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. - Fred Oliveira

the @google guys announced their Barcamp in Lisbon - they were kind enough to ask for our help. we'll be there. only issue: too soon
@google @f scheduling a #barcamp for a week day (thursday) is not a good idea IMHO... - Marcos Marado
Concordo, mas infeizmente sobre a data não tive qualquer dizer :/ - Fred Oliveira
@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 :-) - Marcos Marado
Marcos Marado
@f I still don't understand why #goplan lets me have a "public blog rss feed" but not a "public blog"...
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. - Marcos Marado from fftogo

#barcampt ninguém disposto a organizar/participar num debate sobre crowdfunding no @barcampt ? #cfund
#barcamppt ninguém disposto a organizar/participar num debate sobre crowdfunding no @barcamppt ? #cfund - Marcos Marado
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 :) - Fred Oliveira

Did you ever stop to think why Twply needed your account information when there's search.twitter.com? Now they just sold all the data.
Crap :/ - embee
Twitter really needs an API key. I've sworn off any 3rd-party app or site that needs a real password. - LogEx
Beware - they are tied into http://www.tweetmanager.com as well (via http://marketplace.sitepoint.com/auction... and click www.twautor.com). - Renee Hendricks
$1200 for a site up for one day? The smell of phish is strong. - Jack (a.k.a. Jeber)
remember it is now 2009 ;) - Michael W. May
Mark, thanks for the due diligence and heads-up! - Gregg
Thanks for letting us know! - ursi
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. - .LAG liked that
I changed my twitter password. But the bastards have my email. Oh well. - Jim Williams
Never touched it - Tyler (Chacha)
And I even changed both my passwords anyway :) - Tyler (Chacha)
I did not use it...good thing - Susan Beebe
Twitter should investigate, they can start with the Tweet stream from Twply. I'll keep my eye out for new "offers" in my gmail inbox. - B2B Specialist
I went to the site but closed the browser when I realized it was another site that wanted my Twitter password. - Bob Gannon
without using ssl - Michael W. May from twhirl
I'm surprised anyone did use them after all the recent shenanigans. - WorldofHiglet
....plus the name puts me in mind of bathroom tissue/toilet tissue/bog roll... - WorldofHiglet
I was a sucker. I am swearing off 3rd party applications until Twitter gets an API key. - Mathew A. Koeneker
Susanne BULLO - good catch on connecting Twply with TweetManager. FYI - TweetManager has a feature that lets you DM up to 1,000 people. - Mike Doeff
Yikes, going to change my password now. - Zach
Nope, sure didn't. Nothing in my Twitter stream is important enough for me to care. But yeah, they are shady. - Bwana ☠
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... more... - Mark Trapp
@mark, i did verify that the whois information is real after I posted about this situation here: http://helloform.com/blog... - Fred Oliveira
Just to clarify.. Did they sell all the data as well, or just the service? - Winston Teo
I bought FauxAuth.net with the intention of making an OAuth middleman so you COULD cut a site off if something like this happened. - Tom
OAuth FTW. - Chris Messina
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
Thanks for the details Mark. - trextor
Hehe, happy I didn't try that one :-) - Richard A.

On Twply and giving out your Twitter password - http://helloform.com/blog...
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. - Ontario Emperor from fftogo
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. - Ontario Emperor from fftogo
The "825" comes from the Sitepoint auction of the site. - Ontario Emperor from fftogo
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. - Fred Oliveira

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.
