This is comedy, of course they exaggerate things so you can't take it literally. But they are spot on looking weird and talking to 'yourself.' This is a great niche product, IMO, other than that it will suffer an embarrassing death. Most pe

Let's go back to step one: Google's revenue is rising by what % a year? Google's user base or searches are increasing by what % a year? Is there a difference and what makes that difference? Google's recent stock growth and revenue also matc

My guess is that Path people sat down and decided that nothing good was happening so 2013 was going to be it, either grow and get acquired or shut it down (no Foursquare scenario). To grow they chose spam and fishy growth numbers in countri

It's amazing how many people ware willing to let Google (or anyone for that matter) see and keep their most private information for ever. Your online searches and emails can truly show what's on your mind, there's no way I am going to let a

A lot can be attributed to more ads on pages, true. But do people go there to see a page full of ads or "most relevant" and "unbiased results"? How many know ads from content? But growth in places where Google makes its real money (US, EU,

dear Googler, you made me waste a bit of time: trying to do that by using tweets isn't accurate for obvious reasons. Power user vs normal user, motivation to tweet, bias against Microsoft etc. The other post was confusing as hell, I couldn'

I agree. I really dislike the fact that copyrights can be "transferred" to another person or entity. But you agree (I assume) that people should have copyrights over their books or music. So, I wrote this wonderful song but now I need upf

Theory: Not eBay, eBay but maybe the affiliate managers encouraged it. Maybe they get cut based on affiliate sales so it was in their best personal interest to have as many aff sales. Downsides are plenty but only if discovered and if top

It's not like they're a climber helping cast. So why do they carry bags and act as "helping cast" for what you say are low wages? Is someone forcing them?

They can afford to be unethical (assuming they are) thanks to their popularity. So any clone would also have to clone Craigslist's ability to attract posters. Otherwise the site is useless, no matter how ethical or better designed it was.

The impact is also smaller, FB has 1 billion or so accounts and Google probably has about the same. Plus, they can track every move you make across the web, things you like, searches you make, what type of content you email, share etc. If P
