Totally unrelated to this post but I see no submission form and too long for twitter.

I see lifehacker has recently changed their comments to show newest at the top. Huffington post also. Standard for most sites is newest at the bottom.

Have you considered which is better?
I would love a long answer or appreciate a short answer.

Unrelated to the post, but I’ve always wondered why # is called ‘pound’ instead of ‘hash’ in the US, yet twitter hashtags aren’t called ‘pound tags’.

Incidentally (and in the interests of making my comment less worthless): you can press # to skip the message on Orange phones in the UK.

Good point–I’ll update Cingular to AT&T, thanks.

It’s so freakin hot in Seattle, I have to be a stickler and say… “It’s 2009, Cingular is long gone and otherwsie known at AT&T”
