Social Whoring
Linked In always had the atmosphere of a more serious and professional social networking site, unlike MySpace and Facebook where people seem to collect friends like stickers when they were younger. Then I discovered TopLinked, a site dedicated to letting people grow their network massively to people they've never met. The top member has 37 thousand connections. I just don't understand this, what is the point of having so many connections when there is no value in the connections themselves?

Postr 0.10
A new year, a new release of Postr. This release has some useful bug fixes. Now to finish off that grand refactoring...
- Use the GNOME proxy if set
- Don't try and upload images over 10Mb, as Flickr will reject them
- Add a big Upload button to the window
- Fall back on ISO-8859-1 when reading metadata
- Don't show error dialogs with no message
The tarball is here, and packages for Debian are building now.
