"GrandPerspective is a small utility application for Mac OS X that graphically shows the disk usage within a file system. It can help you to manage your disk, as you can easily spot which files and folders take up the most space. It uses a so called tree map for visualisation. Each file is shown as a rectangle with an area proportional to the file's size. Files in the same folder appear together, but their placement is otherwise arbitrary."

I was going to answer but it shows much more of what I *don't* know haha. They partner with local microlending orgs that manage the payments. For each businessperson, you can see the partner and look at their portfolio & statistics, too.
- anna sauce
I read through the site, and one thing I noticed missing was any mention of interest on these loans. What sort of "investment" is this if you get no ROI? Or is it truly meant to be an altruistic gesture? The fact that Kiva has "professional investment partners" (or whatever the language was) makes me believe that *they* are somehow getting paid, but the investors are not.
- Joey Gibson
It's not an investment that gains you back anything other than your initial loan and some karma. And yeah, the fact that the partners get paid for their services, but we do not kind of sucks.
- Alex Scoble

Victor, I was a member of that team as soon as I signed up. :)
- Alex Scoble
I think it's pretty darn cool, interest or not.
- Steve C
I think the only way you're really going to get serious buy-in to this, outside of pure philanthropists, is if you allow the lenders to charge interest. I'm not talking about "standard interest rates" or what we see in the US. I'm talking micro-interest rates that are affordable to the borrower, but that will generate *some* ROI for the lender.
- Joey Gibson
I agree, Joey, that it would probably drive an increase in usage, but the service is still pretty new, so they might not be able to handle the extra capital inflow right now anyhow.
- Alex Scoble
I don't mind just having my charity $$ re-giving to other folks in need. I don't see it as a bank, or as an investmnet, more as money that I usually donate to groups, but in this case it stretches a *lot* further. I've provided funds to about 20 people or so, having joined 2 years ago. That's far more efficient than other donations.
- anna sauce
I think the disparity in value- these loans are so low and the interest I'd get on them would be relatively valueless.
- anna sauce
Not if you were making a lot of the loans...the interest mounts up.

The good thing is you can still keep iTunes and not be afraid of messing things up. Songbird will automatically import any changes you make in iTunes and mimic them in Songbird.

thanks for the tip Robert. I'll pass.
- Jim Addz No Value
Robert, since you seem to know a lot of people, I'd like to give a tip. I'm sure you've heard it before, but I think this was all a complete publicity stunt by Twitter using @aplusk, @cnnbrk, and @oprah to bring more people. When I can't unfollow @aplusk but I can unfollow anyone else just fine, something is up. I've just deleted my twitter account.
- Ⓐ ☠ slayerboy ☠ Ⓐ
What a silly thing make an impassioned protest about.
- Matthew DeVries
It totally was a publicity stunt on the part of Twitter. You could have blocked all those people though Mike. The unfollow button didn't work, but the block sure did.
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
@Matthwe yeah probably :P
- Ⓐ ☠ slayerboy ☠ Ⓐ
I don't WTF you all are talking about, I don't have any of those people on my follow list, and I can unfollow people just fine.
- Matthew DeVries
@Rob N. yeah but with all the crap that's been going on lately with Twitter coupled with the fact that I hardly use it now anyways, it was the tipping point.
- Ⓐ ☠ slayerboy ☠ Ⓐ
Mike: Right there with ya. If I didn't have the right tools to filter out the noise I would cancel as well. I believe this is the tipping point for the whole of Twitter, and will turn it into a simple medium for people to broadcast, and will deaden the quantity and quality of interpersonal exchange. So...here we are at FriendFeed :)
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
So much for trying to get peeps to understand that Twitter is more than just a popularity contest. It is my understanding that Twitter temporarily disabled the unfollow button on Kutcher's account to keep people from trying to game the system by following and unfollowing to try and be his 1millionth follower.
- Sharon McPherson
I guess you all are right. Today was the day that Twitter chose wrong, and broke itself. It defined itself as a popularity contest, thus people who need to do actual work can no longer depend on it as a tool. The King is dead, long live the King.
- Matthew DeVries
I don't necessarily agree with the assumption that Twitter can no longer be depended on as a "tool" Mathew. No matter how many millions flock to Twitter because of it's "new found fame", we still have the option of choosing who we follow and who follows us.
- Sharon McPherson
Sharon is correct, this is a choose your own adventure game, and as the pie expands it just means the objectives of different entities will need to be clearly defined and well managed. Whether there is 14MM of 140MM individual entities on twitter, you still control the conversation you choose to invest in.
- Patrick Boegel
There are 10 kinds of people: those who view Twitter as a tool, and those who view it as the social network they must must must be a part of. Reminds me of intertwingly's "It's just data". It's just a tool. It's all about what you choose to do with it. Like ridiculing Oprah's technology advisers for allowing her to SHOUT OUT ALL OF HER FIRST TWEET.
- Shane Curcuru
As of 1:20 pm Pacific time (4:20 pm Eastern) Twitter is up. This is a good stress test for @ev and company.
- John E. Bredehoft
I'm choosing to use FF as a tool to make fun of her and her advisors for making her second tweet about ordering lunch LOL!
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
You're all so mean! Twitter is perfect for Oprah viewers, because they've never had a thought needing more than ... well, it's sure not 140 characters, I bet.
- Stan Scott
Stan, with all due respect to Robert, the unleashing of the Oprah followers on a service is a much more powerful stress test than even the unleashing of the Robert Scoble followers on a service. I'm not sure that Twitter would share it, but it would be fascinating to see the information about Twitter sign-ups and usage over the next few days.
- John E. Bredehoft
I don't know. All of this freaking out over who's on twitter and why seems like saying "Duuuuude, Nirvana totally sold out." I don't really care who is on twitter and why. I thought "we" wanted people to have access to information and communication- even if they don't know all of the etiquette yet. I don't want FF to be the record store where the everyone is too cool.

I like Shelfari (http://shelfari.com - quite recently acquired by Amazon) and aNobii (http://anobii.com). Of the two, I enjoy aNobii the most. LibraryThing only lets you register a number of books; to unlock, you have to purchase.

I prefer LT over GoodReads. I also love BookMooch.

"Now that we've been using git at Twitter for a couple of months, we've overcome several crippling problems and misunderstandings about how to use it properly. There are dozens of "intros" and "tutorials" to git online, but at some point you need to know more than just the basics of DVCS and the map to svn commands -- you need to know practical considerations of real-world usage. None of the intros or tutorials had this stuff, so I thought I'd share what we learned."

Great stuff! I hate to look a gift-horse in the mouth but I was hoping OmniGraffle was being away up as well.
