how about a social place that lets us suggest features for social places

Of course, a couple hundred thousand other facebook users were thinking the same thing: "Why do I have to make up a story, like, "from beating a purse-snatcher off of his second cousin who then invited me to dinner at the family home," when I could just say, "met online."

Lest we overwhelm techmeme with posts on good feature requests, it would be nice to have a social app that acted as a centralized input point for passionate or frustrated users to visit and add feature requests (and bug finds) for some of the most common social spaces--like myspace, like facebook, like friendster, like second life, like kaneva.

And, let's add a wish list while we're there: "Hey you young, savvy, 14-year-old innovators, if there were a site that did x, y, z, you'd have All My Attention and all the VC money you could count--now go make it so!"

Think of the competitive fun--MySpace gets to see exactly what users want in FaceBook and vice versa; YouTube gets to see what's bugging Google Video users, etc.

Just thinking outloud. It's what old people do.

half way to 90

Can I just say that you guys are the frigging best? I am now just a few tenspots away from my new macbook, and am carefully weighing things like: should i get applecare? should i get the extra memory? do i need Office for the mac to swap .doc files with my clients who are PC strident? And please tell me track changes work in Word when passing .docs back and forth... Stuff like that.

In the mean time, I am overwhelmed and remain blown away by the response to helping me make the switch at a time when, well, life has been a bit challenging. Thank you all so much--for every email, every prayer, every good thought, every everything you have all sent my way.

And the special presents today... for the girl who has everything... like this:



and this:



I mean really. Do people who don't use the Internet get stuff like this for their birthdays? I say NAY! No they do not.

Well, I hear the scotch tape dispenser tearing away downstairs, which can only mean that Jenna is putting up birthday signage to make my day. I have an incision to clean, a breakfast menu to review, and blessings to count.

thank you all
