This site is ugly.
Re:Ask HN: who launched something in July? on Monday August 01, 2011 @12:33PM (#2833027)
It's not a big project , nor something successful. It's a tool that was (and still is) supposed to help people find the Google+ profile of people they follow on Twitter (http://migrat.us).
Even if the results are not all accurate and that relying on gplus.to may not be the best solution, I get more results with it than with migratus, which is why I added a link to your app on migratus.
I don't think it's a problem at the moment, but it could easily become one when such tools become available to the public.

Though, I still think that an non-perfect tool as described above would bring much more value than what migrat.us brings with its 500~ users.

The new design is up.
A crawler offers no warranty that the Twitter username is legit.
By scraping all Google+ profiles, it would not solve the problem of fake profiles. Anyone could use your Twitter username and let your followers think they are you. With migratus, you are sure that the Google+ profile it gives you is the one provided by the Twitter user.
It's the numeric id only.
Re:Poll: Will keyboards still be around in 20 years? on Thursday January 06, 2011 @04:18PM (#2077223)
Yes, but they won't be traditional QWERTY keyboard. Ergonomic keyboards (like the Kinesis Advantage) will replace traditionala keyboards and the QWERTY layout will quickly disappear.

I also think that both physical and virtual keyboards will disappear from mobile device, since it makes no sense to use a layout designed to type with then fingers on a tiny screen.

Am I the only one to find this UI inconsistent and ugly?
