- arithmetic 17y agoI love the fact that the feature (of faxing photos) actually works. Telling sign of true geeks.
- rhodin 17y agoYeah quite cool, hope they'll roll out this feature for all of us!
- jacquesm 17y agoThe Facebook/TechCrunch litmus test of feature design: - come up with crazy ass feature - implement in the minimal possible way - enable feature for techcrunch network only - see if they write about it - check comments on techcrunch - response bad -> yank feature, nobody the wiser, response positive -> implement feature by pulling an all nighter.
- jacquesm 17y agoAnd everybody else. I figure that pulling a TechCrunch will go down in to history as 'getting an online publication to write something terribly wrong to teach them a lesson about journalism and fact checking'. Let's see how long it takes before someone else pulls a stunt like this on TC. Hair trigger journalism.
