Tweetie 2.0 Mac & iPhone will utilize the same... →
Loren Brichter reminds us of the real synergy of the iPhone platform that many, many other app stores completely forget (or choose to be silent about):
It’s been a long process, but it will be worth it. Once I sync the codebase for Tweetie for Mac and Tweetie for iPhone, expect an explosion in functionality. I will be able to explore new features in Tweetie for Mac, pushing out updates there...

Using an iPhone is a bit like using nothing at all. It really is a remarkable product. Everything about the device and hardware melts away, and the efficiencies of the interface (even in the original, as noticed in my wife’s 1st-gen iPhone) reduces almost all the friction between you and the task you need to accomplish.

Ikea + Verdana = subversive viral campaign? →
Monoscope calls shenanigans:
This all smells very much like a viral campaign to get the aesthetically sensitive[…]to get Ikea back on their brand radar.
