Care to provide a bit more on thingist? I clicked through and at first glance have a few ideas of what it is but not totally sure what I would use it for. Wit

  Sure :) Thingist is kindof like status updates, but with more context (and more available space [You can include a description of why you're posting it). Instead of a big bucket called "status", you separate things into different lists. For instance, I have a list called "Good Bars in Phoenix" (http://thingist.com/t/list/65/ http://thingist.com/t/list/65/) or a list called "Adventures in Nerdery", which is mostly projects I'm working on (http://thingist.com/t/list/139/ http://thingist.com/t/list/139/) There are some global lists like "songs I like" (which get added to people by default when they register) (http://thingist.com/t/global/38/ http://thingist.com/t/global/38/) The example for a use case I always use is finding music that you've posted into the internet. I've been posing songs I like into facebook for 5 years, but as far as I know there isn't a simple way of pulling them back out. Thingist [tries to] solve that. But it's more than just status, at least it's a new approach to it. Somebody joined a few days ago, and started posting "things on the menu at a nerd themed restaurant". This resulted in neat sort-of back and forth between us: ( http://thingist.com/t/global/2944/ http://thingist.com/t/global/2944/) (also: fixed the pagination buttons, oops)
