DISQUS

Twitters UX was always kind of "meh", but it has been cope-able since I began using it a couple of years ago. I thought they hired a UX person. If so, they need to rethink either who they hired or what their users want. The problem with Twitter is it has become too big for it's own good. The data is so rich now that the simple interface and data filtering points aren't cutting it anymore. Hashtags are a move in the right direction, but with all of the data out there to be had on Twitter, users need better filtering, and by just getting rid of a setting, they have only hindered their growth. Is this a quick test to see reaction? Not really an A/B test, but a "switch it off, gauge reaction and flip it back on?"

And as Wendy pointed out, people take my Twitter name and not only misspell it, but do it on purpose. I'm @periodicdesign, but people will use @periodicmoviegoer or @periodictraveler. When people ask, "why didn't you respond to my tweet?," I say, "What tweet?!" I don't call them by a different name, I use their name. If your name is John, I don't call you Bob.

If you do some searching on the interwebs, you'll find some great information on the history or locks and keys. What's ood is how the industry still has so much non-standardization. Of course,, that's a good thing because it keeps people from being able to do this with every locking system on the planet:

Colin, you raise a fantastic point! I never really thought about it until this post. It may be smarter just to get a semi-slick PHP Gallery installed and migrate everything over to a hosted platform (maybe not Dreamhost :p) and use S3 to host all of the large images?

I hate to not keep Flickr going (as my subscription is up in a month), but what does one do?

Thoughts?

But she's a princess. Of course, if that's the case, her and Paris Hilton should go toe-to-toe in the ring. That would be a sweet Celebrity Death Match.
