Two critical things:

This solved the "Cannot start application" error for me:

@earth2marsh: sadly, this work-around no longer works.

I'd pay for Hulu just as much as I pay for over-the-air broadcasts... by watching the interspersed ads. TV shows are engineered to attract attention and funded by tagging on paid messages.

The EULA is a bit restrictive…

Did anyone else immediately think of the Google Chrome logo when they saw this pic?

In a similar vein is Friends on Fire, a Facebook app for Yahoo's awesome Fire Eagle to share your REALTIME location (smart privacy features) with your friends.

@Keror0: that would certainly work better because both the post's comments feed and the site's comments feed are a similar length. There's a much higher rate of turnover on the site's feed, therefore the window in which you'd score a "hit" is much higher. The problem is it's one additional step to subscribe to each

@Keror0: it's better than nothing-I've had five notifications in the last couple of days, and I've only commented on a couple LH posts. I probably wouldn't have returned to the site otherwise. (and Gawker folks, that's the key here-you should do everything you can to keep your customers returning to the site!)

@gStein: true, it would improve the sense of community! I'd think that personalized reply feeds should be an easy thing to add, then we could do away with these hacks.

@mahumphrey: I use jungledisk, which basically enables you to mount an Amazon's S3 bucket as a local disk drive. It will keep revisions of your files based on criteria that you set. It isn't free, but it's awfully cheap, and tremendously useful to me.

@Adam Pash: Thanks Adam-glad you enjoyed it! Next time I'll do a better job at communicating clearly via email. :)

@outlined above, namely that the RSS feed needs to be polled very regularly to ensure that it goes through the filters before other comments push it out of the feed. This is complicated by the fact that Pipes does some caching (an hour maybe?) of feeds, meaning you could easily miss it.

On a somewhat related note, I wrote a ubiquity command to visualize data in tables using the Google Charts API. So when I'm on wikipedia and looking at a table of countries, I can turn it into a graph right on the page: [chart.apis.google.com]

@Keror0: Here's your reply, but I didn't get a notification as I was offline when your reply was still in the queue!

@earth2marsh: forgot to mention that my pipe is user configurable, so anyone can generate their own rss feed without having to clone the pipe.

@Adam Pash: Here's a version that is not case-sensitive. (And hey, I sent you this pipe in an email on May 20, 2008!)
