Can we now mock all those who prognosticated poorly in regards to Instagram's success? I see a lot of smug in the previous thread that needs to be called out.

What do you mean by forced intersectionality and unforced intersectionality? Can you expand on this?

Some of this article is spot on. There is a need in the internet age to educate people on how to consume information. When we had fewer news organizations, information was more controlled. It was done by professionals with years of training

Keep it simple. There's no reason to overanalyze the failure. Ask someone why they're not on Google+. There response: "What's Google+?" If they know what it is: "Why would I use Google+? No one is on there. All

This was actually a well thought out idea. He took the time and tried to do some research and analysis. While some of his conclusions were off, this is a great way to learn and think. But publicly humiliating him (which I think is the resul

I shared this with my students. We're learning about typefaces and graphic design right now. Some of these comments picking about a 6th grader are pitiful. We want to encourage these ways of thinking -- not nitpick

I'm surprised by the reaction -- I thought more people would be in support of this. Since I'm from the U.S., I'm curious what the attitude is around the world. Does the layman have a lot of resentment towards the "expert

No you don't need to read 10+ hours of news about the same story unless there's new information and it has an effect on you. I didn't make that point so I'm not sure what you're getting at. There's plenty peopl

I agree we need to consume better news. Instead of clicking on the link-bait headlines, take some time and read that long-form article that took months or years to research. If we tell the media that's what we want, that's what we

Cable news is only a sliver of the news picture. We have yet to come up with a better alternative because we consume & we want it all for free. We cry about journalism yet we don't want to fund any. When good journalism is done, no

This is a rather ignorant stance to take. I know a lot of people don't like the doom & gloom of news. But it's needed. I recently discussed with someone who doesn't consume news about the NSA revelations. They were shocke
