WORKING AS INTENDED.
- Jordan Hofker
(There is a way to do it, but it involves some sort of wizardry).
- Jordan Hofker
I know it is as intended, but that's why it's even worse! MDI is not very nice when you have multiple monitors. My favorite part is how they fake you out by putting two separate windows in the taskbar.
- Zach
Something I would not have predicted: users caring vehemently about CSS print stylesheets.

Interesting TOS no matter what you think of the source or how sensationalist it's presented

At work they added an alert box to Lotus Notes that says: "You are about to Reply to All, are you sure?" Ugh, bad.
Every single time? There has to be a way to disable that...
- Jordan Hofker
The people that are going to do it wrong will just click "Yes" anyway. :-( They need to make them solve a math problem or code something before doing it instead.
- Jordan Hofker
Maybe there is a way to disable it, but hell if I'm going to search through the bowels of Lotus Notes to find it. Prompts are useless at preventing users from doing something. Math problems are a bit better, but still not very good, they're just distracting.

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.

Here's the sale: http://marketplace.sitepoint.com/auction... Amazing.

Crap :/

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.

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 :)

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.

I'm surprised anyone did use them after all the recent shenanigans.

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...

- 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.

Hehe, happy I didn't try that one :-)

CSS Qualified Selectors // ShaunInman.com - http://www.shauninman.com/archive...
Jordan Hofker liked this
What if we could just write: a < img { border: none; } That is a qualified selector. A qualified selector can only contain one <. The element immediately to the left of the < is the target of the selector, everything after is the qualifier. In this case, the style would only apply to anchors that contain an image.
- Zach
@zach: your suggestion makes a lot of sense to me

Was never virus proof, just ignored by virus writers due to insignificant number of owners. Now you must deal with your popularities down-side.

Netflix! You are rocking the instant queue selection! Thinking about buying a Roku now.
Or wait until November if you have a 360 (http://gizmodo.com/5025001...)
- Jordan Hofker
Or if you have a computer with Media Center, you can stream from that right now!
- Ryan Versaw
I don't have either, but a Roku is only $99. Don't you have to have the subscription with 360?
- Zach
Yes. Playing games online is still fun, too. Or you can do what Versaw said, which only requires the Netflix subscription.

You don't really use IE for browsing do you? That's like driving a Geo Tracker when a free Porsche is sitting right next to it.
- Zach
You need Ultramon so that the taskbar extends to the second monitor.
- Alan Le
I use IE and Firefox. If I need something quick, like looking at Friendfeed for a bit, I'll load up IE. If I'm in for the long haul, using random web apps that are optimized for Firefox, then I'll start it up. Alan, is Ultramon better on 64-bit Vista yet? It crashed all the time before.
- Jordan Hofker
ahh, I only used Vista x64 for a week or so and went back to 32-bit because some games didn't work so I don't know.

Liking this so maybe Zach will see it.

Thanks Jordan. It's down to either doing it in jquery, or having someone make up some Flash (which I also can't do hahah)

What's the problem?
- Zach
I've got jquery, thickbox and the CSS loaded. For whatever reason, the link that I'm trying to call up is just popping up in the same window, instead of a 300x300 box. http://208.101.28.218/... - It's the Monday link that I'm talking about.

jQuery has a bitchin mailing list. You can always post questions there, regardless of experience level: http://groups.google.com/group...

Awesome. Thanks for the info, Zach. I'll hit it up and see what happens.
- Bradley McSpinn
Your tooltip is loading, but jquery and thickbox scripts are coming back as 404's
- Zach
Brad, fix your scripts' source path. path-to-file/jquery.js hehe
- Hao Chen
Ahah. I'm not seeing that at all. For me, it just pops up the new page. So chances are, it's just a matter of the /path to script being incorrect?
- Bradley McSpinn
righto

WOOOOOHOOOOO! It works! Now to just fix the html page that it's calling :D
