@IILWY - What time would be good for everyone? I propose 8 pm CET (that’s 7 pm GMT).

@iPhone - Definitely getting one as soon as it gets out on July 11 Have to look into my current subscription, because it’s with a different carrier than the one Apple made an exclusive deal with.

@Plurk - Haven’t tried it yet. Any good?

@Entrelist - Maybe it would be a good idea to make ‘Recent Projects’ into a tag cloud, instead of a list. Also, I don’t think Entrelist is big enough to necessitate RSS feeds for the different ‘Projects’. The layout would look cleaner if these two changes were implemented. Finally, the quick post on the main page - when logged in - could use two things: (1) option to add a title - nice for the people who have EL in their RSS feeds (2) Make the text input field bigger, lets say twice as big? OK, those were my 2c

@Peter - that was a very interesting art …

@Peter - that was a very interesting article, but I am not sure how I really feel about Facebook at the moment. I don’t really think they have a defined idea, everything seems a bit blurry at the edges.

@Puke.com (my new name for it) - Yes really not happy with it. There is a point at which AJAX puts me off. There is no need to have the timeline open whilst I am editing my profile, so don’t popup a box on screen, just let me view a normal page.

@IILWY - Neil you might also want a dictionary… Unicron what a truly great game, much prefer it to Tetris, especially because people cheat so much, and you get some really stupid words.

@Neil - Hope it wasn’t Safari’s fault, don’t want you to give up on it or anything.

This is the second I’ve composed this post. I’m far too enraged to explain how I managed to lose it the first time. Damn.

@Peter - thanks for the link. I came across that in my reader but I didn’t actually read it until you brought it to my attention. That’s EntreList-powered filtering at it’s best. Facebook do have a mainstream-friendly version of all the WebTech flavours-of-the-month, but they need to focus more on Twitter-esque coversation.

@Wakoopa, @Peter - congratulations on the new round of funding. The upcoming recommendation project sounds like it will be in safe hands then.

@Plurk.com - Ryan and I had a simultaneous Skype-chat/Plurk-testing session last night. It may be the hot topic right now, but I wasn’t particularly impressed with some of the design decisions, particularly those moving comment.count links…Has anyone else had a chance to try it?

@IILWY (I’mInLikeWithYou) - The guys at our favourite Tetris-morphing startup have added ‘Draw’ to their arcade suite. Ryan and I had a go on this too, and it’s pretty special (unless you’re using a trackpad, please use a mouse).
