Other NoSQL databases may do the same. I’ve only used mongo in development so far, there may be more to learn to use it in production. And as Jason said, at this stage if your solution works that’s all that matters.

SkyBoard sounds interesting, is it different from creating a poll like twitpoll? I’ve used doodle.com a lot for scheduling meetings, their business model is similar to what you were discussing; it’s free to use but shows ads, there is a paid version for companies with no ads and their own branding.

Great show again, thanks!

As for a somewhat difficult programming logic learning game, have a look at CargoBot on ipad.

It would be nice to have something more in that area.

Hopefully the real site’s DNS should start resolving soon too.

@Jason – Justin forgot to mention that donation is earmarked for your iPad fund 😉

@Justin – I’m know you’re tired of pluggio, but I think app.net integration would be a good idea. Thanks to twitter’s api changes I had to get rid of IFTTT, and as a result I’m now using buffer to schedule updates (though I still use pluggio to watch my DM inbox and mentions, etc)

Also in support of app.net, it’s currently a marketer’s wet dream: (1) There are no API limitations. (2) the community is very targeted (all social media gurus and developers). (3) there are virtually no spam accounts since the audience is small. (4) People aren’t yet jaded and get excided when they receive a notification they’ve been followed.

The main argument against it is that since it’s so young, who knows if it’ll be around in a year.

I’d like to point out that there are over 20k accounts now. Every one of those people paid a minimum of $50 for the first year of service. If you do the math that’s at least $1M in revenue in their first few months of operation. They might be more profitable than twitter already!

Just sayin

@Justin – I’ll be glad to play with $$ 🙂

@Jason – what profiler did you used for Uber? I have a node app that spikes to 50% CPU suddenly and I can’t figure out why (used Nodetime and extensive loggin, but couldn’t find what might cause it).
