Patience is a virtue

Friends,

We're undergoing some pretty phenomenal growth at the moment -- our userbase is doubling about every 24 hours. Rest assured, we're going to make sure this party keeps rocking. But please bear with us as we transition servers, refactor code, and in general make this place more awesome.

In the meantime, please enjoy this photo of the 2nd largest hockey stick in the world (photo credit: Mykl Roventine)

Hi, there -

Would you care to

1. Point me to a public place for improvement/feature suggestions (maybe using Pligg http://www.pligg.com/ for user base popularity/voting/Digg style? Nozbe seems to take it in order of Request Popularity) - creative imitation is the main game here I think (see my posterous here - http://andersabrahamsson.posterous.com/big-screen-posting-without-med)

Still - no, not, never, never, never compromise with your obviously killing app - SimpliCITY - the town we all want to love to live in! The GrandMa Test is the optimal test - if she can use it, it is for everyone! Especially low-tech-poverty-stricken-agri-environment-in-low-income-country a k a Base of the Pyramid http://www.design4billions.com/ could use it too, besides the quick learning curve for the Local Voice Global Everywhere there is also the older generation wap phones still making it possible to blog wherever GSM/GPRS! - spreading fast...! Who care to win a 250 mil+ US / 550 mil+ EU when there is a 4bn+ HUGE market for SIMPLE AND CHEAP services?

2. Besides creative imitation, there is also creative originality - like your registration feature that might be industry standard after a while? 'Just EMAIL us!' Brilliant! A solution meme I want to see spread for the benefit of all of us strucken by registration and data portability fatigue... (www.dataportability.org).

One creative originality (also in the home of SimpliCITY - I suggested, is the

3. Open Event Stream Posting

over at http://andersabrahamsson.posterous.com/big-screen-posting-without-med

--
And to summarize - what we have been requested to do - what we plan to do - what we have done - use the strikethru feature, e. g. 30 boxes using it:

Anyways, good luck!

My generic streams of "andersabrahamsson unstructured" now set. @Vox. @Twitter. and now @Posterous! You caught me in the act almost on my way to reg Tumblr ;) looking for something in between.

Peace,
Anders

PS. Widgets, by the way ;) ? A posterous badge on my Typepad pro-blogging? That would be nice! DS.
