Can you please add these back into 2.0?
There was some nice ideas for 2.0, but I heard that they were canceled.
1: sharing Scratch projects on mobile phones, tablets, and other new platforms
2: integrating Scratch with social media, so that young people can program projects to dynamically pull content from and push updates to Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, and other Web 2.0 sites
3: providing infrastructure for groups of young people to collaborate on projects (including version control and collaborative annotations
Can you please add those back to your creation list, Scratch Team?

1. Well, mobile phones either don't support flash, which will take a lot of work to provide a converter/mobile player, or they already support flash, in which you'll be able to play programs.
2. The ST can't control what goes onto social media sites, so projects could take inappropriate material from those sites...
3. The ST wanted to do this, but they realized its easily possible for people to make a collab where the gossip/talk about others in a bad way, without any outsiders from seeing/flagging inappropriate things.
Remember, the scratch team denied these for a reason, just ask why

That was in 2010. Things have changed.

1) Who said it was canceled?
2) I haven't seen any hint of this. Well, they actually are trying out getting data from Google Maps, so, who knows?
3) Almost a year ago there were a couple discussions about this, but they rather fizzled out. Even if they hadn't, we were told it wouldn't make the initial release.
