It was all thx to BarCampSydney which started me off.. before that I heard about Tangler but wasn't fully sure/interested. Meeting Mick at BarCampSydney and then talking to him helped a good deal

saw a blog post about it, I asked what it was and got sent an invite to the beta

Thank you to 'Phantom' for that 

(btw sorry if this has already been asked)

cool SK

interesting - it'll be cool to read more of the stories about it

how about you aman?

Chain reaction - Marty mentioned the idea once upon a time - goes ahead with his idea. Dek signed up and then put a gun to my head to sign up!!!

haha.. thought as much..

aman you work for tangler too? 

now that was odd... just now it said this topic had -1 (minus one) new messages

note to self: don't click the link in recent activity that hasn't properly updated then click on a topic whilst the page is preparing to reload 

hehehe

SK, you are right.. i saw that too.. i just took a screendump to post to Tangler

I had already reflexively clicked on it

nah mate - i dun work for Tangler.

I just know two people who do. 

yea, same here.. but the good old' back-button helped.. just when back in history and took a SD

ahh, clever

@aman, cool..

ya - i saw the same thing - will try back button next time 

@SK, as i said my brains on high at nights

hehehe

well, actually, you guys can try it now.. it should still be there.. except, you might have to try a few times

I guess I'll be waiting 12 hours before I post that riddle...

and using the back/forward arrows always seems to make things go screwy with Tangler - normally loads the group but then I have to click the discuss tab to make the topics come up

it did it again

this time I got a screenshot  

huh? really? I'm gonna try it now

show us the screen shot - i use firefox and back buttons dun seem to do anything actually

you just gotta keep clicking.. it'll work

keeps happening - it just did it to me again

maybe a product of being in the topic, and then clicking on the recent activity menu

hey!! why is my msg repeating???

I'v only encountered the Crickey message one time 

that myst be the phantom message effect that I've heard so much about but never seen (nothing odd-looking here for me)

Gosh, I don't even remember now, but CHris sent me an invte

well, hello @stylobille

...the heck?

Now its saying -1 messages even when there's nothing new inside 

i know. i've updated the the topic in tangler feedback. Just gotta wait till somebody posts something

Whoa... I saw it too

I think I saw an article about it on Techcrunch or one of the other tech blogs. I thought "hey, that looks cool!" and signed up for the beta. I then proceded to forget all about Tangler until one day I got an invite in my old mail. I had to send it to my new mail account because I'm trying to phase the old one out.

I didn't remember what it was at first, had to go back and look up where I even found out about it to remember even signing up. 

hahahahaa

Thanks for the effort 5th Wall! 

"What the heck? Who's inviting me to sign up for things? Did I sign up for this? ... [google search].. Oh wait, I did sign up for that."

hahahahaha

hehe

test test

I invite you all to sign up to UselessAccount.

spam by any other name?

What's that shib?

In the age of throw away accounts, UselessAccount is the ultimate in pointless, forgetable profiles.

just as a rose by any other name... so it is with less fragrant items

HAHA

It's a joke. But you'd be surprised at how many people don't notice.

Love the review!

'Slightly 'more' useful than Twitter'

heheheh 

I found it on Delicious

Mick told me about it and now I work P/T for Tangler although it never feels like 'work'.

Kasta - you work for Tangler too. So you guys are Tanglerites proper.

What does that make us non-Tangler employess that tangle?

Mmm. I don't know. Without you guys we would not have anyone to talk to and it would be pretty dull.

I spend about an hour a day on Tangler five days a week. 

Kasta is p/t Tangler because she has particular knowledge of how black holes impact European stock markets.

She just hasn't gotten past seeded mustard to talk about it........... 

Ha ha!

hheheheheh

whole grain mustard rocks!! 

Bestest topic (and possible longest) ever.

I stumbled here if I'm not wrong.

That's why I love stumble upon - it takes me to dosens of cool plases

Welcome to Tangler! 

You mean you literally stumbled upon it, or did you Stumble! upon it?

StumbleUpon.com it

Cool!!

I got here from a collection of Web 2.0 Logos on Flickr

That is one possibility I'd never have considered! 

did techcrunch do a recent article on it? 

uuummmm..... I don't think so.... then again, I have goldfish memory

I think it's really cool.  Been playing with it all day (as you can see from my posts).  Going to post it on my various myspace pages and see if I can drum up some music fans to the site. 

how long has Tangler been up?

That's great! Thanks celticagent.

Tangler's been in private beta for abt a year I think. Been in public beta for a month or so 

I heard about it from Delicious

I heard about it from Lynn (lwallenstein) over Twitter.  You see, all you doubters, Twitter does have its uses! 

I first heard about it from a comment by Stephen Collins on a blog entry about pibb.

dek is the culprit who got me in here. we figured that our emails to each other were getting too long and messy and untrackable esp when we need dire information abt who's undie was flashed to the paparazzi 3 weeks ago etc...and then she had a brainwave. and the next thing you know, i got roped into tangler.

Yes yes, it's all my fault....

Tell me it wasn't life changing for ya!

hehehehe 

(btw, I don't recall ever talking abt what you mentioned!)

it was an analogy....we had other important topics that was getting messy...

Same as Hector here, Center Networks was my source.

yes life changing it was.....although i have to admit that i had been very out of touch with tangler for the past one month....i shall have to try to make up for it soon

Terrible Swinger..... *shaking head*

 Hector and Matt - Welcome to the Tangle!!

dekrazee1 - Thanks! Glad to be here. I think I shall be around for quite a while - really enjoying it! (Allen @ CenterNetworks is a good friend, in fact!)

I read a Digg article about pibb.com, and started looking into other real time chat services.  Tangler seems to be where it's at! 

Woo hoo!!

Hiya Meekrok! 

I was checking out Clustr and was looking at Zeniths list of sites and here I am.  Very cool site indeed!

Thanks!

I heard about it from an MSDN blog. So far I like it, but kind of slow sometimes

Nice to meet you incendy!

Speed is one thing constantly being worked on 

One of my RSS feeds I believe...

I was checking out Clustr and was looking at Zeniths list of sites and here I am.  Very cool site indeed!

Aw shux. Thanks.

@dekrazee1: Nice to meet you too! Glad to hear the speed is being worked on!! It is painful right now, but I do love the features!!

Yesh.... we shall not let the lack of speed get in our way shall we?

I've been thinking about this all day and I have no idea how I got here!

I think Dek spiked my drink...

SHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhh

Not so loud.....

Plus I only spike the drinks of people who didn't sign up when I told them to 

Digg had a compilation article of web 2.0 startups.

Heard about it on Digg. 

Hiya ninewhereman!

Nice to meet ya'.

Saw it on digg, looked kinda neat.

It is! (if I say so myself)

Hiya Leito! 

Hey there.

LifeHacker. I read about it there.

 *waves* 

Web Worker Daily did a post on it yesterday

Just found it via delicious.

hello everyone!!

*waves madly* 

Delicious? Nice. The Tangle is tangling....

del.icio.us 

Like Glenn, I saw it on the WebWorkerDaily site. Looks really interesting.

Good to see Tangler getting so much exposure. 

Hi. New user here. 

I've discovered Tangler thanks to WebWorkerDaily. I'm subscibed to their feed.

http://webworkerdaily.com/2007/05/21/tangler-a-better-forum/

I found tangler last night thanks to springnet's twitter about it

Wanted to say: Tangler went on Delicious again today! Nice!

Ive been researching chat/forum hybrids, very familiar with Pibb from JanRain, looking into Tangler...

Welcome to All!

hi

peterchane sent me.  now i'm confused.

KFox... that wouldn't be Kevin Fox of JanRain by any chance? Yes, I thought so.

a web 2.0 directory not to sure of the url though....

Thanks Hawk.

I love the Peterchane sent me. But dont be confused. Click 'search' at the top and find something you're interested in. It's like a whole collection of forums.

oh that sounds good - just getting a feel of it though

No problems. Look around. Tangler is pretty new and we have lots of things we want to add to it.

cant wait to check the additions out too...

I was directed to Tangler by a friend on StumbleUpon

So far, I am digging what I see.. both the people and the content

Great to hear Gracey! Welcome... 

Bumped into marty in the lift after a run.... still curios why he wanted use the shower that i was going to use - oh may be coz there was only one of them...   nope it still doesnt make sense

I read a blog article about it . . found the blog article through Me.dium

Coool....

What's medium? 

Medium is an amazing firefox/Flock browser extension.   I've only been using it a day, and I'm ready to marry. LOL.

It's a bit of a learning curve, but viewing their help page makes everything better. Here's the link to an invite . . and it'll add you as my friend.  Check it out, it's definitely worth a peek.

On another note, it's up for voting in the web 100 (in the same category as Tangler) . . . I'm sad I could only vote for one. 

Thanks!

I will most definately look at it.... in an hour 

Excellent.  I look forward to seeing you on. (and anyone else for that matter)

yup! for sure

Make that an hour and a half

Cool.  See ya then.  (Unless my friends call)

hahahaha

I'm in.... and I'm lost

I've left my thoughts in the Me.Dium Feedback Group

I had an invitation once to Me.Dium... but then I found out you had to download it... and it seemed kinda strange... like I don't know if I want people knowing where I am and chating at me while I'm there. I dunno. *shrugs*

So, ya'll like it alot?

Hmmmmmmm.

*ponders whether to try it or not*

(I really don't need another addictive forum/site/social network! I'm a full time Mom with a full time job!!)

*rolls eyes* 

You can turn it off when you don't wanna be bothered.  It's as simple as closing the sidebar.  AND . . when you're strolling through the net, it's fun to see what others are doing.

deadline - TAAA DAAAA!!!!!!!

Just saw a screenshot from a flickr friend and joined up

That's unique

invite from Mick

I was invited by The Crazy One

I subscribe to the TechCrunch RSS feed.  Now, personally, there usually isn't much that is radically compelling that has been posted in recent time, tidbits here and there that have promise.... but overall, I thought Tangler (after viewing the video) was a splendid idea and had to come over and sign up.

I found it on 'business2.0' blog today. There is an article about interesting new startups from all over the world. I checked on-by-one and end up here. Nice job, guys! Greeting from Thailand

Aha. Yes, saw it on Money.com I believe.

I found it on http://www.webware.com/  

I found it on Read/Write Web.

My wife

Is your wife on Tangler too jnjosh?

I think so... somewhere... she showed me the video on the homepage.... after the tears of "why didn't i think of that" passed, i signed up...

It's nice to have wife on Tangler. But I wish I get a wife from Tangler!

lol, i just found out she is not on here yet... she passed it to me and I still signed up first ...

zryxy: start a new group, see what happens.

deadline : hahahaha. good idea

zryxy & deadline: you could call it Tangled

do you call that synergy? I'm married so Tangled would be a BAD BAD idea for me. But zryxy go ahead. BTW what the hell time is it in OZ? You guys are crazy active when I'm packing it in and then its dead all day at work. is it a 12 hour difference from the states?

Deadline: what part of states and what part of Australia?  I'f 've done the calcualtion in my head correctly they(at least those in Sydney)  are 9 hours behind but 1 day forward to you in Chicago!

I"m in Chicago and wherever Tangler is located in Australia. that is where it's based right?

So 11:30pm Chicago Thursday night = 2:30 pm Friday afternoon in Sydney

Yes they are based in ULtimo (read Sydney) I believe. ... getting late in Chicago.... I'm on west coast of Canada so a couple hours back of you.

Gotcha, that explains all the talking going on. Work week is pretty much kaput there.

Pretty close to bar time !

yes I'm out for the night. So tomorrow when I'm at work at least I'll have Canadians to talk to!

There are a few of us here... but we are under-represented.... Their are quite a few regulars from the central and east of the US though.

Here's some other people from Chicago

whhoops should have checked first... see you've been there already!

Deadline: you've got a bad link in your blog... on your topic on The New Logan Square Forum you point to a cars site rather than your Tangler group  . viz:

"You can check it out here." (the Group Avatar link works as advertised though)

dekrazee1

Thanks Bricoleur, the link is now fixed.

I saw it featured on AppsMania.

Nice!
