In case you haven't heard Graffiti 1.0 was released Monday. You can find more information on Rob Howard's blog , in the press release and at the Graffiti site . I've written about Graffiti a bit here and I think it is an awesome platform. Without making any code changes at all I've been able to implement a blog, an ecommerce site (more info in the form of how-to and examples coming soon) and something new I've been working on the last couple of nights that I'm not ready to share yet. Graffiti is...
Yesterday a colleague wrote, "It's hard to believe you had 27 blog posts in one month a year ago."

Of course I'm a bit biased and my...

It is... well... striking. I really am at a loss for words to describe it. When I first saw it I think I...
You may have read something about "TFF Ratio" by now on Twitter or in our Live Messenger status messages. If you have not been playing along I'll let you in on the joke. TFF Ratio = Twitter Folloer-Friend Ratio. It all started with this post by fellow Telligenti, Dave Donaldson . When I first read it I took it as a personal challenge. I immediately acquired the domain name TFFRatio.com, and setup this parody on the home page , and then added an anonymous comment to Dave's post. It didn't take too...
