Was never much of a fan of the tweetdeck/mastodon column layout - particularly as I often have my screen portrait. Trying out @pinafore and finding it very nice! Also, very nice and snappy on a touch device - we need more webapps like this!

How to NOT handle privacy:
Huffington Post throws this at new visitors,
giving the appearance of freedom to choose privacy or to become a commodity,
