I know what you mean. I sit down and say to myself 'right, I can do three full reviews, work on the app then do some housekeeping on the site'. What actually happens is I write one review, start to publicise it a little, get distracted by a story on PreCentral, oh and hey what is everyone saying on Twitter, wait I gotta do this....three hours later and all I've done is make my review queue even longer

Wikipedia counts.

And thanks for the compliment, though I think you 'get it' more than you give yourself credit for.

That's a perfect way to support your local community. As long as they don't give you food poisoning as some of my local restaurants are prone to do....

I think the $50 is just a guide to give people an idea of something that could work, but definitely stick within a budget that works for you and support the groups that you like the most. Those two are great choices, btw.

I probably won't be buying $50 worth of Clif bars every month, for example, or $50 for in-game art and exclusives from LoL. But I can still support them with my wallet. :)

Re: “Would you miss me if I were gone?”

TIm — Fri, 25 Mar 2011 09:30:30 -0000

Interesting thought. But I don't spend $50/month on anything other than essentials. Food/Shelter/Transportation/Utilities(includes phone and internet). Not starbucks, not TV, not entertainment, not even webOS apps. But I could support a 3/5 program... Especially to support homebrewers like Canuck Coding and webOSinternals. Just sayin.

Re: “Would you miss me if I were gone?”

Well put! I definitely try to patronize local restaurants whenever I can...

I support Wikipedia. Does that count? Good writing. You're much better than I am at this blog stuff. :-)

Some thing that I have learned over time is that if people see and feel you as leader, they will follow. Your goal then is to be a good leader to get them to where the both of you want to go. This means listening and at times sharing the load with others. Leaders can't do it all alone all of the time.

continue with the the great work on the blog. I appreciate it. Could use some more frequent updates, but i'm quite sure that you got better or other stuff to do like we all do. ;)

Re: LIST: webOS Apps For Newbies

Arthur Thornton — Sat, 29 Jan 2011 22:13:36 -0000

Sorry for not responding to this sooner, but I can't make anything paid for Xbox :( (MSFT sues people who use XBOX 360 data in that way).

But you can check out Xbox Friends on PreCentral (should be in Preware). It is a pretty good app :)

Re: webOS: Is it really all that awesome?

Arthur Thornton — Sat, 29 Jan 2011 22:10:08 -0000

Not to say Dev Rel isn't great (they are), I was talking more about all of the webOS app developers when compared to app developers on other platforms.

Re: webOS: Is it really all that awesome?

Tim Stiffler-Dean — Sat, 29 Jan 2011 22:04:37 -0000

Also, this is just my reason for liking the community so much. Doesn't have to be the same for everyone. ;)

Re: webOS: Is it really all that awesome?

Tim Stiffler-Dean — Sat, 29 Jan 2011 22:03:56 -0000

lol, not exactly my point, but I suppose that's one way of looking at it. It's not so much that we're awesome because we lack trolls and that we'll know we're more popular when we get more trolls. In the same way, Apple is now extremely popular, but still doesn't have the same volume of viruses and malware that Microsoft has. This doesn't mean that Apple hasn't "made it" yet, just that they had more time to work (efficiently) without all kinds of bugs knocking at the door.

The webOS community has the same advantage right now. We don't have all of the problems that come with having a HUGE community, and so we can build more efficiently and use our time wisely. It's the same thing that Quora did for so long with keeping their service private. Thew fewer the trolls they had at the beginning, the more control they have over the entire experience, and the higher the quality is later down the road.

Taking things slow is not necessarily a bad thing. Makes me wonder if Palm really wants to be #1 just yet, or if they're waiting till the trolls make their home someplace else.

What makes us Awesome is lack of trolls.
The more popular the OS the more trolls appear.
So, we'll know we've made it big when we get a lot of trolls?
Here's hoping for more trolls!

The Relations team is far more involved in the community than any other I have ever encountered (save the guys at Joomla!). But still, I don't think it's quite fair to say they're the 'better' team at everything, just better at being awesome. ;)

Of course, Adora might kick me if I don't correct that statement. So I take it back, the Palm Dev Team is better at everything.
