Depends on the country and culture. Where are you?

United States, Midwest

I've been using friendfeed and Twitter for months, but just noticed that FF let's you edit posts after posting. I think I can credit that to the new UI.

Used to pay for basecamp. Then switched to Dropbox.

I always wondered what scenario I would have to revoke access. Thanks for the going rogue example. Any instance where that's happened to date?

I removed about 1300 friends a couple of months before that campaign ran. I could have had a year's worth of whoppers!

HN shouldn't accept URLs that have been posted. I almost reposted another article too.

One reason other URL shrinkers don't do opt-out previewing is because it defeats the purpose of the shrinker being convinient. For instance, I use bit.ly's plugin in my Gmail inbox. In two clicks, my URL is shrunk and pasted wherever I want it. If I had an automatic preview of the page, it would take longer to load, making the shrinking process less convenient.

True, but it is entirely opt-out with a single click. So it doesn't have to be there-- but for your clickers they can decide for themselves what they prefer.

There's always the choice not to participate in some activity.

Among other things, that would have solved the Great Depression, World War I, and Germany's hyperinflation in the thirties. Also AIDS.

Yep, Linkrot is right up there.

This comment suggests you don't understand my point. Which is basically that people will act in their own individual interest even when its obvious that if everyone does the same thing, bad things are the inevitable result.

The more it leaves the nerd world, I'm starting to think that Twitter should rename oAuth to Twitter Connect, or something along those lines.
