Thanks :-)

The averages are calculated based on the users of the app, so the average is actually the "Average of other people who use the app". The first time i ran this app, the average sat at around 400 while the min was around 30 and max well over 2k.

I actually have a basic URL i've setup which shows the performance stats of how the app is running, its an interesting watch.

If you hit the URL for the old version of this app ( http://mouseofdoom.com/wimf_v3/admin.php?graph=engagement... ) you can see that the number of new subscribers sits at around 10% of the current base.

Fun times :-) Thanks again!

Email address is used to send you a daily report of changes (if there are changes) they're not stored or used for any other means.

Post to your wall is how the app spreads, but you can disable that if you do not like it :-) There is an option in settings once in the app.

You did pickup on a known bug, if the worker processes are very busy they can takes around 30 seconds to display your stats the first time. If you re-visit the app your stats should be there.

Sorry for that. Also please see the blog post we created yesterday, didnt think to post that here. That is a good suggestion. http://bitchasscode.com/?p=111

lol...i wrote it, its not a scam its just an app. Few $ here and there from adsense and thats all i get out of it :-)

Post to your wall is optional (as is sending you an email), it can be disabled in the settings.

Re:Ask HN: Is Email translation a viable idea? on Sunday May 08, 2011 @09:13PM (#2527168)
Ive certainly heard of people who would use it, but there would be a lot of concerns around privacy and security of information. I personally think gmail has most of the market here by providing automated translations, the big companies who want something better (and are willing to pay for it) probably use their existing translation partners....

Although...honestly...id you can solve the privacy issue and make an experience where someone sends an email and selects the new language, and the person receiving the email doesnt even see it until the translation is complete...it could seem very seemless and accurate, people might love it. I would, if i needed it.

Cloud Hosted Minecraft servers

Hey Guys,We're launching a new startup. Hosted minecraft.Let us know what you think. We were playing this around the office and with friends and found it horribly frustrating. Over time we ended up building custom tools to manage the servers and figured, this is something other people would probably enjoy.So here it is!www.hostedminecraft.net

Delete,block,reactivation checker/monitor app for Facebook

A quick little app i've worked on. Asks for a lot of permissions (offline access - needed to get your friends list on a cron to notify you of changes, post to wall - can be disabled within the app, and email address - can be disabled within the app) but doesnt abuse the permissions at all.<p>just looking for thoughts, i know its a bit of an evil app but it seems to be something people...
