It looks like is going to be like a "series" of commercial type thing. I think. Maybe something like the Geico commercials? I really have no idea though. - Jay Cruz
hm, you might be right, maybe it's the first and they'll get better as it goes along... but still, IMHO this is a very weak start - Jason Kaneshiro
I would have titled this: "Windows Jerry Seinfeld Ad: What Is Up With That?" - Louis Gray
@Louis Gray: "I mean have you SEEN this? What - is - with - the - Churros?" - Sean McGee
Windows: it's in your churro. - Pete Delucchi
I just want to know if I'm missing something, so far, it seems not - associating it with the TV show would be doing it too much justice. - Jason Kaneshiro

This writing sample analyzer takes a sample of your writing and then calculates the number of sentences, words, and characters in your sample. As it's calculating these statistics it makes estimates as to how many syllables are present in each word. Using these numbers, it then calculates the Flesch Reading Ease, Fog Scale Level, and Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level, which are three of the most common readability algorithms. Simply supply a sample of your writing up to 5,000 characters and then click "Analyze." - Jay Cruz

"Another way to say it is that being knowledgeable and "well" informed is only one piece of the puzzle of being smart. Generally speaking, intelligence and "smartness" have a lot of stereotypes and assumptions that a lot of studies in cognitive sciences are proving wrong. I guess it's because we are still mystified by intelligence. The idiot savants, the child prodigy, the genius, or the intellectual bookworm. We sometimes forget that getting smart or having breakthroughs (which is the end goal for the majority. not a lot are trying to get smart just for the sake of it) is most of the time really just hard work." - Jay Cruz

en mi caso quede absorto con las animaciones de Compiz. Despues vi lo practico y deje de usar los efectos. Llevo mas de un año con Linux full. - Fulano X

I hit «Like» here even though I don't agree with the person who wrote it..not entierly. - Rebkin
It differs for people, but I think cold turkey would be the best way for me to do it. I agree with the "It's a habit, not an addiction" - well, not that it isn't an addiction, but one of the hardest things about quitting is the habit of going on smoke breaks, smoking after a meal, etc.. - Tim Hoeck
Your right Tim. I should've wrote that a different way. An addiction is really a long established "bad" habit which creates a physical dependency. But no matter how bad it feels, (cravings, the bloodstream missing nicotine, etc.) that's the easy part of quitting. I guess you can say that for every type of addiction, but with smoking addiction your not gonna get "sick" and feel pain like a heroin addict for example. - Jay Cruz

Introvert - Hao Chen
Didn't we already do this? I have no clue which I am. Is there a test? :) - Rahsheen(isSoAwesome)
Maybe I'm a little behind. I brought it up because of http://mashable.com/2008/08/15.... http://signalpatterns.com has a test which makes a graph like http://flickr.com/photos/25719.... - Hao Chen
1/2 & 1/2. Introvert/Extrovert also Intravert/Extravert (The Myers-Briggs word "extravert" = in an ideal world you would be an "extrovert"). "Introvert" is what you actually do (e.g. my Dad is from Taiwan and in Taiwan he's a flaming social extrovert; however, in the US in a foreign language, he's maybe 80% introvert). - Mitchell Tsai
Extrovert online, introvert offline. - Helen Is SOOO Not Of Troy
extrovert. if we're in a social setting and i don't know you, i'll walk right up to you and say hi and start talking. it might scare the sh*t out of you if you're an introvert. :) - Morgan
extrovert- wonder if you can be an introvert - anna
extrovert online, very much introvert offline. - Baard Overgaard Hansen
Introvert. Big time. - AlexScoble(Robert'sBro)
I'm an extrovert online. A bit of an introvert offline until I get to know the people I'm with. Then I'm much more of an extrovert. - Jason Shultz via twhirl
Has social media affected your introvert/extrovert behavior in real life or online? - Hao Chen
Introvert but more extrovert as the years pass. - Rodfather
Introvert, definitely, at least IRL. - Trish R
Introvert, most definitely. - Sarah
Introvert mostly. - Evan Sims
Introvert for the most part. - Mark Wilson
Total introvert and sometimes shy. - Daynah
introvert unfortunately - Arash
introvert - Jason Kaneshiro
My Myers Briggs Type is INTP :) - Jay Cruz
I'm too shy to respond with anything but this snarky comment. - sergiooo
People think i'm an extrovert but i'm INTP. - Jason Toney
EXtrovert to the nth degree (surprising I know) - Marco (aureliusmaximus)
According to Myers Briggs I am exactly half I and half E. Also, exactly half T and half F. - Lisa L. Seifert
Lisa: I'm similar with I/E and T/F, NP (totally 0 score on SJ). - Mitchell Tsai
Introvert.\ - JMS
Mitchell: Me too! Totally zero on S/J. Not sure if that's good or bad. ;-) Oooh... Maybe you're my male-version doppelganger. ;-) - Lisa L. Seifert
I'm usually an extrovert, although I do need (and value) my alone time. - Joshua M. Neff
introvert - Mark Dykeman
Introvert. But comfortable in basic social and professional situations. Overall, though, prefer to stay home. - Laura Norvig
Somewhere in the middle depends on the situation. - Jeff P. Henderson
Chameleon - whatever the situation calls for. - David Cohn
I'm an extrovert around people I know ;-) - ian kennedy
introvert - Ruth Ferguson
Introvert, mostly - Dereck
depends on the hour - adolfo foronda
INFP by Myers-Briggs standards; Signal Patterns says, "solitary, organized, unflappable"; why is any of this social stuff interesting to me?I totally don't fit the bill. - Pete Delucchi
If he/she is a good company i'm an extrovert:) - Igor Poltavskiy

I had a blog post brewing in my head about this, but this has said it for me! - Martin Bryant
It used to be someone you cared about and you could count on.... now, post FaceBook, it means someone who saw your name and clicked a button. - Jason Carreira
People online have turned into marketers and PR machines promoting their "me agenda". - Jay Cruz
What Jason said. Also, there are myspace layouts that allow you to change the word "Friends" to something else, and I was using that for a while. Now, Myspace has given you the option of NOT showing your friends. Which I use. I don't need people to see, right off the bat how many "friends" I have, who my "friends" are, and who my "best friends" are. Except my true friends. :p - Helen Is SOOO Not Of Troy
+1 Jason - Shey
Online: someone who's content i like for my own entertainment. RL: Someone who would pick me up in a bad area if my car broke down, vice versa. - Rodfather
As Rodfather wrote. The word "friend" now has multiple meanings, depending on context. No horrible social implications. Same thing's happened to the word "post," for example. - Brent Newhall
in case you missed this post on "friend" http://friendfeed.com/e/80a369... - Ruth Ferguson

"Your definition is not wrong or bad, I actually like and agree with the take of broadcasting studio and op-ed column, but that's because I'm addicted to the internet and understand the subtleties of the term "blog". You can ask or show a not so web savy user a "forum" or "wiki" and he'll understand very easily what they are; content wise and form wise, but with a blog he will be confused. We understand and can tell apart a blog from other forms of publishing online based more on a sense than on a form. Even though right now blogs have those 5 qualities listed in Daily Blog Tips, they didn't have them initially and will have many more in the future. The blog is the least agreed upon thing, but I think is just another online meme. :)" - Jay Cruz

"My comment is biased, because I'm an introvert, but I agree with this view. Lifestreaming services tend to have a more "chit-chat" nature to them, which introverts don't tend to enjoy much. I doesn't mean that introverts won't enjoy "lifestreaming", I like and use Twitter, but we wont thrive as much as having a blog." - Jay Cruz

"I would like a time line pagination like twitter. A "posted x hours or minutes ago" thing. That would help in giving me a clue how far away I am from the last updated post a saw. But either way, I'm really loving the redesign." - Jay Cruz

Delicious 2.0 Launches. Really. It Totally Launched.
Delicious 2.0 Launches. Really. It Totally Launched.
July 31 at 11:24 am - via Bookmarklet - Link
I don't see it though. http://delicious.com just shows the upgrade graphic. - Paul Buchheit via Bookmarklet
TC: "Delicious 2.0 will launch in the next few minutes", bad title? - Hassan Ibraheem
Wow, color scheme is totally designed to be a FriendFeed killer. - Aviv
I'm still not seeing the new site. Also, kind of bummed that there are no new features according to the TC post. - Mike Doeff
the login link goes to a sorry forbidden page, DELICIOUS FAIL - Chris Jones via twhirl
No, it still doesn't. Really. - directeur via NoiseRiver
Awesome, I love deli.ci.ous, this is great news!! - Susan Beebe
I deleted my del.icio.us cookies and relaunched Firefox and was able to see the new site. However, like Chris said, attempting to log in brings me to a 403 Forbidden Yahoo page. :( - Nathaniel Payne
My favorite bit is I went to 'about Delicious' in my toolbar menu and it took me to a page that said 'about has no bookmarks yet' - Shawna Benson
Ha! Signed in successfully! Woot! - Nathaniel Payne
I just signed in successfully too!! woo hoo! - Susan Beebe
Def! (Yes, I said def.) - deusdiabolus
Whoa. Never thought that would really happen. ;-) - Chris Baskind
I don't believe it loads faster - Stefan Hayden
And the del.icio.us feeds into friendfeed are working... - Atul Arora
There will be a lot of people who didn't really want to change anything. But -- so far -- I like this. It's still fast. - Chris Baskind
It's beautiful! - Michelle Miller
Why is delicious holding out on accepting a yahoo login? Flickr was switched over almost immediately. - Phil (scribkin)
I like it. It looks clear and cool. And very un-yahooy. - Benedikt Koehler
it looks really good - Parvez Halim
Woo! 'bout time. - Nick Munson
Phil, that's why I'm not joining delicious as of yet - Outsanity
I just signed in successfully too!! woo hoo! - Susan Beebe
@J. Phil maybe the delicious user DB and yahoo user DB isn't set up to talk to each other as easy as flickr was. they have to link both together, they won't make you sign up twice hopefully. - Chris Harris
I don't have to re.mem.ber where all the periods go. WIN! - Hao Chen
they took their time, but first impressions are that it looks great and works perfectly. - Iain Baker
"We’re in the middle of launching the new Delicious! Please check back soon..." - Philipp Lenssen
Approved - Julian Baldwin
Looks a bit different when I was granted preview access last oct/07 http://www.allanjosephbatac.co... - AJ Batac
Fantastic! - Nice Fish Films
This is beautiful! It's about time they're on the Web 2.0 train. :) - Daynah
I had that forbidden message for a couple of minutes, but eventually it did let me log in. Looks nice. - Jay Cruz
looks sooooo much better... - andy brudtkuhl
This, my friends, is how a revision is done. It maintains the same feel, the same text-centric vibe, with a nice web 2.0 sheen on it. It's beautiful work! - Justin Whitaker
I like it - Peter Stuifzand
Just started playing with it. In 2 minutes of usage I don't see any new functionality, though the visual design is a lot crisper. Pleasant. - Kevin Fox
so pretty! but does it work? hmmm - Sarah Perez
one new thing I noticed -- you can "email" a bookmark to a friend within the tool... cool - JungleG
And they did not put more emphasis on comments, so this will not be a competitor to friendfeed. Nice. - Benedikt Koehler
I ❤ it! - zoblue (Zulema)
It's fab!!! - JMS
I just got "blocked' for clicking too fast on a link.. how is that possible?? blame my microsoft mouse :D *bugs* - Adriano Gonçalves
I can't remember my password... and their password recovery form is down. Boo... but I sure do like the redesign video. Yay... - Michael Leggett
Woa! I LOVE the new design, so tech! - TiTi via Alert Thingy
Better do a quick check to check if Hell has frozen over too. - Chris Nixon
Yo-- - Denis
I love the fact that they kept it clean and simple, well done Delicious. - Steve Spalding
Seems just a facelift release, can't see functional enhancements. Still can't remove tag by 1 click, delete and remove tag quickly, tag and delete on multiple bookmarks. They still doesn't provide the better way to manage even just 100+ bookmarks. Anyone can tell what actually enhanced? - Baron Mok
I like more the old Delicious'colors.But new freatures are good. - Igor Poltavskiy
I can't believe so many people go wild over the new design. There is just so incredibly much wrong with it. Here are just a few of the complaints: http://support.delicious.com/f... - Peter
