This is actually really cool :)

In other DZONE news...

1] I'm glad the upcoming screen shots were removed but I kinda miss them too, can't we have both? Maybe a tab to toggle between graphics and links? graphics weren't very practical but they were hella fun and super-pro result by whoever coded it.

2] The submit routine isn't catching duplicates. I've submitted 3 posts in as many days that were dupes. For a while there the submitter was working great. Now its not :-/

3] The last entry in the dzone blog was at Sep 26, 07:53 AM.

Going back to snippets for a moment, you might want to consider a paid service where programmers could cache original snippets for purchase, with dzone taking a small cut of course, maybe even a matchmaking service for contract work. Free is good too, but some snippets really are worth good money to the right people and I don't think anyone on the net is really doing this, at least not very well.

And going back to dzone (I'm almost done -- really) :) Our votes are bookmarks, we need a way to manage them please -- I know, even digg doesn't get this right, but one day SOMEONE besides del.icio.us is gonna get it right :)

Now we just need somebody to write a plugin for Eclipse, Visual Studio, and other IDEs similar to the one koders.com has.

Any takers? =)

I think the DZone team are going to have lots of ideas on this front and will probably implement a true API / REST interface to do this in future. Just a hunch. Currently it's rather Web-page focused.

It's a great site, good work.

Snippets was actually my very first posted link 147 days ago. Do I get a finder's fee? :)

And it was my vote that promoted it to the front page... I should get a finders fee too! =P

Sure you do. I have a DZone journal for both you and Lowell. Email me your address.

Red or blue?
