Not yet! Xurch is still in private beta, and we are refining the interaction of the cloud before we launch (which will be very soon!) At that time, we're planning to have a screencast with some overview material. If you have specific questions before that, we'd be happy to answer them.

Hi Mike.

The cloud should only be invoked when you roll directly over the search box, and should not interfere with options that reside below the box. We are in the process of refining our next release, and we'll test specifically for that interaction.

I'll post here when that next code version is available (should be in the next two weeks or so). Thanks for mentioning it.

Perhaps there's a more positive way to express "neurotic"?

"Neurotic" seems a little harsh, especially in comparison to the other attributes, which are primarily expressed as positive traits. You could reverse the whole category and call it something like "Ability to handle stress" and have the people who previously scored high on "Neurotic" score low on "Stress Capacity"...

judith marked one of ezrakilty's replies in Sprinkles Test Company as useful. ezrakilty replied to the question "offer me tequila".

judith asked a question in Twitter on February 18, 2008 18:57:

some sort of middle ground between going private and not wanting to be followed by strangers?

My twitters are currently public and I'm fine with that (I find the "this user is private" experience a little off-putting, but that's a separate issue) but I'd love to be able to go in and bulk-delete the twitter-collector people from following me rather than having to go in and block them one at a time. Any thoughts on that?

ah. that makes sense. ideally there would be some sort of feedback mechanism that explains this, as those seem like fairly common words that someone might try to use.

I learned the hard way that you can't start a Twitter with the word "help"...

...as in "help! trapped in house with dog! send... um... movies and diet coke!"

It seems like there could be specialized syntax for Twitter-specific help like "t-help" or "twitterhelp" to address this. Additionally, there is no feedback mechanism on the web interface that lets you know this is not allowed, so I tried a bunch of times and then filed (ironically!) a help request. I figured it out when I went to post via SMS and got an autoresponse and realized "aha! that must be it!"
