Forrst: a Twitter for Geeks

That, and not all your online friends are going to be interested in the esoteric details of your craft. Forrst seeks to give designers and developers a place to share all their “little somethings” in a beautiful, social setting. It’s a bit like Tumblr (Tumblr), but focused specifically on the task at hand. It’s also kind of like Dribbble, but with code-friendly formats, too.
Although Forrst is currently invite-only, I look forward to seeing how this site will do; it sounds like it could be an interesting concept. I’ve submitted an application to the site and will post more if it’s accepted.

Friday, June 18th, 2010The term “web site” has finally been changed to “website”. I have been meaning to post something on this since the press release came out on June 2, but the link got lost in my clutter.
“In making the change, the Stylebook team considered responses from our staff as well as readers and users of the Stylebook. It was clear that website has become the widely accepted usage,” said Darrell Christian, AP editor-at-large.
I don’t know why it took so long, but I’m glad it’s finally one word. I just need to re-train myself when I type it now.
