• 
  June 01, 2008 at 16:14 Grumpicus thinks Leo is right. Now none of the people _I_ invite can get in. It's all part of his master plan.
•

• 
  June 01, 2008 at 17:03 evan says dvander it'll take a bit to get used to. But it's not horrible by any means, IMO.

• 
  June 01, 2008 at 23:52 tmbrwlf says I think it is the top of the hour or the bottom of the hour depending on what time it was plurked
• 
  June 01, 2008 at 23:54 SgtSpade thinks the timeline is backwards
• 
  June 02, 2008 at 00:03 MarkBancks says I agree, the timeline is backwards.
• 
  June 02, 2008 at 00:04 drale says actually the timeline makes sense. we read left to right, so new is left. like twitter is top to bottom
