Lifehacker has their eye on Pointless Corp again, this time Adam Pash providing coverage. This week he wrote about HeyCraig, our super simple tool for getting alerts via email when new items go up on Criagslist. To quote Adam:
“Simple but useful — just how we like ‘em.”
Good thing, since that’s how we like to build [...]
Jason Fitzpatrick has a nice little write-up on Lifehacker called FeedStitch Combines Multiple Feeds Into One. Yep, good title — that’s the idea in a nutshell. Judging by the surge in traffic to the site and the increase in FeedStitch references on Twitter, I’d say a lot of people were paying attention. Thanks for the write-up, [...]

SpeakerRate is a community site for event speakers, attendees, and organizers. We’ve been all three of these at one point or another, and we felt that a site like SpeakerRate [...]
As you can see in a couple places on this site if you look carefully, Pointless Corp. is neither pointless nor a corporation. It’s a place where we folks from Viget Labs can get together to build little web projects when we’re not busy with client work. In some ways, it’s nothing new — like most consulting [...]
