    @senexx So I've tried out the Poll feature and learned a few things in the process: (a) it's pretty basic (b) it's not anonymous (c) if you have a Twitter link the poll and responses are posted to Twitter. http://gitorious.org/statusnet/mainline/blobs/master/plugins/Poll/README

      Just things worth keeping in mind when deciding whether to use the built-in poll or external ones (e.g. the Stubborn Mule blog polls, which sits on top of PollDaddy).

      Voted, looked at my twitter feed - only if you've connected your Stable and Twitter feeds it seems. I disconnected mine a few months back.

      Thanks for pointing that out...just found Kouk's takedown. It seems that Joye was so upset, he blocked Kouk's twitter account!

    Sometimes the site seems to be redirecting to the blog instead of the Stable. Don't know why. Anyone else noticed that?

    @danny have you read the Ingham money book? Didn't find a review on your site.

    • Danny Yee Danny Yee

      @sean no, I haven't read the Ingham - or the Graeber - and was wondering which one I should go for.

      about 2 days ago
    • Sean Carmody Sean Carmody Danny Yee

      Graeber is more entertaining, but Ingham strikes me as very rigorous. Both bring a useful perspective to the question of money: sociology rather than economics.

    @mark there was a Planet Money podcast about the Rodgers and Reinhardt error which took some comfort from the fact that the error was picked up. Reminded me of the difficultly of getting any interest in the baby bounce error.

      Here's the podcast. http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/2013/04/19/177999020/episode-357-how-much-should-we-trust-economics

      @sean I had the same thought when I heard that podcast. BTW I blame you for my Planet Money addiction -- I've even pledged for the animal spirits t-shirt http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/planetmoney/planet-money-t-shirt

      I am very envious! I got behind in my podcast listening and by the time I listened to that one, the Kickstarter campaign had finished...no t-shirt for me :(

      Performance has been enhanced too

    • Sean Carmody Sean Carmody

      MInd you, it will probably be the last upgrade: although I hadn't updated it for quite a few years, it looks as though the current version is almost 2 years old, so no longer actively maintained. Oh well.

        Guessing that's different from the favourite/like button on a status

      • Sean Carmody Sean Carmody Australian Politics & Overseas Politics

        Yes. Up above where you fill in your status, there are choices for "Status", "Bookmark", "Event", "Poll" and "Question". The bookmark is not all that much different from posting a link though.
