You don't need to be a jerk. In fact, if you're a real jerk, it's probably not going to be half the product you want it to be. Here's the trick. You've hired smart people, right? These folks aren't just grunts (not that anybody is); they're

Inexplicable. I'm pretty sure Google just released some kind of new social product (although I've been having trouble finding links around here). The word on the street is also that Google has some kind of reader app (the name escapes me).

Huh. They're a little older than I thought they'd be - from their messages, I was convinced they were going to be about 15.

The startup I head up tech for, http://latakoo.com/ , is designed around a strong social mission (that also happens to be a solid business model). In fact, it arose from a separate attempt to find a new commercial model for local investiga

One of my best friends is profoundly deaf, and (obviously) they really transform her experience. Only 0.2 to 0.4% of the population in the US is "functionally deaf", but I think the principle is important: if it's required on TV, why not on

The ability to take the content with you, I think, is crucial. A lot of the existing learning management systems have very poor functionality, so it might be neat to use Open as a central control panel for these lessons, and push them to yo

This could be awesome. I'm not sure I like the idea of lessons being electronic in a systemic way. (When I worked on Elgg, originally an elearning app, I declared that I'd stop immediately if I thought people would use it to replace face-to
