sometimes "no" is the right answer. :P

why do you work for this company? Why does ANYONE work for this company? It's run by people that make the Vogons look efficient.

mean people suck, whether they are related to you or not. <hug>

My perception is no. Not to say your paranoia isn't unwarranted.

I'm sure YOU do, it's those people you work for. :P

In the 90s we called that dogfooding. It's pretty common these days, unless you work somewhere that is stuck in the last century. :P

It's internally consistent, at least, but there's a difference between content I generate as part of my presence (blog posts, podcasts) and content I generate as part of a conversation. Changing social content can have a material effect on the conversation whereas change a blog post or podcast can have less impact.

Even if you allow people to edit their social posts, I think it's important to flag when it has been modified. Maybe not show it if the edit occurred within X minutes or something. Facebook does this.

Wait, I can edit posts now ? That's neat. Maybe put a time limit on it?

@kdfrawg There was a time I could see myself programming for a living. Then I took a class in college on writing programs for X Windows. The final project for that class broke me. By then, I discovered that maybe being a sysadmin would be a better job for me.

@kdfrawg I didn't write from scratch but I did modify a couple of existing ones (one in AppleSoft Basic, the other in HyperCard).
