  1. An easy way to know if a company sweats the details: when filling in a web form, does the tab key take you to the next logical form field?
  2. @jeffjarvis really glad that we did it that way. Improves access to high-quality content, plus encourages additional people to contribute.
  3. Today's video: why everyone should turn on Gmail's two-factor authentication: goo.gl/amHDG *You* should turn it on.
  4. @Jurassic_Pork from the NYT article: "Ms. Chiranuch had argued that she removed the comments as soon as she was made aware of them."
  5. This is awful. Webmaster in Thailand convicted for comments she didn't make on her web forum: goo.gl/n9Kh7
  6. Today's (long) video: Is it useful to have a section of my site that reposts articles from other sites? goo.gl/wi7so
  7. @johnmurch I think it will happen, esp. as 3G/broadband + peoples' comfort with the cloud keep increasing.
  8. @Ed if you point me to a public complaint, I'm happy to pass it to the right Chrome folks. The Chrome team does watch their bug tracker too.
  9. @MatthewWernikof glad the videos are helpful!
  10. @HmmmUK I try not to do it that often, but it's a really good resource :)
  11. @DanTup :)
  12. New Chromebooks coming, up to 2.5x faster: goo.gl/gms4e Good speed + long battery life + 3G => ever closer to a tipping point
  13. Webmaster Academy is a free set of helpful entry-level tutorials for site owners: goo.gl/gLkAB Please RT!
  14. Pretty crazy: someone chained six bugs to crack Chrome: goo.gl/vE3k1 Now fixed. Shows that Chrome is pretty secure.
  15. @pankaj my pref would be 5-6 recent tweets without the replies. That would give a much better picture of what to expect after following.
  16. @RizzoTees Maybe do a "double-wide" hovercard. @-replies and bio on the right, vital stats and recent broadcast tweets on the left.
  17. Dear @twitter, please include more tweets in hovercards & remove @-replies to simplify the "should I follow?" decision: twitpic.com/9pyxd2
  18. @KevinEsmeier that's pretty close to what my wife guessed.
  19. @mhueter do a reconsideration request from google.com/webmasters
  20. @briankrebs I'm from Kentucky, but a great guy on my team is from Alabama. We swap southernisms back and forth.
