Today marks the culmination of 2 months of work on the newest, and potentially most complex channel launched by litl to date: Facebook Status. I know what your thinking, “We already know about / use Facebook. How is this different?” Remember last time when I mentioned that there are *3* viewing modes to the litl [...]
