Does Twitter turn its back on Chinese web users?
This week, Twitter has announced that it’s changing the way people sign in to a method called oAuth. From a security point of view, the new sign in system offers several advantages.
However, users in censored countries like China and Iran will no longer be able to use Twitter through the web. Until now, Twitter has not yet come up with a solution for this.
Displaying post dates: why Twitter forces you to think
Everyone just seems to love the way Twitter displays its post dates: 5 minutes ago, about 9 hours ago, etcetera. It’s one of those examples where everybody just copies everybody without giving it a second thought. And yes, it certainly has a nice tone of voice, and it looks really user-friendly. But it isn’t. It forces you to think.
Fortunately, it’s easy to improve this elapsed time notation. In this post, I’ll explain how to make it work, and I offer a php function that you can just drop into your project.

Improving interfaces using Greasemonkey: TweetDeckColorSchemes.com
TweetDeckColorSchemes.com collects all color schemes tweeted by TweetDeck users. However, the way they present the color samples doesn’t make it easy for you to pick a color scheme. So I created a little Greasemonkey script to improve the presentation.
