@geoffgauthier So many good mining terms like that.

@swirlee They changed its name. It’s now called “keyboard shortcuts”.

@ttscoff You’re convincing me to give it a bit more of a chance. Do you use it on iPhone too?
@ttscoff I very aggressively prune my following list so that I *can* read everything. Seems like some clients don’t support that well.
@ttscoff Another beef (if you’re not ignoring me by now) - when moving up a list, it should scroll a page at a time, not by tweet.
@ttscoff I think it comes down to I’m an inbox-zero kind of guy, and Tweetdeck is made for “pilers”.
@ttscoff Socialite does the tweet tracking across lists trick.
@ttscoff Also don’t like that it doesn’t update the dock icon with an unread count badge. (I’m one of those.) Trying j/k/h/p now.
@ttscoff I think I also dislike that Tweetdeck doesn’t track when I read a tweet in one list, and remove it from others it’s also in.
@ttscoff I can barely stand to look at Tweetdeck.
@ttscoff Echofon and Socialite both have it beat. Echofon gets extra credit for aping Gmail’s shortcut keys.
I keep trying TweetDeck, but I can’t get past the ugly, and lack of decent keyboard navigation. It’s so popular; I’m the weird one, right?
@bradlinder Follow up question (if you don’t mind): how do you keep track of email messages you want to come back to?
@bradlinder Haha - sorry. Serious question though: are you more comfortable with stuff in your inbox, i.e. does empty make you nervous?
@bradlinder Yeah, but are you ever going to go back to it? And if you do, why not find it in All Mail instead of Inbox?
@bradlinder Why leave them in your inbox? Sounds like you could just select all, archive, and *poof*, inbox zero!
@bradlinder Ditto. I think if you already had a mature set of filters, and you keep your inbox clean, Priority Inbox is sort of meh.

Twitter’s iPad app could be fixed by simply allowing a user to deselect a selected app by tapping on it. That’s what’s confusing people.

Hey @lorenb, Twitter for iPad is really growing on me. Any plans for syncing your position on iPhone / iPad / Mac versions?
ironicsans I need Ping like I need another social network.
Yikes. Somehow I had it in my head that it was Friday night. Oops.
@Ihnatko I find Twitter for iPad a little off-putting too. It’s gee-whiz neato, but a bit too clever for its own good.
@chockenberry Couldn’t agree more - the title bar change is nice, but the grey is… too grey. No visual cues.
Hey, @chartier - I just got the dreaded “The information on this page is outdated” error in iTunes 10.
dmoren “Hey, does this rag smell like chloroform to you?”
I’ve been getting a headache every afternoon this week. Finally realized I haven’t been drinking enough water… that’s probably it.
@emiliecole That makes sense, but Kara replied and told me it was intended as a joke. If it was, I didn’t (and still don’t) get it.
@geehoneybee Didn’t try it.
@geehoneybee Tried that Stanley Park Brewery beer you left at my place last night. You weren’t kidding about the aftertaste… Yikes!
@geoffgauthier Hughson’s good, but I’d have to go with Jim Robson. “Greg Adams, Greg Adams!”
Seriously Google… Please to be giving me with the Priority Inbox. I will be thanking with you for all times.
I guess I’m not hip enough to understand this new style of “joke”.
@karaswisher If the joke had been funny (or even obviously a joke), I would never have written that first comment. Sorry to have offended.
@karaswisher I was asking someone else who had already found the definition odd if they thought it was a joke and maybe I missed it.
I had a journalist for the Wall Street Journal tell me to “chillax”. What have you done this morning?
Apparently I have no sense of humor.
RT @karaswisher: @jasonclarke you’re making that up and you are wrong. It is a JOKE in the post, so chillax yourself.
@aryayush @karaswisher replied to me, and says it was a joke and that I should lighten up. Did it read like a joke to you?
@karaswisher Fair enough, I guess, but it sure doesn’t read that way.
@aryayush Still seems like an odd choice. Readers have access to dictionaries too. Maybe she was trying to imply that Steve uses big words?
Weird. @karaswisher thinks her readers are too dumb to know what “onerous” means? http://j.mp/cGhbXX

@leemathews That’s awesome! Sluggishness was the only real problem with the Pre, as far as I’ve heard. Cool that it’s not!
Just read, “I am a hard working individual, motivated by the knowledge of my skills and experience.” What does it mean?
@leemathews And I hear it’s hella fast… but has a small battery life issue. :-)
@bradlinder I sure hope so. It’s the only reason I jailbreak right now. LockInfo is way better than iOS’s standard notifications.
So both iOS 4.1 and 4.2 have been announced and previewed, and _still_ no fix for the awful notification system?
