With social networking, one of the more important things is how users connect. It might be the defining feature of a social network. And usually, from the user's perspective, it's pretty simple. Usually. But what happens under the shiny surface of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript?

Have you heard of Dreamhost? It's a company offering inexpensive web hosting options. A lot of organizations use Dreamhost to host their websites and provide email services, among other things. This website, too, is hosted by them. Unfortunately, their service record is far from good, but they've usually kept everyone up to date whenever there were problems.

Guess what? They aren't doing that right now, and customers are angry. And they're talking.

At long last, I'm announcing my social media project, Taskerrific. I decided that things have progressed to the point where I'm better served letting everyone know about it (and have you ensure I get it complete) rather than keep it secret and allow it to be easily cancelled.

Sorry to everyone who expected a new post here either on Monday or today. I was away for the weekend, and didn't return home until this afternoon. Regular posting (or lack thereof :) will resume on Wednesday.

I'm referring to the social media project I've been working on for the past while. Over the past few weeks, I've only been working in fits and spurts. But yesterday saw the first day of some serious, hardcore development work on the project, as well as making the final choice on name. And this morning, I was struck by inspiration for the logo for the site.

It feels damn good to finally be making progress.
