So is there a way for a small group of users to track their usage of web applications on the intranet that aren't visible to the public?

I agree. You can't actually tear the object context. Took a while before I found "Open in New Window" on the Window menu.

Print is so completely weird. You can print the currently selected tweet, or the displayed list.

I'd like to open the Preferences dialog from the menu bar.

I also came from Twitterific and don't want Tweetie cluttering up my dock. It's the only item on my menubar that doesn't have a dropdown menu. Tweetie is a utility that shouldn't be included in Expose or cmd-tab list. Why can't you move the menubar menus into the menubar icon? Quicksilver windows work fine without a dock icon.

"New Direct Message", "New VIdeo Tweet", "Refresh", "About" and "Preferences" and "Print" are, afaict, the only menu items not somewhere else in the UI. The only menu item I've used so far was Preferences, to edit account settings and try to hide the Dock icon.

Was trying to report an issue with continually being logged out, and found that I can't create a ticket any longer.

Missing rel="me" on profile pages

My Youtube profile page doesn't have a way to specify rel="me" on urls to other website profiles.

The other non-email "Send to" features in Google Maps seem intended to get your location to another device you control. The "Send to Email" feature seems intended to share the location with other people.

Currently I use "Send to Email", and enter an address that's checked by my iPhone. Then I click that link to open it in Google Maps on the phone. However, it's a pain to have to retype the email address every time. It would be nice to have Google Maps remember preset email addresses to send to, possibly using the Address Book / Contacts from GMail.

A better solution would be to add "Phones" or "Cars" to the list that are just arbitrary preset emails rather than a device-specific protocol.

@MDNZ That's quite likely, and if so, is somewhat less ridiculous than the 29.99$ QuickTime Pro Tax, at least if the Remote is considered a separate product. Still, I would have preferred the Remote be included with Keynote itself.

What is this website?

I have no idea what this website is for, and it's asking for my twitter account information. Needs improved About and/or FAQ pages.
