I love Twitter and can’t remember life before it. It’s a whole new channel of communication, with its own dynamics and conventions. I like how [it] fits nicely between instant messaging and blogging, and I hope one day it will be as pervasive as the phone.
Yeah buddy, keep dreaming.
Lifehacker is so stupid sometimes. I don’t need a blog to tell me I can put my laptop on two boxes.

For your information we’ve included some brief details of the changes made and the new features and options added to the new build of grabup. Due to a large increase in server traffic we’ve been forced to add some non-intrusive adverts to the grab hosted pages.

GrabUp just got lame :(

I understand they need to make money, but it’s a pretty shitty release. There is a generic “ad spot” placeholder and the “copy” buttons aren’t aligned and don’t even work. It’s not fluid, so screen shots wider than the layout just break out of the page.

I love this sort of super obscure easter egg. You know the only people who would know how to find that URL would enjoy it. Related, Episode 1 of This American Life: New Beginnings is mostly about…Episode 1 of This American Life.

David’s video interview with Forbes.

Thanks for finding it, andrewfox:

I love Marco’s spotlight*.  He looks so incredibly stressed and busy, they must have caught him at a tense moment.

* - bonus points for looking like a 6 year old did this.

They were filming this as I was talking on the phone to the reporter for this about Tumblr, Instapaper, and my views on media consumption.

Sweet video, but that flash player is hilariously ugly.
