When Scoble noted how Facebook under major revolt , I immediately thought of a site I found yesterday. The value offered by Facebook's feeds however do seem very cool - if only they had been smart and made them opt-in, instead of opt-out. I have been impressed though with Facebook's opening of their API's - they certainly get it that they need to open it up to developers. I haven't really explored this other site, beyond my first look. In some ways, I think the whole social networking site thing is just silly , but this site (imeem) definitely showed some value. I could find music (as posted by the artist), it worked in Firefox and it allowed people to rank, add to delicious and more. And when I'm looking at someone, I can see what they're up to (or rather what they allow us to see). Anyways, you may want to check it out.

As you know, I'm also a great fan of Alex's CommandBars product. I hope we (you and I and the VFP community) can convince Alex to keep evolving the CommandBars product. For instance, in addition to RibbonBar support, it would be great to see Alex's product handle OneNote style tab controls. (The look and feel are so similar that one would think the extra development effort would be minimal?)
If not, it would be nice to DevComponents offer a VFP compatible version (ActiveX/COM) of their upcoming RibbonControl component.
