Thanks for the post. Beta 4 is out.... Universal binary support for Intel Macs. I don't think we met but I do believe you were on IRC at the Gnomedex conference. We were there as guests of Chris Pirillo because we architected the new tagjag.com site (in development) I like you Civil Agency idea. Any possibility we could chat about the future of that and how another company can get involved?
