Microsoft's translator api -http://www.microsofttranslator.com/dev/


I put this together really quickly to keep up to date on the Japan earthquake situation from my Japanese friends. They post in Japanese which I can't understand, so by adding the hashtag #en the translator will automatically translate and repost the translated tweet to their stream. Hopefully this will help others out as well.


For those who don't want to setup their own vpn, you can try hotspotshield. It's free but they display a ad frame as you browse.

I setup vpn on my dd-wrt router.


I'm sure this is not the perfect answer since hotspotshield redirect somehow google search pages and force ads on every page. But you can get the ads away with a simple rule in .hosts file. Privoxy can add another layer of ad protection.


ArticleBody - Instapaper and Readability do this, but definitely can be improved.

AutoTagger - OpenCalais does this, again opportunities for improvement of course.

Still a nice list of ideas.


Consider this project http://github.com/marcuswestin/store.js as a fallback for browsers that don't support localStorage.


Show HN: ... might be a good start


Do you plan to add length? ie localstorage.length, etc. I'll like to implement this on http://readmelater.com

Looks great by the way!


But there is nothing under current offerings, any idea when it becomes available for participation?


Instapaper does not provide offline functionality except through their iphone app.

ReadMeLater allows any device with a browser that supports HTML5 to provide offline functionality.


Sure thing, email sent.
