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.

  • 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.
