Joan Rivers changed the Posterous dashboard

Forget_godaddy

Even people who like GoDaddy's service wince at their ads. The Superbowl is an acute reminder that your patronage may be enabling the worst taste ever.

Posterous, seizing the moment and Twitter sentiment analysis, put a "Forget GoDaddy" footer in the dashboard sometime today, reminding users of their domain registration services.

Sidebar: For those who didn't watch the Superbowl, Joan Rivers is the newly featured Godaddy spokesperson. And as anybody who saw the Joan Rivers documentary that came out last year is doing, I find myself cheering on the development.

Twitter supports username attribution in multi-user group accounts

Godaddy_twitter_fingerprint
I noticed something interesting in a recent @godaddy tweet. In addition to the usual client attribution (via web), the tweet had a linked username attribution (by Salem_P). I'd never seen by attribution in a tweet before.

In any case, it saves group/corporate brands a few characters. (An ad-hoc hack corporate accounts often use is signing tweets with initials like "^SP" inside tweets).

I wonder how long this has been supported by the API. I just don't see it used, even by group clients like CoTweet and Hootsuite.
