Hello,
So I've been thinking: a big problem with the Me Menu
comes from the fact that there is not an universally
recognized word for the act of microblogging. There
are tweets, dents, and Facebook made the rather
poor choice of using status updates (increasing
the confusion with IMs)
One thing

the familiarity of this layout to make the purpose

great mockup, Conscious!!
One of the reactions to the mockup will be we don't
have the menu item for customizing About Me anymore.
Well, quite frankly, it is a Preferences-like
item.

So how do you define started doing something else?
Something else is mouse and/or keyboard activity in an other

I think this does quite a lot for clearing up the purpose of that field.
But if you just look at that without prior/external knowledge, you still
would have to ask: Say where? To whom?
I agree. In fact, seconds after sending the mockup I wondered if it
wouldn't confuse users into thinking it
Yes, the broadcast field is certainly a learnable feature in the
MeMenu.
It will make publishing your current thought to the world very
comfortable, i'm sure.
But please somebody help me understand why i have a field to publicly

I still think it's unclear what that text box does. I made a quick

Hi, ayatana list!
Perhaps the text above the text-box should be in the form of a question,
similar to how Facebook, Identica and Twitter ask.
What's on your mind? or something like that.
Since Me-menu shows the text-box only after account details have been
entered, we can assume that the users
both of those sound good, especially pinning now that it's taking off.
Basically my thinking is one should be able to tweet just as fast as they
can contact sally. But then again fishbowl id say failed so it is simpler to
in some regards to just have the broadcast and have everything else online.

would resizing in a grid not help with all this? It would be easier to snap
application windows to each other this way. It would also make resizing
faster in general as far as i can imagine.
A grid is an interesting idea, especially if we

Other then slightly modifying the top image with configure buttons for the
