These are totally items that you buy and then a year later -- when you see them collecting dust in a corner -- you ask yourself, "why did I buy these again?"

Very cool, yeah asked in my share of this whether they have permission to use the logos of the companies? Do they need permission?
- Kol Tregaskes
No I don't think they do because the Twitter and 'RRS' ones have gone. Perhaps it is a stock thing.

Nice programming exercise but you really don't want to count on this to wake you up. So many things can fail - your connection, your ISP, even your OS ... Nice for quick reminders to turn off the oven or something.
- Yuval Atzmon
atzmon, you can always use something for back up (or use this as back up to alarm clock, mobile, etc.,).

@Orli -Yes))

Well, if I use another (more reliable) device then this web app is redundant. Nicely done though.

Brilliant. During exam time I set up as many alarm clocks as I can. Gnome Alarm, Amarok, my iPhone, physical alarm clock, and now... kukuclock. When 4 months of grueling work comes down to waking up at 7:20 am... the more clocks the better :)

Still crying after watching this video and so angry at my self-absorbed life complaints. Today, right this very moment, this video has changed the way I view life.
- Janet
Very inspirational. The guy has done amazing things, and I definitely get the message - right up until he starts in with the evangelism. Is it just possible he could have achieved the same things on his own - or with a support system that didn't carry the Jesus branding?
- MaryB, BrandingBroadOfFF
Hi Mary, a heavy duty topic worthy of it's own thread, IMO http://is.gd/g3Ik
- michael silverton
Mary, I don't think it is a matter of Jesus "branding", it is his testimony, it is a genuine explanation of how he's been able to overcome his circumstances. I don't think Nick would be the man he is today if he would have "done it on his own"
- Kelly Johns

Tears in my coffee cup. Good way to start a day of opportunities for those with more. To whom much is given, much is expected. Thanks for sharing...awesome.
- Carl
Kelly, I suspect you're right. Especially since he's a preacher's kid. And I really do get that it can take a huge spiritual foundation to overcome big obstacles. But just once I'd like to see an inspirational story that doesn't turn out to be a lead-in to a Christianity message. Are we - as a culture - as Americans under the First Amendment - saying that nobody can overcome great obstacles who is not a Christian?
- MaryB, BrandingBroadOfFF
Let's see some examples of great inspiration from the secular world - or the other religious and spiritual traditions. For instance - Stephen Hawking has lived decades longer than anyone with ALS normally would.
- MaryB, BrandingBroadOfFF
Mary, Please rewatch this video, no where was this pushing a Christian message. I heard God, witnessing God. I believe this was more a faith in God, which is not exclusive to Christians. :)
- Janet
True. I made the mistake of watching a second video. And - the language in the first video is the lexicon of the Christian brand: witnessing, faith, God's plan. Witnessing and the idea of God's plan for a person or a community don't exist in, for example, Judaism, and the concept of faith in Judaism is rather nebulous, at least in the Reform tradition.

I think this fine. Like you said no one will pay, but it's nice in theory.
- loren feldman
I think they missed the boat not going with TipJoy, they could have the same functionality (well almost, Topjoy still needs the abillity to draw cash out instead of Amazon certificates) and drive traffic as well. TipJoy's use of donations as a social bookmarking vote is simple and brilliant.
- David Knight
Think all the celebrity stuff is too noisy!
- Roberto Bonini
I'd like to hope that people there will be equally generous -- maybe I'm underestimating people's willingness to pay for what could be free. Even so, it strikes me as a case where the site is potentially pulling in cash from the added traffic/ads/etc -- and the person who actually generated the content is getting none of that, instead receiving only what random donations visitors may or may not have chosen to give. Seems a bit unbalanced to me.
- JR R.
Im going to install it on my site. Will be interesting to see. I know the answer though.
- loren feldman
Loren, I'd be curious to hear what you find. Just to clarify, I'm in no way proposing that the tip system in and of itself is a negative -- just that on a major web publication, in the absence of any other compensation, it sets a dangerous precedent that could spread quickly. When fast food chains see that people will work at McDonald's for minimum wage, most tend to match that rate rather than offer anything more.
- JR R.
I agree JR its fine for Mom and Pop operations,or supporting artists, but on a "major" site it just looks cheap.
- loren feldman
Oh not again. Holy 2001, Batman. Didn't anyone learn from Amazon Honor System? Does this mean we can expect 20 new "social economy tipping" profiles that I need to generate and maintain to accommodate the explosion of tip oriented content that will fill my browser? If so, no thanks. Just put a nice note as your sticky article saying that you fund via ad impressions and would appreciate me turning off my ad block filters for this site. I'll just click your banner ads.
- Jay Cuthrell
no one will pay. It's a ploy from Salon so that they don't have to pay these people a decent sum. It's cheapskate and shoddies the Salon brand imo
- DC Crowley
I shared a link on FF on a similar but better looking online tipping service (is there a trend of leaving tips online or why do we have mushrooming of these sites?) http://www.tipjoy.com .

Office ban on social network sites is detrimental, says reports | IT PRO - http://www.itpro.co.uk/605229...
Stephen Cropp, Dave Roth, Owen and 4 other people liked this
"Both Gartner and Huddle.net have found that banning the use of social networking sites in the workplace could be doing more harm than good. ... Organisations should anticipate web participation “as part of the social experience and formulate a multilevel approach to policies for effective governance”, according to Gartner. ... “IT departments hear ‘Facebook’ and clam up. But there’s more to social networking than just consumer sites. Public sector workers already know that efficiencies can be made with using collaborative technologies for work, so it’s time that IT heads caught up,” said Alastair Mitchell, chief executive of Huddle."
- David Smith
If I where a manager I think that I would be pretty insulted if IT felt it necessary to ban my staff from using social media sites.
- John Cooper
I work in Egypt. In the company i work FB and even Mixx along with publica email access to sites like yahoo, and google except for 30mins break during lunchtime when everyone can use those. Interestingly, FF and Netvibes are not blocked, but that is because there is almost no awareness of those. Persuading IT to open at least Mixx was like talkng to a wall. No argument was good enough. They say it wastes time, no further discussion.
- Hayk H.
When sites are blocked at the corporate level, workers spend an inordinate amount of time trying to get around the blocks. . . like using the neighboring company's insecure wifi to get there.
- Dave Roth
One of the reports being cited is Huddle, a "business social networking developer." Of course they're going to conclude that. "Organisations should anticipate web participation "as part of the social experience..." Whoever said work was supposed to be a social experience? While I admit it might be handy to message someone occassionally, hanging out on Facebook, MySpace, FF, Twitter etc. is counter productive. How much work are you getting done? None.
- Fortunalee
from twhirl
Fortunalee: "Whoever said work was supposed to be a social experience?" — define "social" in a pejorative way & you'll not want it in the work place. I've never thought of work as other than intimately bound up with the "social": work is about interaction, teams, dialogues, collaboration ... Where I get to do a lot of that includes the sites you mention. You *can* waste time on such sites — but how many "strictly work" meetings waste time?! I find "social" sites very efficient and to the point.
- David Smith
There is no "right" answer on this. The sad reality is it's a no-win situation. You ban it and your workers hate you and get around you. You legalize it, and a lot of people abuse it. The VAST majority of workers have no need for social networking sites at work. People on FF may, but not the average person, including corporate IT folks.
