I'm wondering about their seemingly dumb approach. In my opinion it would be better to charge on per click basis for the links in the tweets. Say if want your links to be clickable you route them through a specific shortener and then Twitte

Many startups just go straight into the dead pool by running out of cash and don't pivot either due to inability or to the lack of opportunity

I even start 2-3 copies of the IDE sometimes when doing work on several projects. EDIT: wanted to ADD and didn't notice I was replying to myself

Why can't you remove all unnecessary components from the IDE? For me VS 2008 with Resharper makes no problems at all on my 4GB Ram desktop with loads of other crap running in parallel.

I'm just wondering if your having same level of scalability concerns, 900 tweets per second and real-time API? More, their problems were mostly rails (Mongrel) related, should go away with app server being now Unicorn.

I don't see how Google Search and Gmail (the 2 core products) are playful. The search is also non-personal, non-programmable, non-restful and to most people it's just the search that works. Gmail is non-clean.

I think happinies isn't "a dream", its a state of mind. You can either be happy or not, you can't plan for that or even understand the required elements of it.

I think Fred has become too focused on the specifics of his recent companies. Is Google programmable? Is Gmail a media and also programmable? Is Amazon playful? That applies even more to the myriad of smaller companies which are successful

Seems like the last thing they need is to really answer all kinds of questions. Otherwise I just might get an answer somewhere on a good old forum.

Also, Dropbox users can easily create several accounts (I have) for various purposes. Seems unreasonable for the Mint users.

Isn't it already established that Cassandra unlike many other NoSql solutions from the start was developed to the requirements of the biggest social websites and if you are not one of them then you may be better off using a less complicated

It's pretty much how it happens in the real world. Remember how facebook started with the connectu code base?

This trend is for real, I know people who preferred Windows Mobile to iphone recently.

Why not notify people through Twitter? From Twitter I can get alerts to a regular mobile, not to mention to a Twitter client.

Mybe your right. To me intelligence is how one processes information, definitely not how she cracks on problems (this is "smartness"). True intelligence in my view is when one pays attention to what the world tells her and reacts accordingl

Ins and outs Opera is a very good browser, mine favorite. I think they just have that bad karma, possibly stuck to them from the ealy days when they used to display ads on the toolbar.

Intelligence is hardly a knife. One can put a knife aside and try training without it to better improve the "other" skills, same is not true for intelligence. And also, isn't true intelligent people are more inclined to self-improving? I th

Looks like they've got a strong group of mentors. Also David Cohen from TechStars is there. Seems like a real opportunity for startups.

"Your technology brains got you this far; use some of them to make yourself stop, breathe and think." Great point. If only I could do it back then.

I use Opera for most of the browsing, it consumes less memory and generally more manageable than anything else I used before (IE 4+, FF 1+, Chrome 1+)

That definitely is a difficult position for Google to be in, hence they need not to rush with such important decisions as privacy inside the email application.

I think he's complaining from the ordinary consumer (non-geek) point of view. And if such he is perfectly right.

"Why does Buzz even exist? Is it because Google wants to make my life better in some way? No. Buzz exists because Google feels threatened by Twitter and Facebook and wants to kill them. Google has become what Microsoft used to be—the Borg,

The problem for me is that I don't spend that much time socializing online, so the simpler the product the better it for me, same for many people I know. Buzz in that respect is just another layer of complexity over email, that is what I fi

Google chat was there right in your gmail for ages, did you find it inconvenient for contacting old friends?

At this point Buzz isn't a consumer product, even I (a geek) find it difficult. This can change as more applications pop up using the Buzz api, until then Twitter and Facebook are perfectly safe ADD: the biggest issue with Buzz for me is th
