Hello, and welcome to the first set of responses to the questions we got. We'll be splitting them all up amongst ourselves, so you'll be seeing other LJ staff members posting responses to some of your questions over the course of the next week or two. (I'll also be posting more responses later on in the week, when I get a chance to answer more ( Read more... )

Heh, I got the #3 spot. :D

Cool, thanks for explaining. I like the other questions that were asked too. :)

Second?

Thanks for these, I've been wondering about some of this stuff, too. Although I wish numbers would be fun...

I appreciated reading these questions and answers a lot... I couldn't think of any good questions at the time, but some of these are ones I've thought of and forgotten many times. So thank you for posting this. :)

Re birthday notifications - why did they all have to be processed in one go every night? Midnight isn't the same time round the world. Might there not be a way of doing it for each account based on where the user is, when you have that data (and just spreading the rest out evenly over 24 hours)? i.e. do all the 'GMT+5' accounts at once, all the 'GMT+4' accounts an hour later, and so on, as each timezone approaches midnight. After all, it must have been pretty frustrating for Australians to be told about American friends' birthdays practically the following day!

Yet another reason to use a client. Semagic pops up birthday reminders from your flist at midnight every night. It's great.

Unfortunately it crashes my laptop, which is IMO a pretty good reason not to use it. ;-)

Yep, your reason trumps my reason.

It's interesting to read all of these. Thanks for doing this Q&A by the way, I think it's a neat idea. =D
