What ever happened to app.net? I keep waiting to see it resurface in comments related to Twitter, but it never does. Not a mention of it in any of these comments either. What gives? End of the hype?

This topic actually piqued my interest and sent me on a little wiki-stroll: "Money correlates with happiness, but the rate diminishes with more money. In 2010, Daniel Kahneman and Angus Deaton found that higher earners generally reported be

If I remember correctly though - there is a "happiness-threshold" of income, below which life-satisfaction and income are positively correlated. I think that number for most of the US was around $70k or something. So below that number, inco

Would love to see a screenshot (or picture?) of that!

I actually just did the reverse, clicking on the link wondering what political context this was going to be in. Relieved to realize my mistake.

I like how the term "hacker" is finally starting to be recognized in the mainstream press for a definition other than the criminal one: "Hackers — the Mark Zuckerberg variety, not the identity thieves — have long crammed into odd or tiny sp

Hey Andres - really dug the graphic. As far as the value of Draw Something, I think it's important to note the difference between cost of production and the value of the app. Namely, cost of production /= value. Social graph, brand, talent,

The other answers aren't wrong, but I think listening to 37Signals Partner DHH from Startup School would speak best: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CDXJ6bMkMY Almost more than their products, they're known for their very vocal broadcasti

by AVTizzle 14y ago
Very true in my experience. And as recently as 4-5 months ago, I was listening. Really not far from "brainwashing" as DHH called it. The 37Signals message is a very, very welcome and refreshing signal amongst the noise of investments, valua

It's a great point, and was actually a pretty intuitive connection in my experience. I started in Sales at Yelp, and when I launched my startup, I recognized that the interviewing and customer development process I was putting potential use

>> the Steve Jobs shaped hole Hahahaha. That's a funny thought. But now that you mention it, yes. Though maybe with a slightly less endeared/worshipping sentiment.

>>"Advertising's not in a bubble..." Nothing in your essay has anything to do with advertising not being a bubble. Sure, it depends on your definition of "bubble," but in the sense that I imagine most people understand it (over-hype

There's a pending IPO that disagrees with you in no small way.

This is absolutely delightful. Interacting with this graphic practically tickled.

That particular element stuck out to me too when I was browsing Curtis' blog a week or two ago. Was it actually controversial?

Indeed. Would be great with L/R arrow keys.

codrops... This site is very legit. Thanks for sharing. edit Funnily enough, a question about how "legit" this site actually is... Stumbled across one of their demos that was pretty sweet IMO, "Multi-level Photo Map" http://tympanus.net/

Wow - I thought I'd heard about this deal from every angle over the last few weeks since the deal, but for some reason I hadn't heard or considered your point about the AH connection. Really interesting point.

Hey guys - cool idea. I tried entering my email, and there's no success indicator. Click the button, and nothing. Not sure if I just signed up 10 times, or failed to sign up at all :/

This matters. The whole reason things like Google and Yelp search work for users is because their natural results are uncorrupted by commercial incentives. Advertisers can pay to have their sponsored listings displayed above the natural l

This is actually an example of content consumption from the iPad. As a singer, you're creating music. But you're pulling information from the tablet - not creating content on it. This example actually supports the idea of tablets being op
