I can report firsthand (well, nearly) on the effectiveness of correctly administered electroshock therapy. My mother has been treated successfully with modern electroshock therapy for major depression. It is entirely painless and the only

Status updates are a new kind of conspicuous "consumption": instead of buying that pair of designer jeans for the big night out I'll just post a witty status to show off. Nothing wrong with that. Maybe even better than consumerism: no natur

When I restart an operating system, I expect it to do exactly that: bring my system back up in a state where nothing except the core os is running.

I'm wondering if there's a detectable peak in people switching to Google DNS because of censorship in countries like .be & .nl

Got invited to Mini-Seedcamp. Got covered by Scoble. Got invited to YC interview. Got rejected after YC interview. Launched anyway. I thought that was obvious?

If you use it consistently it gets pretty addictive & you'll start doing more things that are good for you. That being said, with the current UI it's not as effective as it could be. Baby steps ...

Some days I think that's 99% of what the social web is about.

Long-term: CPA: cost per action. You're a brand and run a campaign to make people do things? We can make you help that happen. Short-term: premium paid app

ok, I admit: I just found out about this now. blush . But it's not exactly like this space isn't crowded. Will look into that.

Mobile website ... now, we're talking! First we'll fix the apps (mostly by removing stuff) then we can think about a mobile website version.

Not quite yet, first iron out the bugs. Can you sketch a few use cases?

You haven't been to Switzerland, have you? Or you are from Switzerland and all of this is child's play.

Thanks for the feedback, Ross. One thing to keep in mind is that we kind of launched against our own gut feeling. Which is the way you are supposed to launch! ;-) Lots of loose ends & you can be sure we'll be working on the UX for both

I think in this neck of the woods it's hard to offend anyone. On the other side of the river though, where the socialites put up camp, things are different. They thrive on "taking offense" & spreading vapid rumors.

Actually, we did a website before, called "Quantter". We want to be around when people do things, this means away from the computer. This means mobile. Mobile means AppStores. We could have PhoneGapped it, but we chose not to.

lol, I won't steal your contacts, promise! I'm painfully aware of the points you raise. Sometimes you just have to do a "Damn the torpedoes, full-speed ahead" launch. Timing & stuff. To answer the other points you raise: The feed will c

Battle the dragons to get up 6am in the morning. Drive through a snowstorm up up up towards the mountain of Doom in the alps. Sneak past the security guards in Davos & enter the WEF. Sit around for hours like a good little camper, freez

"And of course there's overhead involved in the application framework where messages get passed around to delegates and so on." Am I the only one who finds this an amusing & concise summary of iPhone development?
