[...] More recently I have been using Bit.ly. I first learned about bit.ly via Redmonk’s Steve O’Grady, The Happy February Grab Bag: Bit.ly, Latitude, Pidgin and More. [...]

Thx for the reco re bit.ly. I’ve been using snipurl, for the statistics, but your example shows better stats than I get from snipurl. So I’ll have to give it a try.

Thanks! @clairegiordano

Me too- on the birthday front, and on the not following and not retweeting front. Would be curious to hear more about your twitter use patterns, as I feel like maybe I’m missing out on something- dunno.

(Pidgin as shipped in F10 remains stable as a rock for me, for what it is worth.)

hey man – nice round up. happy birthday month.

question- whenever i see your photos i am surprised you don’t border = “0″ to get rid of the weird margin. i think flat white frames your photographs better, and given yours in particular are becoming so *good*…

Been using Pidgin for a about 6 months after abandoning Trillian after many years. Pidgin additional plugins for facebook and twitter work fine but I am reading that Digsby supports them out of the box and allows status updated too, so considering changing

re Twitter: I chuckle when I compare James’ use to yours! I have rarely seen a more assiduous re-tweeter … and while I appreciate your reasons for not following, it’s hard not to take it personally :’)

And I was just about to say I’m having no trouble with Pidgin on WinXP when it refuses to start! Seems the “O’Grady weather effect” is spreading to software …

As a Pidgin developer, I’m currently working on things to try and get Pidgin’s stability to a reasonable level. Stay tuned if anything- you’re not alone.
