We at TUAW HQ definitely have an obsession with Twitter. We use Twitterrific for the Mac, and Hahlo for iPhone. Hahlo provides great features in a beautiful, usable user interface. A couple weeks ago we got a sneak peek at the beta of Hahlo 3 (titled “the Legendary Edition”), but now you can try it out for yourself. That’s because Hahlo 3 was released to the public this day. In addition to a absolutely revamped UI, the new version integrates full searching capabilities via Summize.

To try out Hahlo 3 for yourself, just point Mobile Safari over to http://hahlo.com. It’s free and simple to use. If you don’t have an iPod touch or iPhone, you can get to Hahlo from any standards-compliant modern browser (Safari 3, Firefox, etc.).

Ever wonder why Brazil and other BRIC countries are so hot on open source, including Linux? Gustavo Duarte gives several reasons, not the least of which is the punitive pricing that Microsoft inflicts on these developing markets.

In the case of Brazil, Microsoft pillages businesses to the tune of 20.1 percent and consumers at a 7.8 percent clip. Some people pay tithing to their church; Brazilians are asked to pay a tithe to Microsoft. Perhaps this is indicative of Microsoft’s self-important belief?

Sounds, bad, right? Well, it’s particularly pernicious when you consider how this compares to Microsoft’s pricing in other markets:

Snowbird with 12 inches of new powder in the morning (Bryce Roberts of O’Reilly Alpha Tech Ventures and Fabrizio Capobianco of Funambol joined me for a half-day of wicked snow). Pie in the afternoon while doing the weekly Alfresco team reviews. Maybe a tiny biking in the evening?

You don’t live here…why? I mean, the software sells itself, right? :-)

Pierre advocates that dual-licensing hurts community. Jonathan Schwartz boasts that Java has the world’s largest community. MySQL and Sun retreat (a little) from plans to offer shut extensions to the MySQL database because the community gods get angry.

What, exactly, is this “community?” Who gave it so much power? And why do we care about it?

As we’ll be discussing on Monday at Sun’s Community One conference (note the name?), companies are judged as good or bad based on the strength of their communities. But what is a company’s community? In one breath we assume community relates to the number of outside developers that contribute to a project. In the other breath (as Schwartz does in the link above) we recommend that community is all about the gross number of users of a project.

Which is it? Does it matter?
