Is the lack of nicknames intentional? Sure, for a private diary I don't need to see "xxCuteHoneyPiexx" in the browser, but one might prefer to "blug" as that instead of "Deborah.Jingleheimer".

#12Are metal umlauts the new left out vowels for Web 2.x? Will we see "flickr" renamed to "flïckër"?
Well, it's not really an 'ü', we are officially 'Duuble', not 'Düüble'. The dots above the 'u's are meant to complete the smiling faces :)
Well, I'm German. We do umlauts, we don't do smiles…
;)

Yeah, we did not really include nicknames, just first and last name. You could change your first and last name under Settings to your preferred name. If enough users want an additional option of a nickname, we could add that in the future

Considering the current Google+ brouhaha and the target demographics, I'd recommend something like that.
Also, having a bookmarklet for a pop up version of the "Just Post" page might be quite neat.

#18A communications scholar at Cornell named Lee Humphreys has a paper under review that compares Twitter to 18th century diaries. Apparently, it was common practice for people (mostly women) to keep short accounts of daily life in their journals. Every six months, they swapped the diaries with their friends and family. The Twitter of the 18th century. Old is new again.
A friend of mine found once such book from 1932. It's pretty amazing and she has fittingly been posting some of it on Tumblr: http://someoldbooks.tumblr.com/tagged/diary
A lot of walking down the street!

#19Sorry for being negative. I would say its bad design.
Why does a daily dairy site has to be like twitter? Yours is a original concept. Pour some thoughts into it and come up with original design. :)
