Underscore is a utility-belt library for JavaScript that provides a lot of the functional programming support that you would expect in Prototype.js (or Ruby), but without extending any of the built-in JavaScript objects. It's the tie to go along with jQuery's tux.

@f alguma coisa contra ter o barcamppt.org a referir outros barcamp's realizados em PT além do "vosso"? Tipo referir lá o passado barcampfct e o futuro google barcamp...
- Marcos Marado
nada contra - estamos a tratar disso com o pessoal do google
- Fred Oliveira
ok, então entretanto... actualizei um bocadinho a página principal do wiki :-)

A inclusão de functionalidade de blogging foi um erro. Acho que não deviamos ter implementado uma coisa sem a outra, e consequentemente há poucas pessoas que usem a funcionalidade das feeds. :/
- Fred Oliveira
Pena... Acho que a funcionalidade de blog é boa, mas seria útil se pudesse ser público... Um problema do feed é que apesar de ser público cada item linka para uma página no goplan... Privada.

Eu não sei o suficiente para participar, mas tenho todo o gosto em ajudar a organizar caso haja interessados. Acho um optimo tema para o evento.
- Fred Oliveira
@f o meu objectivo era ter um "debate" ou uma "conversa sobre o assunto"... Mas "a 1" não dá ;-) #barcamppt
- Marcos Marado
Claro, eu entendi que fosse um debate. Não acho que saiba o suficiente para ser interessante como participante. Posso ajudar a organizar :)

To be fair, I saw the sale notice buried in one of the threads on FriendFeed about Twiply, figured it warranted a top-level post about it.
- Mark Trapp
i saw a bunch of prominent tweeple tweet about this service earlier today, and i guess those endorsements triggered lots of others to sign-up without stopping to consider what was going on..."meme-think" at its worst.

I changed my twitter password. But the bastards have my email. Oh well.
- Jim Williams
Nope, sure didn't. Nothing in my Twitter stream is important enough for me to care. But yeah, they are shady.

Have any journalists/bloggers actually tried contacting them to get their viewpoint?
- trextor
trextor: it's hard to contact a guy who doesn't have contact information. The only identifiable information is on the whois record for Twply.com, which may or may not actually correspond to an actual person. That being said, if you look at Twply's Twitter account or the comment it left on http://scobleizer.com, the person running Twply doesn't think it's done anything wrong, at least...

Mike Doeff: Thanks. For those looking for contact info, since twply appears to be connected to twautor which is an aka for tweetmanager, you can find a contact person very quickly and easily for tweetmanager - "Bill McIntosh TweetManager.com Founder http://www.billmcintosh.com Follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/billmci..."
- Renee Hendricks
Mark - Thanks for the heads up. Was bound to happen sooner or later ?!
- Charlie Anzman
Excellent summary of the issues, including the possibly low selling price. They probably could have waited a day and gotten more, since people are still signing up for the service.

Just saw a comment from Mark Trapp stating that worldbuyer (the Twply buyer) got access to 825 passwords/email accounts. I don't know if that's an exact number or a guesstimate.

The "825" comes from the Sitepoint auction of the site.

825 people is a lot of people :-/ And judging by a quick search over at search.twitter, I'd say it's a tad more than 825 right now.

So what the hell is rg to begin with? rg is a rails generator, like the ‘rails’ command (the one used to create a blank Rails app) just way cooler. You think it has never been easier to create a skeleton app because we have bort? Well, then check this out.

This series of in-depth articles examines the sometimes tense but always intimate relationship between design and technology. We look at how today's designers are engaging with technology in new ways and what these experiences mean for design, design tools, and society in general.

Spore has been a huge undertaking. Along the way we ended up exploring countless design directions in gameplay, simulation and user interface. Usually these prototypes are never seen by the public, but we thought some of the more intrepid players out there might enjoy playing around with a few of our early Spore prototypes. Keep in mind these are not tested, supported or even easily explained. One of the ways in which we explore possible design directions is by building simple, playable prototypes that we can play around with to get a sense for a particular system. Usually these prototypes are never seen by the public, but we thought some of the more intrepid players out there might enjoy playing around with a few of our early Spore prototypes.
