Depends on the country and culture. Where are you?
Re:Friendfeed release simpler, faster UI on Monday April 06, 2009 @05:27PM (#549693)
I've been using friendfeed and Twitter for months, but just noticed that FF let's you edit posts after posting. I think I can credit that to the new UI.

I always wondered what scenario I would have to revoke access. Thanks for the going rogue example. Any instance where that's happened to date?

I removed about 1300 friends a couple of months before that campaign ran. I could have had a year's worth of whoppers!

HN shouldn't accept URLs that have been posted. I almost reposted another article too.

Re:The problems with url shorteners on Friday April 03, 2009 @06:42PM (#545785)
One reason other URL shrinkers don't do opt-out previewing is because it defeats the purpose of the shrinker being convinient. For instance, I use bit.ly's plugin in my Gmail inbox. In two clicks, my URL is shrunk and pasted wherever I want it. If I had an automatic preview of the page, it would take longer to load, making the shrinking process less convenient.

Good comeback.
The more it leaves the nerd world, I'm starting to think that Twitter should rename oAuth to Twitter Connect, or something along those lines.
