Does my Swurl live according to a different calendar? Apparently, the day after Friday, August 22, 2008, is Sunday, August 24, 2008, though everywhere else it is August 23, 2008. I moved my delicious bookmarks to my new account and thus had to change the settings in my aggregators. That’s when I stumbled upon the Swurl date curiosity.
See for yourself:

Update: It get’s even weirder and there does not seem to be a plausible explanation.
Swurl's "Today"
Profile pages of social networking services can be a mineful of fascinating categories as we have already seen with YouTube. The services want to add a personal touch and not just provide the standard questionnaire to fill in. As I signed up for my flickr account today, I took a look at the profile page and smiled when I saw the category “Singleness”.
It’s a nice change to the regular “marital status” category found on official documents. Does this category also suggest that singleness becomes more dominant? And what does “Open” mean? Open for a relationship? Open for an affair? If it implies the first one, open for a relationship, does “Single” imply “I don’t want to date and I am happy that I am alone and want to stay alone”?
