I've heard that it's pointless and the name is horrible. Although I don't want to give up quite yet. Ideas for a better name / to make it more worthwhile would be great. Thanks.<p>http://dexjra.com/where_first
Clickable: <a href="http://dexjra.com/where_first" rel="nofollow">http://dexjra.com/where_first</a><p>Honestly, I'm not sure what the point is either, but it sure is interesting. Definitely something that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.
A bit strange but promising.<p>What can I say about a site where every couple of minutes spent on it I find something very interesting? Granted, some of those were tests of stuff I knew should be in the database, but it's still quite encouraging and the serendipitous discoveries were great.<p>Don't give it up yet unless you have to!
When I read the title I thought you made something that found the original source of a syndicated/re-posted article.<p>Anyway, since you have a database of submissions to HN, Reddit and Digg, there's alot of interesting things to do.<p>Off the top of my head, how about a side-by-side view of parallel discussions?<p>EDIT, some more suggestions:<p>Make a downloadable dump of your data at the end of each day. Would be useful for all the people scraping HN for their own purposes/websites.<p>Twitter would be more useful than Digg, although all the short-urls do pose a problem.<p>Your top15 page (<a href="http://dexjra.com/row_view" rel="nofollow">http://dexjra.com/row_view</a>) is strange. Why isn't HN there except the "First at Hacker News view" part?
