I am addicted to tweets. I can’t get enough of them. These one to two liner posts to twitter might as well be a new chocolate similar to Treats (remember those?). Friends are able to keep up with my life by following my tweets which I can easily send via SMS at [...]

Some useful tips from Chinwag on design tools for selecting colors and fonts on your prototypes.

Yahoosoft or Microhoo

Personally I think Yahoosoft rolls of the tongue better however I don’t think they will get top billing if Steve Ballmer’s marriage proposal gets the formal yes.
