I'm yet to include notifications (I'm developing it in my spare time), but support will be there eventually.</p>Scott GoldieSun, 24 Feb 2008 00:51:08 -0000http://avc.com/2008/02/more-thoughts-o/#comment-151896<p>I wrote a post on this on tuesday and the related/supposed exodus of facebook users to twitter in which is partly an excuse to work in a phrase like "...as though seized by a grand mal craptileptic fit in spam factory" into a sentence (as describing this same facebook problem as it happens)</p><p><a href="http://www.thomaspurves.com/2008/02/12/facebook-vs-twitter-as-latest-refuge-of-the-nerds/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.thomaspurves.com/2008/02/12/facebook-vs-twitter-as-latest-refuge-of-the-nerds/">http://www.thomaspurves.com...</a></p><p>But it looks like facebook understands the problem and is making (some) progress to put "some of the bad bits of the toothpaste back in the tube"</p>Thomas PurvesFri, 15 Feb 2008 10:02:05 -0000
