     @evan Let's put it this way. It took me 3 hours to get used to !sn 1.0 but it's taken me 3 weeks and counting to get used to !Gnome 3

     @evan except when it means a major LOSS of functionality. identi.ca could be a trend setter - why do you want it to be a trend follower?

     I formed my expectations for Identi.ca based on what's commonly done on Identi.ca. This particular deviation makes the site harder to use ;)

     @evan threaded messages were the key feature i relied on to convert twitter users to identi.ca. When people saw that, their minds blew!

     @evan That, and full history view. Being able to see every dent since your lonely times, to my first dents, to current date, is priceless.
