Can anyone explain to me why Facebook seems to prefer the MySpace-esque message posting system, which (on your page) only displays the messages someone posts to you, but only displays responses on the other person’s page (without including the original)?
At least with Facebook you can click the link to see the conversation in order, but [...]
For some reason, TLA keeps selling ads for me, even though I canceled my account a week ago.
I came across this article by Jeff Atwood today that really eloquently captured / mirrored my current feelings about the social networking craze that’s sweeping the tubes these days.
I occasionally get requests to join private social networking sites, like LinkedIn or Facebook. I always politely decline. I understand the appeal of private social networking, and [...]

The phone and restaurant table examples were especially interesting, and it seems like they’ve already got businesses lined [...]
It was only a matter of time before someone built the Slurpr:
Well, the idea is to bundle all the traffic from these six wireless network interfaces (and maybe a wired interface too) into one big connection which, if you keep the wireless interfaces down to five, otherwise you need to hook up to it by [...]
I read about Google Gears earlier today on the blog of the developer who has been working on it, but I couldn’t think of anything I’d want to use it for, so I didn’t bother checking into it too much further.
Now that Google Reader supports it, though, I have installed it and it is excellent. [...]
