I would really like to use your tool to implement the Reading List Apprenticeship Pattern. http://books.google.com/books?id=I3xF...=snippet&q=Reading%20List&f=false

The whole concept is broken. Endorsing your product should not be a COST to your users. That implies that in order to use one feature, users do something they would not want to do otherwise. If they think your product is good, they will WANT to tweet about it so it is not cost. If they do not think it is good, you are effectively forcing them to lie, to use a feature. Either way, your explanation above makes no sense.

You talk about DBI in the UI as a functional element, without explaining it in the UI prominently (Also see http://getsatisfaction.com/getsum/top... ), and you have a "big red button" in there to that screams 'click me' and then take no responsibility whatsoever for causing harm to users they never chose, by instantly doing an action that
a) the user really has no idea what it does (they do not know what DBI means nor what their DBI is nor what the message will look like)
b) has no confirmation (since the action was so mysterious I expected pushing thhe button would first give me the information that I needed to make the decision)
c) cannot be undone!

In addition, the tweet I now have in my twitter looks exactly like I used some violent app that tweets for me without asking me, making me look stupid. Just before that, I was about to write a genuine tweet that would have recommended you, in my style, and that would have most surely generated more traffic for you.

Do this: when users click the button, show them a dialog/message telling them that they are about to tweet. If you really want to play games with users, hide the DBI but show the rest of the message. Then give users the opportunity to customize the message if they want, appending the hidden DBI to the end of the message for example.

In Gnome (=Ubuntu 9.04 and earlier ones too I think), you can access at least the S60 phones directly with the cable or via bluetooth (at least this works with my E70). If you connect the phone via cable, make sure to connect it in "file transfer" mode. If you use bluetooth, you will need to have bluetooth turned on (on laptops it can often be disabled) and click the bluetooth icon in the status bar to "Setup new device". After doing that, right click the bluetooth icon and select "Browse files on device..." to have the phone's memory available as the directory "C:" and the memory card as "E:".

using m.twitter.com, that is adding "m." in front of any twitter user's URL, allows me to subscribe to anyone I want since the mobile site does not use the broken javascript.

Allowing twitter.com in flashblock seems to have helped, for a while. Then it broke again.

In opera it works.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, this is broken for me in Konqueror 3.5.10, in addition to Firefox 3.

To me, it does not have to do how many places it might store the data to, but simply to know if my files will change (write to ID3) or not (write to a db) - that is, if I take the files to another computer, will I have the lyrics with me or not. Or if the program is buggy or if my files are somehow slightly corrupt, is there a risk that my files will be totally corrupt after the operation.

So where the metadata is stored is crucial in this situation, in which I am deciding whether or not to save the lyrics or not.
