My favorite part of this post was how they tried to loosely tie Yik Yak to Square's mission. But they didn't beat around the bush that this was an acquihire. I used YikYak throughout its rise, peak, and as it started tapering off.

Surprised to see no talk of Paper on this thread. Sure, Dropbox has visibly tried and failed to build other offerings - Carousel and Mailbox - but Paper seems like the most well-reasoned attempt so far, and something a lot of their custome

Twitter had a moment filled with negative tweets about United at the top of its curated Moments tab for the entire day yesterday. Even now I see a trending hashtag and moments about the incident. If their goal was to suppress this story, th

Feels old, clunky, and not fun to use compared to Slack. The hosted solution has also had major reliability problems over the past 6-12 months (may not apply if you use the on-prem offering). The mobile apps are very outdated and tend to bo

I wonder if this means Square doesn't have much headcount to fill at the moment - usually you'd expect to see them find roles for the employees in a deal like this.

If nothing more, this brief is very informative for those wanting to understand the issues at play here - a good jumping off point to case law, historical context, and current news.

The tweets mentioning the commercial could be real - apparently it doesn't cost much to run a super bowl ad in a very small area. http://www.theverge.com/2015/2/2/7965777/the-verge-super-bow...

Poor guy thinks a follower saying they don't see his tweets is an indicator of a vast conspiracy against him by a large corporation.

Does anyone track the frequency and size of layoffs from tech companies? It certainly feels that there has been a notable uptick in layoff news over the past 6-12 months.

What do you mean by the performance boost of Android media players? Do they perform better on Chrome OS than watching video in the browser? I'd imagine that in a lot of cases, the max bitrate served to mobile clients may be lower than

This makes me want to buy one to replace my ADT-1...which is not easy to do these days. I sure hope there is a future for standalone Android TV boxes that aren't as expensive and large as the Shield.

This is fascinating, and also sounds like an extremely high-risk situation from a malware perspective. Isn't Facebook Lite [1] supposed to address this? I'm surprised they haven't solved distribution in these markets. [1] ht
