i have to disagree with your hope that they mere the @ and D functions. one of the things i love about twitter (when i'm procrastinating) is tracking certain conversations with the "in reply to" links. there's often info that i want to direct to someone but would also like others to see. getting rid of this feature and only allowing direct messages would be a mistake IMHO.

Re: AOL One Step Behind Again: New Home Page Identical To Yahoo

hillary hartley — Fri, 27 Apr 2007 04:50:21 -0000

this is incredible, and sad.

agree w/ #4 Yakito -- hard to believe a team of people actually got paid to design (read: "steal"), code, test, and launch this... and at no point did anyone say, "hey, this is exactly like the yahoo home page. should we do something else??"

re. #17 Anif -- at least they have since changed the search buttons. a sign that perhaps they read TC?

Re: Philadelphia Jelly = Cream Cheese Sessions?

hillary hartley — Fri, 04 May 2007 20:57:13 -0000

Iâ€™m considering contacting twitter to set up a â€œPhillyCreamCheeseâ€ group that people can join, and Iâ€™ll send out an notice (or anyone, really) that Iâ€™m working from location â€œXâ€ today, and anyone can join me. Impromptu Coworking at itâ€™s finest, dontcha think?

such a great idea. there's a huge coworking scene in SF -- i would totally join a twitter coworkingSF group.

adding to the quicksearch (/) functionality is the quicksearch of LINKS ONLY. type ' (apostrophe) and the find only searches URLs. great for hopping to a link when trying to only use the keyboard in gmail.

didn't know about CTRL-T -- god bless comments!

shelley, it might be time for you to go away.

i've agreed with many of your points, but it's the attitude that i don't get. i'm sorry you're not on the A-list (just read your blog for the first time after scanning these comments); but hell, most of us aren't even on the Z-list.

i'm rooting for zooomr, b/c i think they *will* change the game. am i disappointed that after two failed launches they haven't gotten any sysadmin help for kristopher? yes, but i also can't really speak to it -- the whole money where your mouth is thing.

what's hilarious is that the press release link is suddenly 404. i've seen it linked in almost every blog and article i've read about the power outage. i guess they decided to simply delete it!

agreed!! i sent this email to twitter HQ back in march... i guess their answer was "no."

http://urltea.com/12lo?emai...

just re-read and realize how funny it sounds to talk about scoble having nearly 1000 followers. oh how things have changed!

anyhoo, i think we should start a campaign to get twitter to make it optional.

perhaps you should do a recap like this every month. you produce so much content -- link blog, twitter, twittergrams, videos, blog posts -- that it's hard to consume it all.

however, your short-and-sweet recaps just made me want to stay up another hour or two watching these vids. alas, i will go to bed, but i'm bookmarking this post!

Re: 10 Future Web Trends

hillary hartley — Fri, 07 Sep 2007 15:02:09 -0000

This is a well-written summary of all 10 technologies and trends. However, like others have said, these things are happening NOW. I can't even imagine what will be happening in 10 years.

Think about how much things have changed in the last ten years. Now think about how much things have changed in the last five...or how about TWO years!

A good number of people have already given up on premium cable or satellite in favor of downloading their favorite shows. The iPhone has changed the mobile game forever. Rich Internet Apps are here to stay -- especially with Microsoft getting in the game with Silverlight.

I think you're right to say that the "true promise" of these technologies has yet to be fulfilled; and perhaps we are, indeed, "a few years" out. But TEN? No way.

Re: The 10 rules of Twitter (and how I break every one)

hillary hartley — Sun, 23 Sep 2007 18:59:03 -0000

i feel the need to point out that these "rules" have in no way been outlined by twitter, inc. some of the comments seem to assume the rules are coming from the creators; but i think robert is responding to critique from users.

5. Don’t assume other people are having the same experience you are.

and don't assume that your rules work for everyone else. right? :)

i am liking this update a lot. however, the "office sublets" example is, unfortunately, just lucky for you. i am in san francisco (and have my zip code set to sf w/in yahoo), and still all 5 top suggestions are about new york, nyc, or manhattan.

Re: Copyright Claim Erases Parody Video From YouTube

hillary hartley — Tue, 18 Dec 2007 10:53:19 -0000

If this is a true quote:
"You can't steal people's work," Gross said, pointing out that the "Bubble" video did not parody Hartwell's image, and therefore is not covered by the fair use provisions of copyright law.

...then it seems to me Lane needs to get a new lawyer. He is clearly not a copyright lawyer. I'm glad he was willing to help her, but if it ever went any further it sounds like he's get schooled.

Re: The Making of the HBO Feature Presentation Intro

hillary hartley — Thu, 14 Feb 2008 17:15:30 -0000

Awesome find, Scott.

Have you ever been to film night in Bryant Park (NYC) in the summers? The best moment of the entire evening is that they start each film with this video -- HBO must be a sponsor. Inevitably, the entire crowd gets up off their picnic blankets and dances around with their arms flying through the air. It's a lot of fun.

You really should make the UPDATES more prominent. Put them at the top of the post or something. This is *not* a Twitter bug. As with most things, the problem was human error.

Looks like I kept this window open a little too long before posting my comment (#21). Arrington admits it was a "backdoor trashing" - comment #10.
