Techcrunch has a story about how fanbox changed the way they handle people who want to unsubscribe. Duncan Riley gives them the benefit of the doubt. I dont know if he should. This is the same company as sms.ac. They’ve already been through this before. I believe they knew exactly what they were doing, and decided to go ahead and do it anyway. You cant give someone the benefit of the doubt forever.

I also hate the way that they get people to enter in the details of their email accounts. This is deceptive. I know its the same functionality that linked in, facebook, and a bunch of other sites offer to see which of your friends are members of their service, but the language here seems to be a bit more dishonest. They should mention that they are going to check your contacts to find friends who use the service or something like that.

I got a message in my gmail, and I thought it looked like spam. But it was from a name Ive been expecting something from for the last few days. I opened it and realised that it was spam, but saw how it was a different kind of spam. Instead of a link in the email to a dodgy website, this one has a link to Google.

This is the Search Result Page

Iv never seen anything like this before. I hate when spammers get clever.

I hate dancing more than I can possibly explain. I hate doing it myself, which I can’t anyway, but I loathe and resent the necessity to try. I hate watching other people do it. I hate the way it breaks up conversation. I hate the slovenly mixture of sexual exhibitionism, strutting contempt and repellent narcissism that it involves. I hate it when it is formless, meaningless bopping and I hate it (if anything even more) when it is formal and choreographed into genres like ballroom or schooled disco. Those cavortings are so embarrassing and dreadful as to force my hand to my mouth.

Stephen Fry

Stephen Fry, the funniest man alive, has started podcasting. The first one was ok, but this is an excerpt from the second one, and it is one of the funniest things I’ve ever heard.

I read about some of the drama about friendfeed over the last couple of days and thought id try it out.

While playing with it I started realising that what friendfeed really would be awesome as a feature for twitter. Right now its the other way around, twitter is a feature on friend feed. If you could create a friendfeed client like snitter, wouldn’t that pretty much eliminate the need for twitter for a lot of people?

I dont think you can send messages to twitter using friendfeed as of right now, but that shouldn’t be too difficult to to do. But once that functionality is in their, twitter becomes superfluous to a lot of people.
