Tim, why not be a contributor for VatorNews? We have a lot of founders/execs/VCs - essentially thought leaders - who are posting their columns there. It's easy to become a contributor. Just go to the newsroom, hit contributor and then hit "become a contributor."

Preparing a first cut of our OpenSocial app. Personally, I find the Facebook platform to be a bit better designed and easier to work with. The fact that OS is completely client side also makes performance and tweaking very important - simple things can get heavyweight quickly. on March 17

We're working on our strategy for reviews in the social context. Obviously, the incentive model needs to be slightly different to appeal to users vs. e-commerce companies. What do you find useful about existing social reviews tools? What could be better? on February 24

Thinking about how we can improve login/registration. In addition to "normal" login, we also support OpenID and Facebook (Twitter once they roll out oAuth), but need to simplify. Ideas? Any great examples out there of people who just nailed the signup problem? on January 30
