Golly, I didn't know they still made shoes with tassles - your descriptions crack me up. The Macbook Air commercials are really effective, I want one SOOOOO bad, I can taste it. I want to slide it in and out of an interoffice envelope, they make it look so fun. Your computer geek people profiles are a hoot - you should write a short story... Tassles? Really?

Plaid shirt festooned with food stains, pants 3/4" too short. 1989 nerd glasses. 40-60 pounds overweight, flatulent, knowledgeable. Crumpled photo of Wozniak's garage in their lunch pail with stuff on it that you don't want to touch. Retro Geek.

But personally I found that the only thing I used Facebook for was to read my friends' status updates. Maybe I'm just lazy, actually I know I'm lazy, but Twitter fits my social media needs to a T.

Don't get me wrong - I love Twitter. But these are two completely different platforms. Twitter does one thing really well; Facebook just has a LOT more functionality. And given a choice between .01% of Facebook's stock and a similar slice of Twitter's, I'll take for former. Not that I get to pick either one.

I haven't followed any of these micro startups - have any of the y-combinator companies been bought or gotten decent venture funding? I like the idea of these.
