I was fascinated by the "circles" approach Google took with G+. It felt like a great solution to newsfeed overload and directional sharing. But then Google+ failed, and we never got to find out whether Circles worked or not

Most people realize that "Github isn't your resume" unless you are paid to work on open source. Forking repos, submitting the occasional pull request or a random side project don't provide much signal compared the code y

Isn’t the obvious answer for Spotify to start generating their own content and become a label? Aka, the Netflix model. In fact, I’d be stunned if this wasn’t mentioned in their S-1.

This analysis collapses because the OP fails to realize that the big players (FB, Google, Amazon, Netflix, etc) don't benefit from net neutrality nearly as much as the long tail of sites and services. ISPs know that an internet service

To be clear, this isn't a product called "Presenter", this is a person who works for Microsoft who switched to Chrome during a presentation. Nothing to see here.

I'm curious about the comment on API versioning. If it instead had the string "/v1/" embedded in the URL, would this be preferable to you? Which APIs do you feel are in need of updating? Disclaimer: former Twilio PM

I think it's less about animal spirits and more about granularity. If I only own index funds, I am forced to panic sell the whole market. If I instead own 10-20 stocks, I'm only affecting a fraction of the market. In the dot com b

The W3C is not the web. Look no further than the good work the WHATWG did to move the web forward while the W3C & Microsoft were holding the web back in the early 2000's.
