to pass some time. - Chris Thomson

Love it. There's absolutely nothing bad I can say about this app. - Chris Thomson

Ramp Champ is a lot of fun. The Iconfactory is constantly coming out with addons for this game. Really well designed, just wish there was a leaderboard. - Chris Thomson

A bit slow to process, but it was well worth the wait. It suggested I switch from Google Public DNS to another provider, and it's quite a bit quicker! - Chris Thomson

Looks like a great way to discover new applications. Nice UI too, aside from this review box never using more than one line. - Chris Thomson

Really nice custom UI. It's custom, but it fits in perfectly with Apple's built-in style. Feature-rich, gorgeous app. - Chris Thomson

Works well. I like that it saves recordings if you don't have web access, which allows the app to identify the songs later when web access is available. - Chris Thomson

Good game. The graphics are pretty good, but they could be a tiny bit better. - Chris Thomson

Great way to discover new iPhone apps. Wakoopa's awesome. - Chris Thomson

Aardvark is *amazing*. It's really intelligent at automatically tagging most questions based on keywords that are part of your question, as well as quickly finding someone who can answer your question. The only thing I'm not a huge fan of is the web interface. The web interface seems a little too limited to me -- especially the data shared about other users (no profiles? boo). Thankfully, the IM interface is really, really well done. You'll never make a mistake with Aardvark's IM interface, unlike other IM bots. Also, unlike other bots, you speak to Aardvark with words, not numbered options. Aardvark continues to blow me away with how intelligent it is. - Chris Thomson

A patent from Mr. Jobs. - Chris Thomson

pure awesome. - Chris Thomson

His neighbour thought he saw this guy with a gun, but it was actually a lego gun. - Chris Thomson

sad. i loved etherpad. - Chris Thomson

Shortest URL shortener EVER. - Chris Thomson

Gmail's sending one free holiday card through snail-mail, from each person that requests it. U.S. only. - Chris Thomson

Steve listens. - Chris Thomson

@jack's new startup. - Chris Thomson

"Not necessarily. For the longest time, my school used IE6 on all of their computers. Last month, they finally upgraded! But surprisingly, they didn't upgrade to IE8, no, they upgraded to IE7." - Chris Thomson

whoa, in Japan they don't name their streets? crazy. - Chris Thomson
