I was *so* disappointed to miss this due to illness. Will watch the video today. I can't wait for my CD to arrive :)

I've no idea who she is, but I really can't see what the fuss is about.

Re: Glue Labs: Thumb-down

I'm sure by now that you're all fed up with me asking for this, but I've said from the launch that not every review of an item is going to be a positive one.

So can we please have a 1-5 star rating? :) At least 1 star doesn't seem as bad as a "thumbs down", which to me infers a zero rating, just as a "thumbs up" can only really mean a 5 - nothing less than that..

1-5 seems so much more flexible. Granular is the way to go, IMHO.

It's "Armorize", not "Amorize". The latter sounds like a new dating site...

Do you plan to make this work on other Amazon sites such as amazon.co.uk?

I follow the CDC Twitter account @CDCemergency. It's good enough for me.

Re: So Ashton Is The First To One Million Followers. Will Oprah Be The Fastest?

Ashton who?

If he can afford to donate $100,000, why wait till he gained the followers on Twitter?

And how many children died while folk waited for "the race" to be won?

Sheesh.

I think this is missing the point.

Twitter is the almost like the new email. And how many celebrities regularly email their fans? Very, very few.

I think what some may have missed about Twitter when the service first started is the traction that it would gain when *ordinary people* started using it. Not early adopters, not celebrities. Just non-techy folks who want to communicate with each other.

Locally, at least, I've seen a big increase in folk I know, who aren't into following celebrities, starting to use Twitter - they just wanted a simple-to-use tool to be able to tell their friends and others what's happening with their lives.

And isn't that really what Twitter was supposed to be all about?

Re: louisgray.com: Why I Still Prefer Twitter and FriendFeed to Facebook

I'm really not sure what the issue about the word "is" is on Facebook. Didn't they drop that *months* ago? I've just tried it, and FB certainly didn't add a spurious verb of any description.

Is this an article that was written a long time ago, and only just published now?

Welcome back, Sarah. I've never had a problem with BlueHost, and I'd certainly recommend them to anyone looking for hosting.

Ah, Louis. What a beautiful article. The death of a loved pet is a dreadful experience indeed.

Thinking of you.

Have you tried a MusicBrainz tagger? These get their tagging information from a "hive" database, driven by its users, which is intended to ensure the integrity of the tags in a way that none of the other tag databases do:
