Phill's next project? I've got some clues...
Well, his twitter feed has had some interesting stuff lately. Here are some from the past couple days:
"minor MacHeist work"... Could this be MH2?
"checking over groupthink's first design mockup"
"project groupthink is starting to look really sweet "
"can't think of many things more enjoyable than watching a design bloom in the hands of a good designer"
"project hiatus"
He's obviously been busy... what do you guys think he's working on? What's this so-called "groupthink"? Discuss and/or post other clues here.

Hmm, interesting. The last one doesn't exist, but the previous two do... groupthink.com says "no public information" is available, and links to http://demo.groupthink.com/ .... Odd. Someone wanna see if Phill and the gang owns those domains?

Phill mentioned the the groupthink thing had nothing to do with MH.

I thought I saw him say somewhere "groupthink" was just a code name. As far as I know, iLikeOlives will be the next project from John, Austin, Ollie, and Sophie from Sophiestication. Probably not as big as MH or MDA (notice it says "ulitmate side project). IMO, Phill's project is not related as he said it wasn't specific to the Mac.

I believe he said not to worry about the groupthink thing, and that it was a web thing not a Mac thing.
He did recently do some minor MH stuff - arranged the promised reward for those MH bundler purchasers who had Paypal issues at the beginning of the bundle sale. So that might be all he referred to there - or the hinted at "diversions" to keep us busy until MH2?
Whistle while you work. Patience is key.

Heh. Yeah, Groupthink's a codename, and maybe there's enough in the name to possibly guess what the project is. (The name's tongue in cheek.) So why ruin the fun? 
Yeah, it's not Mac related, but the demographic of this project being pretty large (any HS/college student could use it hypothetically, and honestly there's a lot of other uses for it as well), there's a good chance you might be interested. If so, send a PRIVATE message to my twitter account (link in my sig) with "macheist" and your email address/name, and I'll try to include you guys in the first wave of private beta invites. (And oh yeah, friend me, because as some of you have noticed, there's some interesting tidbits every once in a while )
Something tells me these spots might be hard to snag, but you guys definitely have first dibs.

Not sure what's up with twitter... does anyone know if I'm doing something wrong on my end?
Good things take time regarding resex btw. If you want a taste of what's to come, check out MacThemes which we recently reopened.

They have to have accepted you as a friend and be following you in order to send a message. If they are you can go to there twitter page (http://twitter.com/definetheline for example) and click the "message" button under the "Actions" menu.
Or you could just click the "Direct Messages" button from http://twitter.com/home and then choose the person's name from the drop-down list.

The only problem is the totality of your 2176 posts are crap
Besides, I'm more senior than you at moderating, not to mention you owe your moderation-ship to me.
@Phill... teasers, teasers...

Not sure. But thanks Phill!

Humm, well, our current launch plans are for early to mid summer, so it shoudn't be too long of a wait. And I have so many tidbits to dangle here.

Hey Phill... you can pop me one at:
Thanks for the cryptic teasers. Wait... actually, no thanks, I'd rather know exactly what it is!
You are awesome. Keep up all the amazing work.
EDIT: thanks to apcs11, I changed my email according to his post on spam...
May 11, 2007 3:55 am
It looks like a tiny yellow submarine that travels through blackness. The 5/15 is a progress bar to track the submarine through a level, and Phill is on level twelve.
Obviously.
Also... there is a forum?
1. Yellow Submarine
2. Forum
3. ???
4. Profit!
