Re: Dorsey's Square, I thought the next move would be we just use our phones as payment devices. Plastic cards are just extra items to tote.
I agree, don't people in Japan already do that sort of thing? But it seems like it'd be a bigger convenience for sellers, who don't need to go thru all the rigmarole of setting up a payment gateway - esther from iPhone
I like everything about it except the hardware and cards. I want the system to just require only the phones! The thing about being easier for merchants - what merchant that thinks it's too much hassle to get setup with a gateway is going to buy a fancy new swiper and an iPod touch or whatever? And for those who don't need the swiper, how is this different from PayPal/Amazon/Google? No plastic required. - Bryan Landers from iPhone
Glad u want phone payments, too, btw ;) - Bryan Landers from iPhone
WordPress' custom fields are a good solution for mini database hacks.

Great info in here, Julien. Thanks for being so transparent. Exciting stuff! - Bryan Landers
We're all about being transparent :) To be fair, I love it when I find out that someone is using us without even knowing it! - Julien
Yup, I noticed the Posterous and BackType PSHB hubs, so that will probably happen more frequently for you. Is there anywhere you're compiling references to people using Superfeedr (like apps that make use of it for real-time products, etc)? - Bryan Landers
We're currently working on that... but many of them want to keep that 'stealth'. - Julien
We just returned a (formerly) lost cat to some very grateful cat sitters. I love good karma points!

MySpace UX FAIL.

Wow, if a javascript confirm() won't believe you, WHO WILL??? - Micah Wittman
Yup, and 1 chance to pick a username?! Pity the person who makes a typo at this moment. Anytime you resort to this type of language and interaction in your messaging, it should be taken as an indication that your UX has gone crapola. - Bryan Landers
myspace has long been my go-to for what NOT to do in UX. - nate beaty
W/ apologies to anyone who works for them: if you're using myspace, that's a fail =P - esther from iPhone
i said essentially the same thing to a friend the other day, his response: "if you're a band, what else is there?" muxtape.com came to mind, but he's right, it's come down to band pages and It's Too Painful To Migrate Elsewhere users. - nate beaty
Aha. Now this conversation is getting interesting. So, in answer to, "if you're a band, what else is there?" I have too long an answer, but the short version is: EVERYWHERE! I recently helped 2 musician friends with their own destination sites/hubs (artist_name_dot_com), each of which used no less than 5 other web services (Twitter, Flickr, ArtistData, Facebook, MySpace, Vimeo,... more... - Bryan Landers
that sounds like a band that makes money and has some PR muscle! either that or they know a webgeek or are tech-savvy themselves. but you're right, getting yourself out there these days requires one foot in many services. - nate beaty

Don't you love it when you sign up for a new freemium web service only to find out that the one reason you signed up is actually only included in the 'premium' version, but that's not communicated until after you've spent a bunch of time on your new account? Why would pissing me off make me want to be more loyal? /rant

How do you do a private beta when your app allows third-party authentication (like openid or rpx)?!
