I think an important element to this that isn't immediately obvious (if you don't click through) is that this is addressed to Gary Vaynerchuk of Wine Library TV, who has started to use a video as an email auto-responder: http://tv.winelibrary.com/garyvs-...
- Mark Trapp
Yes, Vaynerchuk's video response to email is significant, and Andrew's dislike of same. I think the video is great, it may be Rocketboom 2.0.
- Dave Winer
I've fallen victim to Gary's auto email reply, with his video link, before. lol.

Tinyurl is fine for me, what else do you need? Though the one that tracks your links is interesting and different. Forgotten its name, um, something er short. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
The tinyurl addon for firefox seems to be hacing trouble with url parameters are the moment so I'm on the lookout for something that works...
- Andy Davies
I've been using Tr.im in place of twurl for a couple of days and I really like it.
- Keith - @tsudo
what is the business model for url shorteners? to get eaten by a larger shortener until the entire internet depends on it and the government has to bail it out?

Useless Tweets: "About to get in the shower" (who cares?), "Fiddling with my blog post"(stop fiddling and post it), "Thanks for the follow"(what is this - MySpace?), "Tired" (you mean "boring"), "BriteKite ____" (I don't care if you are at the Pizza Hut off of route 45), and "Good Night Twitter".
hmm. I like Brightkite, so I definitely don't agree with that.
- Mattie Kenny
I also good night to my twitter pals. I don't think either of those are useless. Twitter creates a dialog and in that dialog location can become important. It's also nice after a long spurt of tweets with some of my friends to let them know I'm heading off.

When I heard his songs I always envisioned a huge dude, then I saw this video and couldn't believe how little he was. And the jumping around did amuse all.

"How it's made" is a great show. No frills, just the science of the matter.
- Steven (optionshiftk)
I love the show, but the announcer can get on my nerves.
- Gabe
How It's Made is pretty much the only TV Annie will watch. Her favorite is the balloon episode. We've watched it at least 50 times. Good thing you can't wear out a show on Tivo.

@Gabe: I find the narrator annoying, too. I can really do without the corny puns.

Laurence: Neither of those videos use metric units. They both said pounds and Fahrenheit.
- Gabe
You're right! I hadn't noticed that. I picked the potato chip one because it was the first clip I could find on Youtube where both the American and Canadian ones were available. I hadn't actually listened all the way through. The other clips I'd heard with the female narrator used metric. eg: http://www.youtube.com/watch... Wikipedia also agrees about the units being the main difference between the US and Canadian versions, so that potato chip one is puzzling...
- Laurence Gonsalves
I've heard the American guy use metric before, so it may not always be different.

Beauty of Earth: Stunning photographs of landmark captured over six-month period [six months of the sun's luminescent trails] - http://artsonearth.com/2009...
Hehe. Of course, when I read this all I can think of is you completely re-editing them all so they say you were great, the post was compelling and do you have signed photos. I mean, more than they already do :)

"Faile is an international artist collective formed in 1999 and based in Brooklyn, New York. They are recognised as some of the pioneers of global contemporary street art. The three founding members are Patrick McNeil (Canada), Patrick Miller (U.S.), and Aiko Nakagawa (Japan). From initially wheatpasting screen printed posters on the streets of New York and major world cities, they progressed to the more permanent medium of stencil graffiti. Their instantly recognisable pop culture images in posters and stencils have allowed Faile to diversify into other areas encompassing fine art, sculpture, design, fashion, music, and housewares. Despite this, the core of their work remains printmaking, stencilling, and painting."

Street Art was born outside of the 'established' art world, and outside in general. By utilising spaces where work can be enjoyed by everyone some artists have attracted huge popularity. Watch the Blast videos below with some of the artists who make the scene tick, and check out the related links for more on street art.

"The Faile collective are based in Brooklyn, New York. Blast caught up with them as they were setting up for their Lost in Glimmering Shadows show in a disused school in South London. The Patricks speak on their early influences, visually sampling popular culture, coffee stains and what street art is to them. Watch this exclusive interview with some true legends and be inspired!"

From Disambiguity: "Over the past few days I’ve been posting a lot in the Drupal Groups at Drupal.org about the rationale for some of the design decisions we have taken on the Drupal.org redesign. I thought you might find them interesting, so I’ll copy them over here as well. In particular we’re talking about why the header is so big, the global navigation is so small, search is so prominent, the ‘dashboard’ tabs are more prominent than the global header and why there is no ‘download now’ link on the homepage. I can’t guarantee that the rationale is entirely holeproof, however it has definitely been based on paying close attention to what a broad range of people want to do on Drupal.org, making some decisions around how to best prioritise these needs, designing to suit these prioritised needs and then testing to check that the new design does actually support key user tasks."

“Friends over at FriendFeed - we need a way to TAG our posts, photos and services. This way I can FILTER by topic! Please!!!!!” - http://friendfeed.com/e...
I think the problem here is people already 'tag' things in their other services. For example, Picassa you can tag a photo - and what you are asking for is another way to tag it in friend feed. The challange here might be a way to 'pull' tags in from other services (eg picassa or delicous)... not sure the REAL value of it but..
- Sherif Mansour
More work for me.... Now if you could have stuff auto tagged, like I want all my TwitArmy Entries to be tagged technology, because they are. Or if it would import tags.
