Glyphs with your fingers in the air is exactly magic.

I actually have a scene of almost exactly this in the sci-fi book I'm currently rewriting.

FB, in addition to the moral questionability you mention, has a bad user interface. It always has; it seems totally uninterested in improving it: a punky little window with tiny amounts on tiny text (unless you're writing, like, ten words).

It would be great to see you on DW more!
