scottkarp: I'm sorry Twitter search is a joke. Can't search further back then a few weeks. It's not just about real-time, it's a permanent record. - http://twitter.com/scottka...
could not agree more...why I have never actually used their search. - Braden Douglass
Twitter needs to technically fix the search instead of decorating it. - ashish from iPhone
Maybe they could acquire a third party search service... - Ken Sheppardson
Maybe they could just start taking this shit seriously? - Andy Bakun
my tweets have disappeared off the public search timeline since the DoS attacks. Twitter's a free service and customer service reflects it... - Sherrie Rose
Twitter has been a joke for two years. Problem is too many people enjoy using it. It's a shame people didn't move away from twitter. Pity for those people. - Richard A.
Totally agreed. I had a personal hash-tag for so many tweets just so that I could maintain some records.All are gone now :( - Sujay
Despite all the problems I do like that I can narrow my search geographically. That is something I wish I could do with FriendFeed. I would also like to search for new friends geographically. - Skyler Call
Question: Why would anybody need to search twitter back more than a couple of weeks? I don't see how Tweets hold any value for that long. Do you save all your SMS Text messages too? - Otto
Otto wins! If it's something worth saving, blog it, or put it somewhere that's yours, not Twitter's, or Tumblr's or anyone else's. Oye... - Mike Lewis
Why are you sorry that a product you're not responsible for is a joke? - Trent Hamm
If Twitter does come up with a good search functionality, then I want the ability to purge my tweets after some period of time. I don't want my messages being permanent records. - Otto
What Twitter did to their search earlier in the Spring was a huge surprise to me as I used it regularly. The changes they made did not raise much of a huff then, so my read was that few people understand and make use of these search capabilities. While the friendfeed search has room for growth which we may not see now with the buyout, it is clearly one of the main reasons I decided to make this my social media home. - Richard Reeve
Once in a while I think to myself how much data does the Internet want to keep, and why does it matter. Wouldn't it be better if there was a national library online that wasn't putting a load on the Internet from keeping so much useless data (which Twitter mostly has, BTW...) - David Libby
My sense is that the dross is an inevitable by product, and what one might consider dross might be valuable to another for very different reasons, some of which we might not even recognize yet. Regardless of the system, I'm for archiving the entire unfolding transcript... - Richard Reeve
Is FF search really much better? Trying to find things older than a few days or weeks is damn near impossible. - Brian Sullivan
Brian, while FF only returns about 630 or items back, once you apply searches by keyword, that is more than enough to get you back all the way to the beginning of your Twitter, etc. record kept within FF. And that is the value, Otto, that before you could use Twitter as a very handy, "self-tagging" (by way of your tweet context) bookmark repository, etc. Sometimes you do want to find out what (specific) people said during a given conference, during a major event, sentiment trends over time, etc. etc. - Alex Schleber
@Otto42, agreed that you should be able to opt out for privacy reasons, then again, you already sort of can by protecting your updates (granted that won't get your old tweets out of Twitter Search & FF, etc. databases). - Alex Schleber

This is why I hate the app store so much. Cool app, massive delay in getting it to market. Why do I have to download this crap through Apple? Why can't I download through FB directly? Frankly, all developers of "free" apps should release through Cydia, so those of us with jailbroken phones don't have to put up with Apple's BS. - Otto
I hope Spotify release their app on Cydia if Apple rejects it. What a great reason for millions of people to jailbreak their phones. :) - Jamie Cansdale

Just curious, will quoting "I enjoy the massacre of ads. This sentence will slaughter ads without a messy bloodbath." fool AdSense too, or at least force it to display public service ads? - Sebastian

You know, this isn't working for me. I was joking above, but it only works for me if I email me. I put the phrase in my signature line thinking that if someone replies to me, gmail would still recognize it in my reply and continue to block, but that doesn't appear to be the case. - Kevin Arth

Toshiba to launch world's largest and fastest SD card
"Toshiba has announced it will be launching a 64GB SDXC card, which they claim will be the world's fastest and largest SD card. The card boasts write speeds of 32MB per second and read speeds of 60MB per second, and is compliant with the latest SD memory standard. In addition to the 64GB SDXC, Toshiba also announced they would be releasing two more storage cards: a 32GB SDHC card and a 16GB SDHC card – and importantly, both offer the same speeds as the 64GB SDXC." - LANjackal from Bookmarklet

IE6 Must Die for the Web to Move On - http://mashable.com/2009...
Lately I've found that quite a few clients are still running IE6!! They've updated since the discovery but IE6 made it quite hard to proof certain web projects because of it's rendering bugs... - t i n y m
Don't forget IE7. It's just barely better than IE6. - Matt Mastracci
Many companies feel that moving from IE to an alternate browser (Mozillla) is not worth the investment/ IT/ training. Big mistake in my opinion. - David Lanning
Our web dept is allowed to use Firefox (and other browsers for testing) but the company doesn't "officially" like everyone using them. They're very much Microsoft fans & don't believe IE is bad in any way... To them us web geeks are just complainers when it comes to IE. - t i n y m
Matt's right: IE7 is a clunky POS as well. The only thing good about it is that they fixed a few CSS bugs, bumped up the GC thresholds, and fixed the PNG transparency issue. Oh, and they somehow managed to build tabs into the chrome using C++/win32 code and *still* made them freakishly slow to render. - Joel Webber
There are a lot of complex reasons why people *can't* upgrade (IT policy, legacy intranet apps, etc). But the reason so many people don't think it's worth the trouble is that we all bend over backwards to support it, and we simply don't *try* features that would perform poorly on IE. It's slow enough on the apps that are out there, but what people often don't think about are the apps and features that never see the light of day because they're unimplementable on that foul monstrosity. - Joel Webber
Every version of IE should die horrible obsolete deaths. Unless of course you enjoy re-writing everything you code for the web. Seriously, has anyone ever did any html which displays perfectly the first time on all browsers including IE on the first shot? - Fry Ink
IE's a BROWSER?? Isn't that the same for example? /sarcasm - Robert Sanchez Jr
We have had our Application Control software blocking it for 6 months now - Simon Bryan
Joel, have seen and heard people *justifying* that if you make things ok for IE6, they'll run like anything on modern browsers- so much for not trying features that'll perform poorly on IE6. I think the proper way to get around this problem is to get the usage % to such a dismal low that lethargic sysads will have no option but to finally invest their 'savings' from an era of not developing applications for modern browsers, into upgrading them. - Ashish Tiwari
