"self-hosted wordpress for general blogging, hands down. posterous for live-blogging. tie them together and you're golden. where's the actual poll here?" - Glenn Batuyong

"just a friendly reminder to someday add subdirectory support! Thousands of files in one single directory makes for incredibly painful management for admins and the filesystem. and please someday make replacement of files possible from the Document interface (more intuitive for search purposes). thanks!" - Glenn Batuyong

"LOL I don't know if it's the platform lacking the power or if the developers are just sub-par... the Twitter clients for Blackberry are pitifully primitive. It's like reliving ANSI pictures in DOS." - Glenn Batuyong

"absolutely. tweetie 2 DROPPED a bunch of useful features... and themes." - Glenn Batuyong

"No kidding! I HATE this cache bug!" - Glenn Batuyong

"yeah Tweetie 2 has some SERIOUS bugs that should be obvious from everyday use... the first that comes to mind is the "time warp" bug that, even after a relaunch, makes it forget that you've already seen mentions and DMs long time ago, yet it insists you have new ones... plus it is obsessively fixated-- scrolled to an old position or stuck on a particular viewpane on relaunch even if you quit from elsewhere in a previous launch. There was once where I added a Twitter account and Tweetie 2 would refuse to keep it until I did a number of lock/unlocks, quits, relaunches, ritual sacrifices and shaman dances." - Glenn Batuyong

damnit someday it better be legal. Apple's power bricks are over $80 EACH. - Glenn Batuyong

with or without holy shield? unless they changed it from TBC you only need to have 102.4% when holy shield is active - mjc

grats! Late to convo so not much else to add. I'm sure you'll get your tanking skills down. Just gotta keep going to stuff and practice. - Arlan Koizumi

"If this could somehow replace their gawd-awful Groupwise adventure, I'm all for it. Ditch their proprietary setup and go full-bore into business-oriented collaboration software built on Google Wave technology. This should give them that 0.1% chance to be relevant again. Yeah, when's the last time you heard about Novell in a progressive company?" - Glenn Batuyong

"...And that's exactly why BlackBerry phones have the highest customer satisfaction rating among... oh wait, no they don't. http://www.tuaw.com/2009......" - Glenn Batuyong

"At what point do we need to stop tweeting, liveblogging, and taking photos ...and start acting like first responders in a crisis situation? Did anyone in this social media foray bother to call 911?" - Glenn Batuyong

"Congrats to Twitter! Let's hope that somehow this deal will improve Twitter's general reliability (HINT) but does this mean that fake garbage like "RIP Kanye West" will be top SERPs on Google?" - Glenn Batuyong

"I'm not saying this reduces SERP. But I do get on the other end of the client's wrath telling him that removing those IDs is not possible (without compromising the integrity of the core). We usually stay away from Joomla SEF extensions because we do not want to deploy anything that may end up rolled into the core at a later stage or may mess up another aspect of the CMS functionality. In terms of SEO, whether or not one is more effective than the other in search results is debatable. I'm speaking from the standpoint of an admin and designer who has to crank out sites and justify the end-product's functionality. So consider this just a measure of the CMS's intuitiveness on specific operations" - Glenn Batuyong

"examples i've seen with out-of-the-box joomla with all SEF functions enabled (J1.5 with .htaccess set) -- http://XXXX/compone...... -- http://XXXX/compone...... -- http://XXXX/communi...... -- http://XXXX/organiz...... Even if this is a misconfiguration, ever notice the Permalink Structure panel in WordPress? Note that you can swap category with article or add an article ID or switch to date or flip the year with a month or vice versa by just altering one string (with live preview). Maybe you'd like to use a custom tag or category base and include the day of the post. You can do that also. SEF options in Joomla are 3 radio buttons that basically turn it on. Any customization would require a third-party extension. I apologize if the first point is inaccurate but we've been deploying Joomla sites for a couple of years in a production and dev environment since 1.5 beta, and the itemIDs are..." - Glenn Batuyong

"seriously. just compare the SEO features/flexibility of wordpress vs joomla. it's like a futuristic starship vs. a cobbled hodgepodge of plane parts assembled by frustrated engineers. sorry to say but it embarrasses me whenever i explain joomla URLs can't mask ID numbers out-of-the-box (and we're nearing 2010) and cannot be easily restructured/reordered without a major 3rd-party plugin intervening." - Glenn Batuyong

"Maybe it's getting close to that time to revisit the Chargers' options? http://www.portofsandiego.org/portals......" - Glenn Batuyong

Nooooooo... not Microsoft and Lockheed! Sounds like a resurgence of the sort of tomfoolery that caused the IE6 lock-in last decade! - Glenn Batuyong

Would using Fluid.app work for you? - Micah Wittman

ask the guys at Screencastsonline.com ... one of the best places for Screencasting on the Web for Mac Heads - johnpiercy

"I just want to make sure that migrating to the new version will not blow away any DOCman modules and links that are currently active on our sites (it happened once). Once you are completed with 1.5 we would really appreciate a clear HOWTO on upgrading the component/modules safely. Thanks!" - Glenn Batuyong

"youtube cross-posting with analytics is _almost_ cool except (unless i'm doing it wrong) 720p HD videos uploading to blip.tv don't end up @ youtube in 720p. They become letterboxed 4:3 SD videos. If you guys fix this, the Pro price would be so worth it!" - Glenn Batuyong

"Wouldn't that be http://data.gov/ ? Or do you mean Washington, DC the city?" - Glenn Batuyong

"Congratulations, San Francisco! It's gonna be hard for other cities to keep up with the stuff SF and the White House crank out." - Glenn Batuyong

Dear Apple, if I get Google Voice Grand Central it's because I happily choose to be confused so give me that right and get the hell out of the way. Why don't you go do somethig useful like comply with the law and add voice dialing to ALL your phones? - Glenn Batuyong

"One of the best features of retweeting the current way is the freedom add your own take or analysis on a tweet. In fact, many social media heavyweights and power twitterers agree that straight-up retweeting without adding anything personal from your own perspective doesn't give much value. The new method is just a stripped-down "pass-it-on" of news. Twitter: Give this more thought!" - Glenn Batuyong

oh hell noooo - Glenn Batuyong
