Dude, I had no idea you were a Grail reader, too.

Good catch. I've updated accordingly.

Re: level of seriousness, you are correct... I take Big Biscuit's actions very seriously. Who knows what's next? Triscuits might soon be labeled a "hearty wheat cake," and next thing you know, BAM!, cakes as we know them disappear from the planet.

@Daniel: Funny you mention that... I was just on your site, reading up, and trying the suggestion you posted in your forums: editing the date on server-side Drafts to be waaay in the future.

Turns out, this little trick also works for the iPhone app! Just tried it out, and edited a Draft (which remained in Draft status) from the server on the iPhone. Very cool.

And, by the way, MarsEdit is very impressive. A number of fellow Yahoo! folks use it and have spoken highly of it. I purchased ecto some time back (before you acquired ME from Ranchero), but have downloaded MarsEdit a couple times to see where things are at there... particularly in regards to remote server editing. From what I've seen, I think I'd now choose MarsEdit. (Hint, hint, to anyone reading.)

Just out of curiosity, what percentage of MarsEdit users 1) have more than 1 blog setup, and 2) have different blogging platforms configured? (In other words, do you see a fair number of folks with Blogger, Movable Type, *and* WordPress blogs all configured within the same instance of the MarsEdit app?)

Anyway, thanks for the note here, and keep up the great work on developing Mac apps.

@kentbrew: Amen. Looks like comment support is coming in 1.2, but the badge on the app's Home screen icon is even nicer.

Better yet (at least for people like me using Disqus to manage blog comments), a Disqus app (or Intense Debate app) alone would be great. I'd use that rather extensively.

Really great point there, Ricky, and very cogent. Also grt spllng; I can tell you're in a rush to get on to sharing your folksy wisdom on other blogs. Good day to you, as well.

Re: Since when did Google have Profiles?

Believe it or not, they've had 'em since they launched S2 (Google's Delicious/Facebook Share service) last September: http://googlesystem.blogspo...

Following up on our SMS chat, Messina posted a video showing how they're leveraging their Social Graph API to auto-suggest your other non-Google profile links: http://vimeo.com/1629060

Hmmm.... sorry, I wish I did, but don't have a clue. You may want to reach out to Mike (from Adobe) over at http://www.mikechambers.com...

If you find out, please feel free to post back here, in case others are stuck, too.

Sure. I'm not sure what the Pick List roadmap looks like for Y! Shopping, but currently most of the links there are broken, which makes me think its not being supported long-term. If it is, then absolutely, providing a means to incorporate a user's diverse set of shopping desires would be great.

Gabe,

Dude. Great meeting you back in Omaha, and I really enjoyed our chat. Glad to hear I could humanize Yahoo!'s developer outreach efforts. Our whole group is made of folks who are really passionate about empowering anyone on the Web to build innovative products. So while I *do* like Yahoo! Search and Flickr, I'm equally excited about what others are building (whether using our tools, others', or on their own). Definitely stay in touch here... would love to see what your next project is. (Btw, Tweply looks nice.)

Glad we had the chance to meetup. cheers, -micah!

Thanks, LaMar. Glad to hear that. We specifically built these based on user comments after we released our Android app. Let us know what you think of them, too, after you pick 'em up on the NOOKcolor. And keep the feedback coming...
