That's how many people I have on my Trillian contact list. There are definatly a hell of a lot people with more contacts than me - but it just cracks me up whenever I see a screenshot of an IM product that has only a handfull of contacts that are nicely laid out.
I wonder if there is a "picture" based contact list plugin out there? Nested groups are one thing, but when you have nestings 3 or more deep, it gets extremly cluttered .
I envision a visio like office layout where you can place contacts - in such away you could mimic their geographic positions to each other.
For instance, around here there are a lot of people in various locations and or buildings. I would be estatic if I could draw a crude line map of the buildings and the cubical farms and place my contacts on the map.

Sure - it would take a bit more screen real estare than a simple list, but I'm a "tactile/kinesthetic" learner that's better at maps than lists. And besides - I'm certain that most of us can remember seeing at least one movie where they had a lame 3d wireframe of a building and little red dots to indicate employees/intruders. If hollywood says is it exists it must exist eventually - right?

In other news, I'm testing out the MT Textile2 v2.0.2 plugin for MovableType. It's based upon Textile, A Humane Web Text Generator . I would strongly suggest clicking on the "Text to HTML" button down the page to play with it. I don't know how similar it is to the text formating on Wikipedia, but it rocks!

The one thing that I definatly approve of is the formatting of links...
"PlasticBanana.com":http://www.plasticbanana.com
becomes PlasticBanana.com instead of having to type out <a href="http://plasticbanana.com">PlasticBanana.com</a>

It makes editing posts in MT's little window a heck of a lot cleaner
