I agree about you “contact over content” comment, especially with new publishers.

Over the last 6 months I’ve perceived a large decrease in social media’s precious “conversations” and much more link promotion and one liners.

Cheers.

I can’t sign up using FF3, keeps saying that my email isn’t valid. Signing up using the exact same info does work in IE7.

After that, I can log in using IE, but can’t log in using FF. At the top it says I’m logged in but in the main frame, it says “Your login does not seem to be correct. Try again.”

Brian,

Love what you have started.

It is important to be able to quantify potential connection so you can best get the most out of twitter.

I might suggest it would be great if one could customize their ranking threshold as I can see different users having different tolerances and needs.

I look forward to watching this tool evolve.
