Facebook’s new lists feature now allows users to build groups of their friends and message them all at once. This is a very cool thing, but there’s just one tiny problem: Facebook’s messaging management system sucks. There’s no way to filter messages, no way to flag them, no way to export them to “real” e-mail.
Imagine receiving a bunch of mass mailings and not being able to do anything with them except read them, delete them or mark them as unread.
Facebook needs to improve message management if it wants large-scale mass messaging going on.

It’s still a great feature–especially for events. This “friend lists” feature makes it very easy to send a party or dinner invite to the right people. I used to skip people all the time or invite the wrong “Sara” or “Geoffrey” by mistake. They’ll surely roll out new messaging features soon… just maybe not soon enough?

As we reported earlier, Disqus released its new version today with support for local comment storage and a range of other features. Part of the upgrade was a brand new WordPress API plugin, the non javascript plugin that allows comments to be seen by search engines on the local site, and the main reason I started using Disqus back in May.

Disqus is the revolution of commenting in web 2.0. A definite move up from the standard blog comment system, and one that is going to be around for a long time hopefully.

Shepard Fairey, the “street artist” who shot to fame last year after creating the iconic Obama Hope posters, has been arrested in Boston on graffiti charges… READ—>
It’s like arresting Warhol at this point. Can’t see him minding much
