Facebook deleted us! Those bastards. Apparently we were in violation of their user agreement by promoting a website with our profile.
It’s not like we were going around spamming everyone - we just had a nice quiet presence and only contacted our “friends” once in a great while. Oh well… I’ll go and make [...]

It was a great year for Naperthrill.com! We had our share of setbacks in 2007 but in the end we got a lot of core features built, went live in July, made key improvements to our homepage and Yellow Pages, and started to make a name for ourselves by running around town with a camera [...]

I’ve spent most of this week making calls to bars, clubs, and restaurants around town to get them onboard with our first-ever New Year’s Eve Guide. We’re putting this together on kind of short notice (didn’t even think to do it until about 10 days ago), so it won’t be very fancy. It will, however, clue you in [...]

Dang, two whole months without a post. Well we’re back - hooray for us! I know, try to contain your excitement
So here’s the latest update…
You can now edit & delete classified ads and events… FINALLY! This might seem like a small thing, but if you were one of the people who posted classified [...]

As I was running around Naperville’s Last Fling with my crappy little digital camera last weekend, I was taking down email addresses so that I could let people know when their picture went live on the Naperthrill.com homepage. If you’re one of those people, I haven’t emailed you yet because we’re about to implement a [...]

It’s no secret that we’re a small operation, and being small is both good and bad. The upside is that we can make decisions quickly and we have the freedom to do absolutely anything we want. This freedom has allowed us to build a very good site and, going forward, it will allow us to [...]

I was at Starbuck’s in downtown Naperville yesterday. Didn’t need to pull out the laptop while I was there, but I know they charge for wifi access.
After leaving Starbucks, I stopped for lunch at BD’s Mongolian BBQ. Free wifi! Yeah, you don’t go to BD’s to drink coffee and read the Sun, but it’s the principle here that counts.
On [...]

If you’ve posted classified ads on Naperthrill and can’t figure out how to edit or delete your stuff, fear not: that functionality is coming soon!! In fact, it’s been under development for a little while now and we hope to have it available by the end of August. But wait! There’s more! Not only are [...]

So the other night I was feeling industrious and I fired off at least 150 emails to craigslist users who were selling stuff in Naperville. I was asking them to repost their ads on Naperthrill.com and on Monday I woke up to a bunch of replies saying that our classifieds wasn’t working!! Aaaarrrrgh.
The problem was [...]
