nice app, but I've got a lot of things set to beep and buzz and blink, so it can be hard to keep track. I just posted about a homescreen solution that mirrors priority inbox's desktop functionality... [bit.ly]

don't forget lightning bug, another great sleepytime app [btrandolph.com]

I shared some concerns about rapportive on a buzz thread yesterday. after some correspondence w scott and martin from the company, I wrote up a blog post [btrandolph.com] two main concerns - difficult/impossible to edit what's showing up and lack of knowledge among majority that their social graph is on display to…

@Unionhawk: the new settings offer a checkbox with which you can decline to have your facebook content indexed. there's still the minefield of other people on facebook, but at least it's not the whole interwebs. @Chaim Chaikin:

add-to-any: get sociable

I wanted to maximize real estate even before netbooks hijacked the lower half of the screen. tiny menu helps a lot; everything else I just drag up to the top row, deleting the stuff I don't use (like the nav buttons). somehow or other this has worked pretty well for me all along, even without stylish, greasemonkey et…

I love mint in theory, but they have not been able to get my banks to play nice and I cannot bring myself to go through the hassle of switching banks...maybe the intuit hammer will do the trick

the trick about dragging the favorite frind list to the top so it opens by default is one I've shown to lots of friends. now that so many people arre integrating facebook into their professional personae, friend lists are also a quick way to manage access to your information through privacy settings. I updated earlier…

makes for a nice sidebar app that I can use to try it out (bookmark, force open in sidebar)

seems unnecessarily complex when you can just use TED (torrent episode downloader). works great for me [www.ted.nu]
