hahaha. Am I wrong for loving that. - Shawn Farner

How fitting! Except I don't watch Oprah and I'm not from the midwest and I'm not a housewife (yet). - Rochelle

SUCK IT! - Mark Wilson

It's not perfect Rochelle. It's the best I could come up with on such short notice. - Mark Wilson

'A' for effort, Mark. - Rochelle

Oh this is funny!! where's Akiva? he's gonna freak when he sees this! LOL - Susan Beebe

Such is life. Ooo, The Soup is on. - Eric @ CS Techcast

Without seeing the Jeopardy category, I thought this was a setup for an Obama-Palin joke. - Kevin Hessel

bad timing! - Mona N.

yeah, ix-nay on the ood-flay ics-pay - Josh Haley

"can i call you later? i'm in the MIDDLE of something right now" - AJ Batac ♘

Somethings coming up hun. - James Tenniswood

as many times as this idiot wants its to be - http://friendfeed.com/e/d04f06... - Peter Dawson

I think Techcrunch keeps playing up the story every couple of months to get on to the Digg homepage. TC has been playing up the story periodically for the last 6 - 8 months - Sidharth Dassani

We can all agree that meaning of words change -- but it is still useful to have a common understanding of what a word now means even if its different from before - Brian Sullivan

@brian very much agree - i am all for constructive discussion and critical analysis I just feel like some find they don't have a whole lot of positive value to add to the conversation so they begin looking for things to tear down so that they too can be an expert - Marco (aureliusmaximus)

@marco - Well said. I do however, enjoy any discussion regarding changing linguistics and the construct of community. - Nice Fish Films

@nice fish tyx - I do as well - in fact I love any kind of discussion that challenges CW or critically discusses ideas - Marco (aureliusmaximus)

"horseless carriage" and "web" probably different meanings, too - Mark Dykeman

that explains the weird looks lately when i tell people i love surfing the horseless carriage ; p - Marco (aureliusmaximus)

@marco - winner! - Mark Dykeman

While the etymology of new terms and meanings is helpful for newcomers to the net and having a repository of them as a reference would be cool (an ever changing wiki often based upon keystroke errors would be kind of dorky funny), in order to take away some of the intimidation factor the terms have for people, I try to liken it to a toy that only has instructions in a language you do not know. Best to play with it to figure out what everything really means. I agree, repeated analysis is tiresome. - Boo

Marco++ LOL - Rah™

@mark @rasheen *making hand washing motion and walking away* "I'm out!" - Marco (aureliusmaximus)

Thanks Derick. ;) - Cyndy

Cyndy does a great job, which is why she was the first person I invited to be a guest poster. I'm glad to have given her a new platform to express her good posts. - Louis Gray

Cyndy has expressed my thoughts on the Twitter Followed/Following issue far more eloquently than I ever could. - Sally Robinson

oh Orli - this gives me hope! With the auto-refresh we might even be able to have a half-decent conversation on Twitter! Do you know what it's using under the hood for the real-time updates? Ajax? Keep us posted on this please!! - Matt Hooper

Matt, it's probably Ajax-based. Guys, this application is amazingly good! - Orli Yakuel

twitter is dead. too bad it uses a bad standard. let me know when they interface ff - AnotherⓟⓁⓊⓂⒷⒺⓇ

That's pretty nice. Wonder when they'll open up their beta more? - Patrick Veverka

any invites? - acedanger

Thanks for the positive comments everyone. Our team is really dedicated to providing the best twitter experience possible via the web. There are a few bugs left to work out, but we're hoping to get those ironed out over the weekend and do a soft launch next week. - Derek Gathright

Oh, and follow @tweenky for the latest updates with the application. Matt, this application uses the Summize & Twitter APIs, and heavily uses ajax (jQuery). - Derek Gathright

Whats going on with this people! Is IE secondary ?? "It looks like you are using Internet Explorer. We are still in early early early beta and haven't had the chance to properly test in IE yet. In the meantime, go download Firefox! =)"................. - Jigar Mehta

Jigar, Ugh... IE is such a pain in the ass. we're hoping to get IE7 support, but really, we're targeting power twitter users, and they don't use anything but Firefox & Safari. Right now we're at 4% of our traffic is IE users so not sure it is vital to get working during a beta launch. - Derek Gathright

Sounds interesting. Would love an invite. Thanx! - Barbara K. Baker

Alright derek, any idea where to get invite from?] - Jigar Mehta

The screenshots look really nice. Would love an invite. Thanks! - Sudar

No invites... but hopefully Tweenky will go public soon. - Orli Yakuel

I need something looking like gmail like I need a hole in the head - James Tenniswood

@derek - Thanks for letting us know a bit more about it - can't wait to have a closer look! - Matt Hooper

Wow! it's so cool to see that lots of people liked Tweenky. Really something that worth waiting for. - Orli Yakuel

Agree with James. Why? - Duncan Riley

wheres the innovation ? I Agree with James, do I need another gmail type interface ? to me its just a skin being applied to Twitter, you can do all the makeup you want, but that will not hide the twitter illness beneath a skin !! - Peter Dawson

@Duncan, convenience. But you know what, it's not a second Gmail, it's just some colors an elements that resemble to Gmail, and make it easy to understand and work with the applications. Duncan, this application rocks big time, wait till you try it yourself :-) - Orli Yakuel

Orli, " this application rocks" - this is just a UI app , as much as I hate sayin this, but building an interface on a "rocky" /unstable application will certainly lead to what ? another mini fail whale experience ? - Peter Dawson

Peter, you're talking like Twitter is to be close tomorrow... come on... we all know that this "UNSTABLE" thing, didn't stop none of us from using it. And I'd like to think that Twitter will be stable eventually. - Orli Yakuel

Tweenky.com seems to bring up only a white page... So is this a full Twitter-like platform, or just a UI that talks to Twitter itself? - Jason Carreira

I can't reach at the site.is tweenky under construction?? - Chris Qie

Yes. (even for me, and I miss it already since yesterday) - Orli Yakuel

See http://twitter.com/tweenky/sta... for what has happened to Tweeny - Nick Cowie

Yeah, I know about that. It will come back shortly :-) - Orli Yakuel

waiting to play with it... not sure if i'll use it - Naor

I really would like to try this. Sorry they're having trouble right now.. - Rebkin
