Highlights from this week’s 37signals staff posts at Twitter.
@uptonic: Photo: The Evolution of Privacy on Facebook http://tumblr.com/xbf9vlz9c
@rjs: The money-to-code ratio at Diaspora is out of whack. Having a pile of money so you can “focus” on a project means nothing.
@mattlinderman: Need to edit an MP3 track? You can trim tracks in iTunes itself. Get info > Options tab > use Start and Stop times. http://bit.ly/cloLWW
@rjs: I wish iTunes could exclude artists that only appear on compilations from artist view.
@jasonfried: Highly recommending “Revising Prose”. The best book on writing & editing I’ve ever read: http://amzn.to/a3xxRx
@joshpeek: Its obvious when developers don’t use the software they create
@bitsweat: We need better domain language for third-party authorization. Consumer/client/app/agent are wishy-washy and generic.
@jasonfried: Christian Heilmann interviews @dhh in London about REWORK: http://bit.ly/cFv8Lg
@mattlinderman: 30% of population believes they have food allergies. Only 5% actually do. http://nyti.ms/c6isg7 Theory: Americans love to invent fears.
@kiranmaxweber: The Icelandic word for computer is Tölva (völva/prophetess and tala/number) – “Goddess who sees the future with numbers.” http://ow.ly/1JQfi
@jasonfried: I was on Chicago Public Radio’s Eight Forty-Eight this morning talking about REWORK. Audio: http://bit.ly/cTI8M8
@sh: When people don’t pay you for your time, they rarely value it.
@37signals: “Getting Real”, our book on building software, is now available in the iBook Store on the iPad: http://bit.ly/d7xlKB
@37signals: A reading guide for REWORK Japanese edition:
http://bit.ly/chopEl. Offers translation footnotes for Japanese readers of the book.
@jasonfried: A flight attendant explains how to pack for 10 days in a carry-on: http://nyti.ms/9chfb6
@rjs: This interview with a creator of the original Super Mario Bros is a fascinating design case study: http://bit.ly/cycVye (tx @bitsweat)

on 14 May 10I strongly disagree with Jason and David about not including the Idea persons in a startup team. Without the idea there is no product.

on 14 May 10The formatting of these “This week in Twitter” posts is awful in RSS (at least in Google Reader). You might want to have a look.

on 15 May 10@rjs: iTunes excludes artists that are only present on compilations as long as the “Is part of a compilation” option is set for the album. Select the album or all tracks, select Show Info (or Apple-I) and look under the last tab. (I’m not sure what the option is called in English, I’m using iTunes in Swedish.)
You might have to set “Group Compilations” in Content->Column Browser too. (Again, not sure what these are called in English.) I don’t see compilation-only artists in iTunes with these settings, at least.
