This is fantastic! Thank you for taking the time to write this.
I have one: clearInput(), which clears the textarea, is tied directly to the addition of a new status, not to the submission of a new status via that textarea. Any other piece of the app that adds a new status (from other users, from automated systems, whatever) would clear what I'm typing. I can't imagine why you'd do that.
Haha, of course. I guess it was just a moments blackout — I was probably just too focused on making Backbone easily understandable. There might be some strangeness in there, but hopefully most readers have a better understanding of Backbone after reading it. And I don't have time to change it now either way.
Not a question but thanks a lot! I've been writing backbone applications for more than a year and I still learned a couple things thanks to your rundown. Also I'm totally going to use this to teach BB to my next recruits.
