Text boxes and notifications
When posting replies or using the 'share a thought' box, it's pretty tough to see what I'm doing if there's a picture added to the mix.
It'd be great if they had that little dingus in the lower right (like this box I'm typing into now) that would allow me to expand the window and see everything inside. I know some interfaces don't really allow for that, and would probably require a pop-out compose window or something.
The other option would be scaling the pictures to fit within the existing size of the post window. Since I still have control over the image size by re-opening the image upload properties, I don't necessarily need to see it 1:1 in the text box.
Also, as much as I love getting email, I'd totally love a unified notifications box inside this wonderful interface.
And since this is a B2W forum, someone is going to say Markdown support.
Thanks. This is seriously a blast.

Thanks Dan. I agree with all of this - we're doing a UI normalization (hopefully) early next year.
I can definitely add the scaling in microblog post-box with some quick CSS.
Notifications - we definitely agree. We're working on this for a release next year. We want to get the notification system right, as we're adding features like chat, conferencing and tasks next year.
Markdown, I will ask the dev team. I would love it.
I'm glad you're having fun here.
