I made this small page because I want to know whom I have blocked (I found out I accidentally blocked 5 [edit]). It's simple but you have to risk your Twitter password if you don't know who I am. However you can directly download the JSON or XML via Twitter API. It's not fancy just a practical tool.

And I think I might be top 3 of Most Blocking, I have blocked 161 so far. I guess I really enjoy blocking people. ;p

I created this website because I do not know why should I follow when someone tweets a list of Twitters for #FF (Follow Friday). Why would I follow them if I know nothing about them. So if we have a website which have testimonials, then you can get a better idea about this Twitter you are about to follow. You can also make a list of twitters and post with #FF, so people can read your testimonials and know why you recommend those Twitters.
- Yu-Jie Lin
This is a sample page for tweeting "#FF @postsecret @cookingupastory @claraskitchen @ImprovEvery http://j.mp/5Ikq95" My followers can check out that link and read the testimonials I have written about those four twitter users.
- Yu-Jie Lin
I revamped it a bit. Please go check it out. I am looking forward to hearing anything from you and read your testimonials. It's easy to add one, just tweet "blah blah blah #twimonial @someone" then Twimonial will pick it up and add. No sign-ups, no authorizations required. You can compose your #FF list and Twimonial will generate a tweet for you to tweet. Give it a try, thanks!

They have different user bases (bob in identi.ca may not be bob in twitter), I don't see if there is a reason to put them together. I don't want to increase the size of datastore. And I thought that might violate TOS because the code is almost the same, but I think again, it should not be a problem since they are not the same app even the code is almost the same.
- Yu-Jie Lin
Ok, I get that you want separate apps for separate user-bases (although I'll note that they do overlap somewhat), but I still don't get your concern over the TOS. What's wrong with having multiple copies of an app?
- Michael R. Bernstein
I think you can not have multiple copies which serve for same purpose on GAE under your account, but I am not quite sure now. As for overlap... I am too lazy to code for the overlap. :) (That's my main reason that I want to have a separate app, it's easier to code.)
- Yu-Jie Lin
As far as I know, Google frowns on using multiple app instances to get around the quota limits. Is that what you mean?

ZooBorns: Baby Beluga at Shedd Aquarium - At 6:36 AM yesterday morning, Chicago's Shedd Aquarium welcomed a bouncing baby beluga calf to 23 year old mother, Puiji! Approximately 5' 4" long and 162lbs., the calf has been determined to be male. For many baby animals, the first few hours, days and even weeks are a critical period and during this time... - http://www.zooborns.com/zooborn...
A twin of Twimonial (http://friendfeed.com/google-...), the code base is almost same. PS. this is a rush release (5 hours coding), if you seen any problem, please let me know. [reposted to right groups]

Don't know about Collecta and its API, but can we choose a topic?
- Yu-Jie Lin
Not yet, there are a couple of other improvements I want to make first. Note that the code is open source if you would like to make improvements.
- Michael R. Bernstein
Can I pull the source from a repository?
- Yu-Jie Lin
OK, so to date, no one has expressed much interest in the source. I haven't put these projects up on a project-hosting site largely because my favorite one (Google Code Project Hosting) won't accept AGPL-licensed code. And I haven't found a second choice I like. Do you have any preference?
- Michael R. Bernstein
I absolutely hate all the SF-derived sites, including Savannah.
- Michael R. Bernstein
Launchpad is a possibility. Strange I hadn't considered them for this. Hmm.
- Michael R. Bernstein
Is there any reason that you have to license under AGPL? I like Google Code's interface.
- Yu-Jie Lin
Curious as to why you don't like SFesque sites? and AGPL is a necessity because?
- Itachi
@Schadenfreude, I don't like SF, either... it looks so complicated.
- Yu-Jie Lin
Schadenfreude, the design and organization of SF gives me hives. And AGPL is the license I've chosen to release my code under.

It doesn't work on my Firefox 3.6 beta/Mac. Don't know why. It does work on Safari.
- Meryn Stol
Meryn, do you have Flash blocked? The app uses a small flash file as a proxy to get around same origin policy for XMLHTTPRequest (necessary to set up the XMPP PubSub subscriptions).
- Michael R. Bernstein
Michael, yes I have Flashblock installed. Butt for Safari I have "ClickToFlash" (which does about the same) so I thought it couldn't be that. Seemingly the flash file you use gets through ClickToFlash's filter. You could consider showing a notification if flash isn't loading right.
- Meryn Stol
The flash file is inserted dynamically, and isn't visible in any case.
- Michael R. Bernstein
Your request for user notification is well taken though. Thanks!
- Michael R. Bernstein
After saw Michael R. Bernstein posting his creation. I think I should do the same thing for my app which I created last month, Let Secrets Out (http://letsecretsout.appspot.com/), which is a place to let you post your secrets anonymously. PS. you may have seen a similar post at Appetite ( http://j.mp/8fEolH )
I think I should list some things it uses because this is App Engine group. LSO is really not an advanced app. It uses bundle Django 0.96 + i18n, Gravatar, Disqus, Google Translation API for language determination. I think that's all. And anything about it would be welcome... especially your secrets on LSO! :)
- Yu-Jie Lin
It has all features I need. Nothing less. Yes, MS Office has more features and looks fancier, perhaps works even better. But it does not support Linux. Period.
- Yu-Jie Lin
It's an awful website, I tried to prevent clicking on searching results. But sometimes, I still got into this useless website. I hope Google could provide a whole site blocking in searching results.
- Yu-Jie Lin
This is my latest webapp created using App Engine. It is a place where you can posts your secrets. One reason I created it is for posting my own secrets, but it does not have any secrets right now, therefore I couldn't post or people would know the first one is mine. Anyway, if you happen to have a secret, please go to post. (Hope you won't get 500 error, it's not tested on production server)

Hey interesting and cool idea, like anonymous confessions and missed connections in Craigslist?
- TrafficBug
for both, yes. LSO can be used in both ways as long as it is a secret. I have never known this _missed connection_ on Craigslist. Looks like an interesting place to read.
