  1. It's interesting using a DB system in v. 0.1. CouchDB is world-class amazing, but we're waiting to use some features to see how they evolve.
  2. Updating FeedMagnet to pull in RSS feeds this morning. Also working on some final UI tweaks before letting beta users in to the system.

  4. We're all about open source and sharing. Our fist contribution - a function for date formatting in Javascript: http://budurl.com/jsdate
  5. I love this 404 message from HootSuite - especially the reasons why you may be here: http://ow.ly/i/8pd
  6. @rroocckkyy Your drive-to-work tweet totally threw us off. You're in our test feed and it looked like we were spitting out code on accident!

  14. So we decided on a name for our little squid mascot: Inkbert McSquibbles. Check him at at @inkbert

  17. Just switched over to Slicehost last week. Their datacenter went down this morning. Back up soon. Making plans for redundant servers. :)
  18. Anybody got any ideas for naming our unofficial squid mascot? http://budurl.com/fmsquid
