To play devil's advocate we still do not have that kind of "perfect" Linux distro. - Rick Cogley from iPhone

Devs in OSS projects generally develop features that they themselves would like to work on. - Rick Cogley

"I tweeted this three times over two days. Almost no re-tweets, no comments, almost no interest. Something weird is going on, I thought this would be big news....hmm." - Andrew Baron

"Great work Miles!" - Andrew Baron

Did you feel any different at any time over the last few weeks? - 1x29

Good point Val - Roberto Bonini

"Chris, spend some more time with the lists and reconsider later." - Andrew Baron

"I love both of you guys. And I think the lists feature is the biggest sign of brilliance that the Twitter team has shown since accidentally discovering the platform. Here is my comment: One of the best ways to understand people's social media content/activity is to understand how it is defined by others. Though clearly this can lead to erroneous results, its otherwise an awesome style of "filtering" information on a platform like Twitter. This is great for discovery. Its pretty damn deep actually, I think people will continue to understand more of the useful applications in due time. This is what Eric Schmidt is looking for when trying to determine page rank for social media, beyond simple follower counts." - Andrew Baron

Look at them sleeping. So daggone cute! - Hutch Carpenter

Bump for good times - Jesse Stay

"I was in a 5.0 earthquake in 1988 that originated in Pasadena [ http://www.data.scec.org/chrono_....... ], I was in L.A. and subsequently, after taking a geography class in plate tectonics, I am not interested in living on an active fault line. Other places are beautiful too." - Andrew Baron

"Mashable, would be cool if you include #beatcancer in the RT title so out of that 1000+ RT's you have there via ur retweet tweetmeme button, it would include the hashtag :|" - Andrew Baron

"Well, I wasnt being facetious, I know most companies have their pluses and minuses, and some I would never invest in due to moral reasons, just wondering if its moral, sentimental or a business reason?" - Andrew Baron

"Great post." - Andrew Baron

"If I recall correctly, you refuse to trade $apple? How come?" - Andrew Baron

"Forgot to mention using Twitter from a mobile phone. I think its safe to say more than a few people use twitter from their mobile phones. Here is a screen shot of a terribly sloppy problem which speaks for itself: http://twitpic.com/h1ayh" - Andrew Baron

"Steve, good point on the image size, I will reduce. Also, I agree and think Twitter's model of keeping the feature set minimal was a needed step for its growth, in order to engage all of the 3rd party business. Agreed, agreed, agreed. However, your arguments suffer from a fallacy called "Tu Quoque" which attempts to defend oneself or another from criticism by turning the critique back against the accuser. This is a classic Red Herring - attacking the size of my screenshots is entirely unrelated to any refutation of Twitter's design. Because Twitter has such a small feature set, for whatever reason, it should be easy to put the interface together." - Andrew Baron

"Oh you were clear all right. I was just thinking outloud, wondering how now home could equal timeline, a word that applies to every layout of tweets. A timeline of your tweets, a timeline of your friends tweets, or a timeline of AT complaints. This further suggests that there is a break down in the hierarchical structure of the navigation even in concept." - Andrew Baron

"Here's one for you. Have you seen http://business.twitter.com/twitter... ? I found myself at that funny link url when I clicked on "Business" in the footer. Once there, check out the logo (i think you could call it the logo) on the top left, it breathes for some reason and it's clickable to refresh the otherwise static page." - Andrew Baron

"WTF?" - Andrew Baron

"Twitter has such a simple feature set, you dont need the resources of Google. Just one ordinary designer could take care of it. A great designer would make it better than normal. Currently is sub-normal." - Andrew Baron

Single molecule, one million times smaller than a grain of sand, pictured for first time - Andrew Baron from Bookmarklet

They have always used Yahoo for thier streaming. - Roberto Bonini

No they havent. But also, they have never put a big 3rd party logo on their site that I recall either. - Andrew Baron

really poor implementation - they should be using brightcove ;) - mike "glemak" dunn

LOL - Patrick Jordan

Awful. Though I could not stop watching either hoping someone would pop the singer and end it. The while scene was lame and man the music - Jonathan Greene from iPhone

Yea, I'm thinking its so awful, its memorable. - Andrew Baron

Holy shit my jaw dropped watching that. They're amazing and it could've gone all wrong in an instant. - Andrew Trinh from iPhone

W... O... W... Incredible. - Mark Philpot

They dont make it look easy either. - Andrew Baron

I've been under the the opposite impression all of my life. - Chris Menning

Yeah, the more I look into this, nuclear winter is a very real threat even if there were a smaller regional conflict. If all of these weapons were detonated at once, the blast wouldn't kill everyone. But the nuclear winter would eventually. I was very backwards about this whole subject yesterday. - Chris Menning

ORDERING! - Kelly Mitchell

But seriously, it would be awesome. - Andrew Baron

Interesting headline. I'd love to read "the rest of the story" but your acct. is private. - Jack (a.k.a. Jeber)

Didnt know it was locked! unlocked! - Andrew Baron

"As noted above, AltaVisa is antiquated. Windows 95 is. The puck mouse from Apple. What if you had a headache and your doctor thought the best medical solution was still a lobotomy? This is a conversation ultimately about "branding". If you were a student studying brands in college you might ask: Why is Apple considered to be a "cool" brand and why is Microsoft considered to be "stogy" brand? Or maybe they are not. It's all just a general perception. From my first sentence of this piece: "here are some thoughts to file under the Psychology of brand association."" - Andrew Baron

I have to disagree with you about MySpace. Based on discussion with Danah Boyd who did a lot of research on this, and the cultural divide between FB and MS. I think we can come off as very elitist by disparaging MySpace without really understanding it. Personally, I don't like the features or the aesthetics but I can't deny that there are 60+Million people who do. I think we need to spend time understanding what they are getting from it. - Howard Greenstein

I read the piece too and tend to agree with Boyd typically, and I don't mean to undermine the activity that is happening on Myspace, but I think most people arrived onto Myspace at a time when it was the only place to go to participate on a large scale like that. - Andrew Baron

"I got an email from msm.com the other day and I just assumed that person worked at Microsoft. Gatta stop assuming that." - Andrew Baron
